A lipase test measures the level of a protein called lipase in your blood. Lipase helps your body absorb fats. Itâs released by the pancreas, a long, flat gland between your stomach and spine. When your pancreas is inflamed or injured, it releases more lipase than usual. Your doctor may want to find out the level of this protein in your blood to find how your pancreas is doing.
Usually planted in the early fall, cool-season grass seeds prefer daytime temperatures ranging from 60 to 75 F. With this temperature range, the soil itself is usually between 50 and 65 F -- the right environment for germination.
But a newly seeded lawn needs long-term care, and there are fewer times during the year when you can seed. In most areas, the best time to seed cool-season grasses, like Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass and the fescues, is in the fall when upper soil temperatures are between 68 degrees and 86 degrees F.
