Preanalytical factors affecting RIA measurement of plasma kisspeptin.
Kisspeptins are peptide products of the KiSS-1 metastasis-suppressor (KISS1) gene and the natural ligands of the G-protein– coupled receptor GPR54. KISS1 was initially investigated as an antimetastasis gene. More recent studies have demonstrated that the kisspeptins are potent stimulators of the hypothalamo-pituitarygonadal axis. Mice and humans with defective kisspeptin signaling show hypogona...
متن کاملThe impact of preanalytical factors on glucose concentration measurement
Glucose is the most commonly ordered test in a clinical chemistry laboratory accounting for about 30-40% of the total laboratory workload . Measurement of glucose concentration is done in all types of samples: capillary and venous whole blood and plasma, serum, pleural fluid, ascites, cerebrovascular fluid and urine . Most of these measurements are included into healthcare of patients with diab...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Vehicle Occupancy Measurement
Factors affecting vehicle occupancy measurement were examined with the aim of improving state vehicle occupancy monitoring programs. A comparison was conducted of five data sets looking at the effects on average vehicle occupancy (AVO) of time of day, day of week, road types, HOV lanes, locational differences, and traffic volume. It was found that AVO was higher in the afternoons, on Saturdays,...
متن کاملPreanalytical variables affecting the quantification of fatty acid ethyl esters in plasma and serum samples.
BACKGROUND Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are cytotoxic nonoxidative ethanol metabolites produced by esterification of fatty acids and ethanol. FAEEs are detectable in blood up to 24 h after ethanol consumption. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of gender, serum or plasma triglyceride concentration, time and temperature of specimen storage, type of alcoholic beverage ingeste...
متن کاملFactors affecting measurement of urinary oxalate.
Using a gas-chromatographic method, we examined the effects of phosphate concentration, added calcium chloride, and pH on precipitation of oxalate from urine. All three factors are important, but the pH of precipitation is particularly so, especially in the presence of even normal concentrations of ascorbic acid. At pH 8, increases in measured oxalate ranged from 20% at an ascorbic acid concent...
