Biochemical measurements and analysis
TfR, inflammation, non-fasting venous blood
INFLAMMATION
We collected non-fasting venous blood at baseline and 26 weeks after the start of intervention into Na-Heparin Vacutainers (Becton-Dickinson Diagnostics) for the measurement of plasma concentrations of plasma ferritin (PF), soluble transferrin receptor (TfR), retinol-binding protein (RBP) as retinol equivalents (µmol/l) and inflammation biomarkers: plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and
