Electroweak Quantum corrections (mt and MH)All coupling constants are functions of a scale (by the way, definition of the massis also scale dependent). Therefore, different definitions of the sin2 W, whichare equivalent in the Born (tree) approximation, depend on the renormalizationprescription. There are a number of popular schemes leading to values which differ
by small factors depending on mt and MH. 2 2

What about Appelquist--Carazzone decoupling theorem?T. Appelquist & J. Carazzone, Phys. Rev. D 11 (1975) 2856
In QED and QCD the vacuum polarization contribution of a heavy fermion pair is suppressed by inverse powers of the fermion mass. At low energies, the information on the heavy fermions is then lost. This ‘decoupling’ of the heavy fields happens in theories with only vector couplings and an exact gauge symmetry, where the effects generated by the heavy particles can always be reabsorbed into a redefinition of the low-energy parameters.
The SM involves, however, a broken chiral gauge symmetry. Therefore,the electroweak quantum corrections offer the possibility to be sensitive to heavy particles, which cannot be kinematically accessed, through their virtual loop effect.The vacuum polarization contributions induced by a heavy top generate corrections to the W± and Z propagators, which increase quadratically with the top mass [M. Veltman, Nucl. Phys. B 123 (1977) 89]. Therefore, a heavy top does not decouple. For instance, with mt = 171 GeV, the leading quadratic correction to amounts to a sizeable 3% effect. The quadratic mass contribution originates in the strong breaking of weak isospin generated by the top and bottom quark masses, i.e., the effect is actually proportional to .
Owing to an accidental SO(3)C symmetry of the scalar sector (the so-called custodial symmetry), the virtual production of Higgs particles does not generate any quadratic dependence on the Higgs mass at one loop [again M. Veltman]. The dependence on MH is only logarithmic. The numerical size of the corresponding correction to varies from a 0.1% to a 1% effect for MH in the range from 100 to 1000 GeV.

The parity-nonconserving measurements (PNC) are interpreted in terms of the weak nuclear charge QW, which quantifies the strength of the electroweak coupling between atomic electrons and quarks in the nucleus. The relation between QW and the PNC amplitude, EPNC, can be represented as
EPNC = k QW, where k is an atomic-structure factor. Apparently, the interpretation requires atomic-structure calculations of k with an accuracy that matches the experimental uncertainty in EPNC. So far the most accurate measurement has been carried out in 133Cs. 133

where (Q2) is the electromagnetic coupling at squared momentum transfer, Q2, and g(y) is a function of the fractional energy transfer, y, from the electron to the hadrons. The relative weights of up and down quarks is given by their electric charge ratio -- a consequence of interfering individual quarks with the photon amplitude as is typicalin the deep-inelastic regime. The first experiment of this type was the celebrated E–122 experiment at SLAC which was crucial to establish the SM even before the discovery of the W and Z bosons (searches for atomic parity violation at the time gave conflicting results).

An experiment free of QCD issues has been completed recently by the E–158 Collaboration. They obtained the first measurement of the parity violating Møller asymmetry,
The resulting QeW = −0.0403±0.0053, is in reasonable agreement with the SM
prediction.
