Glycated Hemoglobin Measurement and Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
IMPORTANCE: The value of measuring levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for the prediction of first cardiovascular events is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether adding information on HbA1c values to conventional cardiovascular risk factors is associated with improvement in prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Methods for Large-scale Single Mediator Hypothesis Testing: Possible Choices and Comparisons [PDF]
Mediation hypothesis testing for a large number of mediators is challenging due to the composite structure of the null hypothesis, H0:alpha*beta=0 (alpha: effect of the exposure on the mediator after adjusting for confounders; beta: effect of the mediator on the outcome after adjusting for exposure and confounders).

Glycated hemoglobin in fractionated erythrocytes.
Abstract Erythrocytes were fractionated, by centrifugation, on the basis of cell density, which is proportional to cell age. Glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) in the fractionated cells was measured and compared with the Hb A1c in whole blood and with the fructosamine concentrations in plasma of normal and diabetic subjects. In normal subjects,

Albumin Abundance and Its Glycation Status Determine Hemoglobin Glycation [PDF]
Diabetes diagnosis and management majorly depend upon the measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Various factors influence HbA1c levels such as the use of various analytical methods and the presence of various clinical conditions. Plasma albumin levels were known to be negatively associated with HbA1c.
