This study was conducted among female subjects to assess the possible association between selected risk factors and lung function as well as airway symptoms in a 32-year perspective. The Prospective Population Study of Women was initiated in 1968-1969 in Göteborg, Sweden (population about 450 000) w[r]

of general populations [8, 9], and as high as 30% of the population aged 65 and older in the Framingham Heart Study (tHcy > 14 nmol/ml) [10]. Increasing tHcy concentrations accelerate cardiovascular diseases by promoting vascular inflammation, endothelial dys-function, and hypercoagulability[r]

Earlier, Udani et al. [20] reported reduced body weights and serum triglyc-erides in 14 obese adults receiving 1500 mg[r]

gels were used to separate the proteins, and 200 μg of protein was loaded on the gel (10 μg/lane). The gels were run for 1.5 hours at 150 volts and then trans-ferred to Immobilon-P membranes for 2 hours at 200 mAmp. The membranes were clamped with Western blotting manifolds capable of isolati[r]

Considering the data available, it can be conjectured that if there is any risk association between a single SNP and lung cancer, the risk fluctuation will probably[r]
