"Plasma concentrations" refers to the amount or level of a substance that is present in the liquid part of the blood, called plasma.
Full definition
This is the most effective delivery method, because it allows
plasma concentrations of the vitamin to reach levels high enough to potentially kill cancer cells and offer other benefits.
«CHO [carbohydrate] and CHO+VC significantly blunted the post-exercise increase
in plasma concentrations of cortisol, ACTH, total leukocyte, and neutrophil counts and limited the decrease in plasma glucose concentration and bacteria - stimulated neutrophil degranulation.»
* Clinical research shows that Meriva supplementation results in
higher plasma concentrations of curcumin from a much smaller amount than with ordinary curcumin.
Meanwhile, this study found that «patients with severe acne had significantly
lower plasma concentrations of vitamins A and E than did those with lower acne grade and the age - matched healthy controls».
The drop in blood pressure was associated with the highest
blood plasma concentration of phenolic compounds, particularly vanillic acid and protocatechuic acid.
In conclusion, we found that, in apparently healthy women, dietary magnesium intake was inversely associated
with plasma concentrations of CRP and E-selectin but not with those of IL - 6, sTNF - R2, sICAM - 1, or sVCAM - 1.
It is orally bioavailable and reaches
peak plasma concentrations in 1 hr in dogs; it has an elimination half - life of 24 hr because of enterohepatic recirculation.
Conclusions / significance: These results suggest that a single dose of 0.2 mg / kg ERB is safe, provides consistent
therapeutic plasma concentrations, and exhibits prolonged analgesia in healthy dogs.
Using a dose chosen for each compound individually based on the clinically relevant
maximum plasma concentration, the scientists found a strong synergistic interaction between flutamide, a drug approved for the treatment of prostate cancer, and phenprocoumon (PPC), an anti-thrombosis compound.
Indeed, babies fed higher levels of breast milk show higher
plasma concentration levels of DHA and AA in the brain cortex, cerebral grey and white matter, as well as a higher IQ up to 15 years of age compared to babies fed formula not containing LCPUFA.
This older study demonstrates similar effects of diallyl disulfide (the major liver metabolite of allicin from garlic) in inhibiting inflammatory cytokine expression, at
plausible plasma concentrations.
Mean plasma concentrations of total and sex - hormone - binding - globulin (SHBG)- bound testosterone were 13 % and 15 % higher, respectively, on the high - fat, low - fiber diet and the difference from the low - fat, high - fiber diet was significant for the SHBG - bound fraction (P = 0.04).
Peterson ME, Kemppainen RK: Dose - response relationship
between plasma concentrations of corticotropin and cortisol after administration of incremental doses of cosyntropin for corticotropin stimulation testing in cats.
Peterson ME, Kemppainen, RJ, Orth DN: Effects of synthetic ovine corticotropin - releasing hormone
on plasma concentrations of immunoreactive adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), alpha - melanocyte - stimulating hormone (αMSH), and cortisol in dogs with spontaneous adrenocortical insufficiency.
Bioavailability determinations based on the
peak plasma concentration can be misleading, because drug elimination begins as soon as the drug enters the bloodstream.
Results:
Maximum plasma concentrations (median, range) of buprenorphine in dogs receiving ERB was 5 (4.3 - 11.0) ng / mL, which occurred at 8 (4 - 36) hours (Tmax).
The second study reports no differences
in plasma concentrations of amyloid - β peptides among young adult ɛ4, ɛ3 or ɛ2 carriers.
Conclusions: Higher intakes of PHVOs are associated with elevated concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers, whereas higher intakes of non-HVOs are associated with lower
plasma concentrations of these biomarkers.
The plasma concentration of pethidine in the infant is almost as high as that in the mother, reaching a maximum after 2 - 3 hours, after which the level falls slowly.
Blood
plasma concentrations of naloxone were measured nineteen times for each volunteer during each treatment session, with intense sampling in the first 15 minutes after dosing.
«A higher
plasma concentration of these proteins means that there has been greater damage of muscle fibres and, therefore, a greater probability of fatigue.
