measure Urinary osmolality
Study: Netherlands Twin Register Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Young Netherlands Twin Register YC_ACTION BB1_1 YC_ACTION BB1_2 YC_ACTION BB2 YC_ACTION - BB3Urinary osmolality was measured with a density test (specific gravity) using the Atago refractometer PAL-10S BLT/A+W (Atago, Tokyo, Japan). The refractive index is a ratio of the velocity of light in air to the velocity of light in solution, which is directly proportional to the number of dissolved solids in urine.Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
measure Neuropeptides
Study: Netherlands Twin Register Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Young Netherlands Twin Register YC_ACTION BB1_1 YC_ACTION BB1_2 YC_ACTION BB2 YC_ACTION - BB3Neuropeptides, including Substance P, Beta-endorphin, Dynorphin A, neurotensin, and Leu-enkaphalin, were measured with traditional enzymatic tests, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA).Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
measure Dipstick
Study: Netherlands Twin Register Mode of collection: MeasurementsAndTests Biological sample/measurement Available measurements: Young Netherlands Twin Register YC_ACTION BB1_1 YC_ACTION BB1_2 YC_ACTION BB2 YC_ACTION - BB3Urinary dipstick (Siemens, Marburg, Germany) was applied to the first thaw of the urine samples either by dipping in the residual urine volume after aliquoting or by dropping urine on the dipstick to screen for signs of infections in the urine and to measure leukocytes, nitrite, proteins, glucose, and blood presence in the urine.Created October 17, 2024 • Updated October 20, 2024 -
