Following established procedures, 7 biologically implausible cortisol values (ie, defined as values > 2.0 μg / dL [to convert to
nanomoles per liter, multiply by 27.588]-RRB- and cortisol values greater than 3 SDs above the mean were excluded from analyses as outliers.
To convert hsCRP to
nanomoles per liter, multiply by 9.524.
A definition of high cardiovascular risk according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association (hsCRP level > 3 mg / L) was adopted to identify our risk group.44 (To convert hsCRP to
nanomoles per liter, multiply by 9.524.)
Because vitamin D can come from sun, food, and supplements, the best measure of one's vitamin D status is blood levels of a form known as 25 - hydroxyvitamin D. Levels are described in either
nanomoles per liter (nmol / L) or nanograms per milliliter (ng / mL), where 1 nmol / L = 0.4 ng / mL.
The women's vitamin D3 level rose by almost 40
nanomoles per litre.
«It can be estimated that increased sun exposure to the Norwegian population might at worst result in 200 - 300 more CMM deaths per year, but it would elevate the vitamin D status by about 25 nmol / l (
nanomoles per liter) and might result in 4,000 fewer internal cancers and about 3,000 fewer cancer deaths overall.»
At least as importantly, each of the participants ended up with blood concentrations of vitamin D of at least 75
nanomoles per liter, a level recently recommended by several expert panels.
Many women in the United States, especially blacks, have blood concentrations no higher than about 35
nanomoles per liter, well below the concentration necessary for building strong bones.
Vitamin D concentrations of more than 75
nanomoles per litre of blood (nmol / L) were considered sufficient, concentrations of less than 75 nmol / L were considered insufficient and less than 50 nmol / L were considered deficient.
Employing the integrated cavity in their detection efforts, Yakovlev and his team have detected the presence of urobilin down to
a nanomole per liter.
