When logistic models were stratified by the presence or absence of hypertensive disease, only maternal age older than 34 years (odds ratio [OR], 1.4; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.0 - 2.0), pregnancy - associated
plasma protein - A of the 95th percentile or less (OR, 1.9; 95 % CI, 1.2 - 3.1), and alpha fetoprotein of the 95th percentile or greater (OR, 2.3; 95 % CI, 1.4 - 3.8) remained statistically significantly associated for abruption.In this large, population - based cohort study, abnormal maternal aneuploidy
serum analyte
levels were associated with placental abruption, regardless of the presence of hypertensive disease.
Metabolic syndrome is defined as abdominal obesity and elevated blood pressure,

Because not only is γ - tocopherol responsible for scavenging RNS, but large doses of α - tocopherol displace γ - tocopherol in
plasma and other tissues, the current wisdom of vitamin E supplementation with α - tocopherol alone may produce an imbalance that contributes to cancer and heart disease.13 Adding support to this hypothesis, a recent clinical trial of individuals suffering from coronary heart disease showed decreased
serum levels of γ - tocopherol, but not α - tocopherol.14
Plasma or
serum zinc
levels are the most commonly used indices for evaluating zinc deficiency, but these
levels do not necessarily reflect cellular zinc status due to tight homeostatic control mechanisms [8].
Additionally, the
serum or
plasma tells you total cortisol, not the free
level of cortisol, which is biologically active.
Specifically, melatonin intake had beneficial effects on reducing inflammatory markers such as
plasma glutamine, nitric oxide, and
serum hs - CRP
levels.
You need to have a high

serum insulin
levels to drive maximum cellular creatine delivery.
Actually, to convert from whole - blood glucose, multiplication by 1.10 (~ 10 % difference) has been shown to generally give the
serum /
plasma level...
In this study, fructose led to greater post prandial
serum levels of lactate and fructose but surprisingly had lower
levels of
plasma free fatty acids than glucose.
«The usual way to test hormone
levels has been with a blood test that measures the blood
serum or blood
plasma content of the hormones.
Low
serum levels of certain B vitamins (folate and vitamins B12 and B6) have been associated with elevated
plasma homocysteine
levels in several studies and with an increased risk of dementia in a few investigations.38 - 42 In our study, the observed association between
plasma homocysteine and risk of dementia was not significantly altered by adjustment for the
plasma levels of these vitamins (Table 3).
Hemolysis can falsely increase cholinesterase

When the blood is tested, another sign of CRD is an increase in the phosphate
level in the
plasma or
serum.
Generally, decreases are seen in glucose and calcium
levels while phosphorus and potassium are increased in affected samples.7 Even though barrier gels separate blood cells from fluid components, they are capable of absorbing certain hormones and drugs, such as progesterone and phenobarbital.8 In addition, centrifuging samples using a fixed - head rotor centrifuge can allow gaps to develop in the gel barrier.4 This is why it is recommended to separate
serum and
plasma samples after centrifugation regardless of whether a separator gel is present in the tube.
