Agreement between circulating IGF-I, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 levels measured by current assays versus unavailable assays previously used in epidemiological studies.
OBJECTIVE Levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) proteins are associated with the risk of cancer and mortality. IGF assays produced by Diagnostic Systems Laboratories (DSL) were widely used in epidemiological studies, were not calibrated against recommended standards and are no longer commercially available. DESIGN In a split sample study among 1471 adults participating in the Cardiovascu...
متن کاملModification of serum IGF-I, IGFBPs and SHBG levels by different HRT regimens.
UNLABELLED During the menopause, levels of SHBG, IGF-I and IGFBPs are significantly modified by the use of different HRT regimens. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of three different HRT regimens on serum levels of SHBG, IGF-I, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 in postmenopausal women. METHODS 41 postmenopausal women requesting HRT were enrolled in the study. Subjects were div...
متن کاملCorrelation between Heart and Liver Iron Levels Measured by MRI T2* and Serum Ferritin in Patients with β-thalassemia Major
Background Transfusion-induced iron overload leads to many complications in patients with β-thalassemia major. This study aimed to compare the level of iron stored in the liver and heart measured by MRI T2 * with ferritin levels in these patients. Materials and Methods This study was done on 52 patients with β-thalassemia major aged 7 to 29 years. Serum ferritin level was checked and heart and ...
متن کاملSerum COMP was measured by inhibition enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a polyclonal antiserum w4x. Serum CRP was quantified by a sensitive sandwich ELISA
SIR, Traditionally osteoarthritis (OA) has been considered a process involving a disturbance of the normal balance between degradation and repair in the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. In contrast to rheumatoid arthritis where inflammation, both local and systemic, is a key feature, OA is considered a primarily non-inflammatory condition. The clinical signs of lowgrade inflammation th...
متن کاملA twin study of nitric oxide levels measured by serum nitrite/nitrate.
Nitrite and nitrate are the stable end products of the L-arginine-NO pathway, and the sum of nitrite and nitrate (NOx) is a common way to measure nitric oxide (NO) production or secretion. To uncover any genetic influence on NO, we measured NOx in serum samples from monozygotic twin pairs after an overnight fast. Heritability was estimated as intraclass correlation coefficient. We arrived at a ...
