Non-ProZ.com Apr 4, 2005:
I meant "blood"
Sven Petersson Apr 4, 2005:
We really need some more context to crack this one! Please post whatever you have!
Karin and Folke Nettelblad (Folia Textproduktion HB) Apr 4, 2005:
Well, that still doesn't seem to fit the context, because as far as I know, sarcolemmal glucose transport has to be measured on muscle tissue samples. Would be of great help if you told more about the patients/subjects.
Non-ProZ.com Apr 4, 2005:
I tend to think Sven's answer is the correct one, since the tests are made on blood and urine, as far as I understand, and are not sublingual.
Non-ProZ.com Apr 4, 2005:
Misspeling Inded, the right word in Swedish is Sl-Glukos and it's part of the same medical test.
Karin and Folke Nettelblad (Folia Textproduktion HB) Apr 3, 2005:
You must give mor context. Is this also a medical test? I assume that the Spanish form for glucose is just a mistake? But tell us somewhat more about the context. Could possibly be something about sarcolemmal (SL) glucose transport.

sarcolemmal (glucose)

Source text is NOT Swedish.
Low confidence due to lack of context.

New answer:

The standard abbreviation for \"Insulin Sensitivity\" is \"SI\".
Could it be a sloppy way of writing:
\"Insulin Sensitivity - Glucose (effectiveness)\" = \"IS-SG\"

My confidence is still low.

OOPS!

Please read:
\'The standard abbreviation for \"Insulin Sensitivity\" is \"SI\".
Could it be a sloppy way of writing:
\"Insulin Sensitivity - Glucose (effectiveness)\" = \"SI-SG\"\'

I have had an unfair advantage, Mabel emailed me the document.

It\'s not \"SL\", but \"Bl\" (VERY BAD fax copy!!!!!!)

Now the answer is obvious and my confidence 100%.

\"Bl-Glukos\" > \"Blood Glucose\"
Peer comment(s):
neutral Suzanne Blangsted (X) : You used sarcolemma that was a possible the suggestion from Folke Nettelblad

What's your point?
neutral Karin and Folke Nettelblad (Folia Textproduktion HB) : "Insulin Sensitivity - Glucose" doesn't seem very probable to me, but it can't be excluded as long as we don't have a better solution.

Your opinion is much appreciated. Let's hope Mabel can provide some more context!

slight (or) sublingual ??

SL usually stands for sublingual, but can also be
sensational level, serious list, Sibley-Lehninger (a method for measuring), streptolysin, slyke.
These are according to Dorland's book on medical abbreviations, but I can't tell you the exact translation of sl without more context.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Sven Petersson : One can but congratulate you on having found all these abbreviations for things UNRELATED to glucose.

according to Stedman's dictionaries, they are not unrelated.
