In addition, we observed a negative trend for lipid synthesis in the LRFI animals which may have been caused by processes that increased the flow and hepatic uptake of fatty acids and/or altered its metabolism (e.g., synthesis, oxidation or esterification) [ 62 ] ( Figure 5 ).
Except for the comparison between the 133-day and 161-day groups, the difference between the other stages was extremely significant ( Supplementary Table S2 ).
0.05 < p < 0.10 was considered a significant trend.
Furthermore, males that attacked their partner were more confrontational aggressive individuals, as revealed by a highly significant correlation between the number of within-pair attacks and male aggression based on PC1 ( Figure 2 ).
Effect of Individual Characteristics Individual pup characteristics had a highly significant effect on early pup survival ( Table 2 ).
Regarding the fermentation products, YCW-15 showed a trend toward higher concentrations of propionate, acetate, lactate, ammonia, isobutyrate, and valerate, while YCW-30 showed a trend ( p < 0.10) toward higher levels of butyrate and pH values.
With the increase of NDF and ADF, AA showed an increasing trend and PA showed a decreasing trend, in agreement with previous studies.
With increase in age, the fleece or cashmere yield of sheep and goats showed a trend of increase and then decrease [ 32 , 33 ].
In the breed AST, a slightly negative trend for rate of inbreeding was observed, but for the breed SBS, a slightly increasing trend was observed, which may lead to a lower-than-expected increase in inbreeding in AST, but a higher-than-expected increase in inbreeding in SBS.
New inbreeding, according to Kalinowski, contributed to 71.8% of individual inbreeding, but ancestral inbreeding coefficients showed an increasing trend in all breeds.
On the contrary, merino breeds had an average N e > 150 and an expected increase in inbreeding <5% within 50 years, but a negative trend for population sizes and number of effective sires.
Furthermore, substitutions with a molecular weight difference ≥|40.00| Da and a hydrophobicity level ≥|1.00| were treated as highly significant [ 27 ].
As can be seen, the housing environment had a highly significant effect on yolk color every week and overall.
P values of less than 0.05 and 0.01 were considered significant and extremely significant differences, respectively. 3.
The gut bacterial communities of the two species of zokors showed highly significant differences in the abundance-based coverage estimators (ACE) index, Shannon index and Fischer phylogenetic diversity index, and the diversity of gut bacteria of M. psilurus was significantly higher than that of M. aspalax ( Figure 3 B–D).
During the 2 h post-race recovery phase, the L -citrulline group showed a slight trend of a decreased heart-rate frequency.
Our study results indicate that L -citrulline supplementation showed a trend towards increased plasma NO concentrations immediately after the race.
The obtained experimental data are all expressed as a mean ± standard deviation, with p < 0.05 indicating significant differences and 0.05 < p < 0.10 indicating a significant trend of differences. 3.
The total antioxidant capacity showed a highly significant increase, while the malondialdehyde content significantly decreased.
[ 44 ] reported that DGAT1 has highly significant effects on milk yield and milk fat at the peak of the laying season.
After February of the following year, snow leopard activity began to show an increasing trend in intensity and reached a sub-peak of activity intensity in May, because snow leopards typically mate from January to March and give birth from April to June [ 42 ].
p < 0.05 indicated significant differences, while p < 0.01 indicated highly significant differences.
The abundance of Firmicutes in the control group showed a decreasing trend from the infection period to the recovery period, while the Proteobacteria showed an increasing trend (differences of 8.62 and −4.09, respectively) ( Figure 3 A).
In contrast, the H-MEO group exhibited only an increasing trend.
This method estimates the size of between-group differences in standard deviation units, which helps avoid inflating the meaningfulness of highly significant but minimal differences.
