Hi, I'm guessing that you're talking about a medical paper. From what I know, fasting levels and fed levels refer to the blood levels of certain substances (most commonly glucose). Fasting levels refer to the amount of the substance found in the blood when the blood is taken from a subject who has not eaten for a certain period of time (e.g. 24 hours). Fed levels refer to the amount of the substance found in the blood when the blood is taken from a subject who has recently eaten a meal. In testing blood glucose levels (e.g. diabetes tests), there is a difference between the fed and fasting levels since you will have more glucose in your blood after a meal compared to when you have not eaten in a while. \n\nI'm sorry I can't explain what clamped and blunted mean because I'm not sure in what context the two words were used.

I think you'd have to put it in context to get a decent answer (at least from someone who hasn't read the article to which you refer).  It could mean any number of things depending on the sentences that preceded or followed it.

stasis\n\nbut the word is more of a scientific word e.g\n\ncell stasis (stopped dividing/growing)\n\n\n"The term stasis has several meanings:\n\nA state of stability, in which all forces are equal and opposing, therefore they cancel out each other. \nIn medicine, stasis means the state in which the normal flow of a body liquid stops, for example the flow of blood through vessels or of intestinal contents through the digestive tract. \nIn science fiction, the concept of stasis implies an artificial pause that stops all physical and chemical processes, including those of life; they resume as if uninterrupted as soon as the stasis is ended. \nIn music, it is a technique or form used in minimalist music, and also any other style that may use slow musical development. \nIn the punctuated equilibrium model of evolutionary biology, stasis is a period of little or no evolutionary change in a species. "\n\n\nif you want to use a noun for static , like in this example\n\n(if there is a conductor, then electricity loses it's \n(static)  )\n\ni dont think stasis would do in this case , so i think in general you can use  \n(static property)\n\nso the sentence would read:\n(if there is a conductor, then electricity loses it's \n static property. )

See if this table will help. If not, you may just have to go back to where your textbook covers that or ask your teacher to explain.
