We'd like to try a chemical approach to check whether some enzymes that apparently are isoforms, could be in fact just a single protein with different degrees of glycosylation. For that we need a "mild" protocol that would not inactivate the enzyme.
We found tests to determine cardiovascular risk taking into account lipid profile, blood pressure, age, history of diabetes, other laboratories. But when weight is involved, there is a paradox. I...
