Trends were noted at 0.05 < p ≤ 0.10, significant differences at p ≤ 0.05, and highly significant differences at p ≤ 0.01. 3.

In the low/medium DCI exposure groups, although the α- and β-diversity of symbiotic microbiota did not exceed homeostatic thresholds, an increasing trend in overall abundance was observed, suggesting a potential role in enhancing barrier function and maintaining host–microbe symbiotic balance.

Compared to the CONRF group, the PBSRF and LRPRF groups showed a trend toward an increased Ace index, while the MRPRF and HRPRF groups exhibited a similar trend for the Chao1 index.

A significance level of p < 0.05 was established to denote significant differences, and p < 0.01 indicates an extremely significant difference.

Importantly, although this interaction approached significance statistically, subsequent pairwise comparisons did not reveal any significant differences between groups, suggesting the trend did not translate into meaningful group-level effects.

As a result, 122 SNPs and 53 candidate genes (in SNP positions) were identified as having a highly significant association with the studied parameters.

Weeks 16 and 20 corresponded with highly significant increased Chlamydia antibody titers in the supplemented group at these timepoints.

It has been found that the expression of GADD45A gene in rainbow trout liver tissues may gradually stabilize or show a decreasing trend under long-term hypoxic conditions, which may be related to the gradual adaptation of fish to the hypoxic environment and the initiation of other adaptive mechanisms [ 48 ].

However, the expression levels of CyclinD and CyclinE genes did not show significant differences ( p > 0.05), although an increasing trend was observed ( Figure 5 c).

Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05 for significant differences and p < 0.01 for highly significant differences. 3.

A highly significant difference in the IgG2 antibody levels could be noted 14, 21, and 28 dpi in the conventional vaccine group ( Figure 10 ). 3.5.

On day 0, there was no notable difference in NATs among the experimental groups, while the NATs showed an increasing trend in all immunized groups from day 7 and remained static from day 14 to 21.

Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05 , and highly significant at p < 0.01 . 3.

Figure 7 B illustrated that the AKP levels throughout the four groups exhibited an increasing trend through the three designated time points.

In addition, a decreasing trend in MDA content was observed, further indicating a beneficial effect ( Table 6 ).

mantzorum , with significance level set at p < 0.05 (significant) and p < 0.01 (highly significant).

However, regression tests showed conflicting results, as a meta-regression test, z = 1.307 ( p = 0.191), suggested non-significant asymmetry, while a weighted regression test, t (37) = 3.789 ( p < 0.001), found highly significant asymmetry.

Differing from the other groups, S100 exhibits a negative trend, appreciable from the second measurement, meaning that these fish started to lose weight instead of gaining it ( Figure 3 ). 3.3.

Specifically, δ 15 N decreased significantly in November, δ 2 H reached its peak value in February, and δ 18 O displayed a pronounced trend of initial decline followed by an increase. 3.2.

Similarly, the parameters of bone mineralization (tibia ash, Ca, and P) showed no statistically significant improvements, although a clear trend towards increased values in the OS 0.30 and OS 0.45 groups was observable, with p -values approaching significance (0.054 to 0.079).

davidianus exhibits a decreasing trend [ 5 ].

In this study, the variability of individual milk yield decreased as temperature increased, and showed a slight trend to increase at the highest values of temperature.

The YS-90 showed a numerical trend toward the highest heat detection and pregnancy rates, rather than demonstrating the highest, suggesting a possible relationship between supplementation duration and reproductive success [ 37 ].

A p -value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, while 0.05 ≤ p < 0.10 indicated a trend towards significance. 3.

The tendency of RE to reduce BST provides direct evidence of its ability to alleviate thermal discomfort in heat-stressed dairy buffaloes, though it should be noted that this reduction only exhibited a statistical trend rather than a significant difference, which may be attributed to the relatively small sample size in the present study.
