Effects of ingestion of milk and methionine on blood levels of tryptophane and methionine in dairy calves
Series of blood samples were taken from Holstein calves before, and at 2, 4, and 6 hours after feeding. The blood plasma levels of tryptophane and methionine were determined by microbiological assay. It was found that the blood plasma levels of tryptophane and methionine varied considerably at …

C-Reactive Protein, Homocysteine, And Cognitive Performance In Healthy Adults
<p>Elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) have received a great deal of attention as biomarkers for the development of cardiovascular disease. Their utility in predicting cognitive function has also been assessed, though the findings are equivocal. The current …

An investigation of acute exercise and FGF21.
… is a molecule that freely circulates in the blood and helps to regulate metabolism. Interest in FGF21 stems from its ability to promote weight loss and ameliorate type II diabetes in animal models. Recent findings have shown that blood levels of FGF21 increase after a single bout of aerobic …

Assimilation of N¹⁵-histidine in amino acid imbalance
… might cause the imbalance phenomenon {reduced blood levels of the limiting amino acid). It was found that the limiting amino acid was not catabolized at an increased rate and that it was not absorbed or transported at a reduced rate due to the ingestion of an imbalance amino acid mixture. The …

Natriuretic Peptides and the Microcirkulation in Heart Failure Patients
… with varying degrees of HF. We determined blood levels of homocysteine and the natriuretic peptide precursor, NT-proBNP which is released by the failing heart. We also investigated vasoreactive response of the cutaneous microcirculation to different stimuli using a non-invasive …

An investigation of certain aspects of pyruvate metabolism in man by indirect and direct tolerance tests
… project has been to test the postulate that high blood levels of pyruvate encountered in certain conditions such as steroid excess, diabetes mellitus under certain circumstances, and thiamine deficiency, are due to defective removal of pyruvate rather than excessive production. Specific methods of …

A Study of Some Factors Influencing Vasopressin Release
… Dietz (2) demonstrated the presence of increased blood levels of vasopressin in patients suffering cardiac arrest. Experimental evidence has shown that strong emotional stress, hypercapnia and hypoxia are all capable of eliciting an increased blood level of vasopressin (3). With the realization …

Vitamin D status and longitudinal lung function decline in the Lung Health Study
Low vitamin D blood levels are postulated to be a risk factor for worse lung function, largely based on cross-sectional data. We sought to use longitudinal data to test the hypothesis that baseline plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is lower in subjects with more rapid lung function decline, …
