Comparison of plasma separation techniques prior to freezing on equine immunoreactive adrenocorticotrophic hormone

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting older horses and is commonly diagnosed by measurement of basal plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) concentration. Current guidelines advise that whole blood or gravity‐separated plasma samples must not be frozen prior to analysis ...

High‐Intensity Interval Training Modulates NLRP3 Inflammasome‐Related Expression and Monocyte Subset Distribution in Adults With Obesity: A Randomised Trial

Immunology, EarlyView.
In sedentary adults with obesity, 8 weeks of high‐intensity interval training prevented the shift toward a pro‐inflammatory monocyte profile seen in nontrained controls—most robustly, a significantly lower proportion of intermediate monocytes at Week 8 (p = 0.014) while the control group also showed a within‐group rise in NLRP3 expression not observed ...

Glycated albumin: An old yet new biomarker in people with diabetes and the potential for novel applications

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycated albumin (GA), the product of nonenzymatic glycation of serum albumin, reflects the mean glucose levels over the preceding approximately 2 weeks, bridging the gap between daily self‐monitoring of blood glucose and the roughly 3‐month window covered by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement.
