p < 0.01 ** was considered extremely significant, and p < 0.05 * was considered significant. 3.

Following 2 h of LXA4 treatment in infected cells, TNF-α mRNA expression exhibited no statistically significant reduction, although a decreasing trend was observed ( p > 0.05).

Conversely, hepatosomatic index (HSI), viscerosomatic index (VSI), condition factor, hepatic lipid and glycogen contents, muscle lipid content, serum triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol contents, as well as hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities, showed an increasing trend ( p < 0.05).

There was no difference in TP or GLU between the TES and CON groups, but there was an increasing trend ( p > 0.05).

For this study, data were considered significant at p ≤ 0.05 and a significant trend is described when p > 0.05 and ≤0.10. 3.

Compared with the LPS group, the low-dose ALP group showed a significant increase in final weight and average daily gain ( p < 0.05), while the high-dose ALP group showed an increasing trend in final weight and average daily gain ( p > 0.05).

Significant and extremely significant levels were set at p ≤ 0.05 and p ≤ 0.01, respectively.

5.93 mM; sem = 0.108), and differences tended towards significance ( p = 0.050) at 12 h (7.25 vs. 7.93 mM; sem = 0.151).

All OMP-based ELISAs using local isolates of Leptospira serovars identified IgG antibodies in dogs from the endemic area (groups 1 and 2), with a highly significant difference ( p -value < 0.05) from dogs in non-endemic areas (groups 3, 4, and 5).

The index measured was taken as the statistical unit, and the results were expressed as “mean ± standard error”, where p < 0.01 meant that the difference was extremely significant, and p < 0.05 meant that the difference was significant. 0.05 ≤ p < 0.1 indicates a trend. 3.

The carcass moisture content of the starry flounder also showed a decreasing trend with increasing feeding rates, with significant differences between the 0.4–1.2 and the 2.4–3.2% BW/d ( p < 0.05).

In contrast, the expression of lipogenesis-related genes (Acc1, Hmgcr, and Chrebp) in both nitrite-exposed groups (8 and 16 mg/L) showed a decreasing trend, with significant downregulation observed for Acc1 and Hmgcr on day 7 and for Chrebp on day 3 ( p < 0.05). 3.6.

The whole-body crude lipid content of starry flounder showed an increasing trend, corresponding to a gradual increase in feeding rates up to 2.0% ( p < 0.05).

p < 0.05 indicated a significant difference; p < 0.01 indicated an extremely significant difference; and p > 0.05 indicated no significant difference. 3.

A decreasing trend in red blood cell count was observed ( p = 0.050), while no significant changes were detected in white blood cell or platelet indices ( p > 0.05).

The Duncan’s test was conducted for multiple comparisons, with p < 0.05 indicating a significant difference, p < 0.01 indicating a highly significant difference, and p > 0.05 indicating an insignificant difference.

In contrast, the intestinal IL-10 content showed a decreasing trend with the increase of dietary MDA content, which was lower in the M16 group in comparison to the M0 and M1 groups ( p < 0.05).

In contrast, the feed conversion ratio from 0 to 28 days of age did not differ significantly between groups, although a decreasing trend was observed ( p > 0.05). 3.2.

Moreover, FCR showed highly significant differences ( p < 0.05), with the control group having the poorest FCR (6.32) and the T SFO+LP group showing the most efficient FCR (4.27), indicating that all supplemented diets improved FCR.

ADFI and ADG exhibited increasing trends in all treatment groups ( p > 0.05), whereas the F/G showed a decreasing trend ( p > 0.05). 3.2.

Transport of the organisms did not significantly affect glycogen levels ( p > 0.05); however, a decreasing trend was observed at 5 °C and 10 °C during the early storage stages ( p < 0.05).

Post hoc pairwise comparisons revealed that rats housed in EC4Rats cages with standard enrichment tended to make less inactive lever presses compared to rats that were housed in the EC4Rats cages with EC4Rats enrichment, but this did not quite reach statistical significance either ( p = 0.05). 4.

Morphological Indices and Whole-Body Composition As shown in Table 4 , the HSI and VSI of the rice field eel exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing dietary threonine levels; the T4 group was significantly lower than the control group ( p < 0.05).

For the Chao1 index, GAA and 5,6-DMB + Co treatments showed significant increases ( Figure 1 C, p < 0.05), whereas AGF exhibited an increasing trend without reaching statistical significance ( Figure 1 B, p > 0.05).

The statistical determinations revealed a highly significant deviation (χ 2 = 20.21, p < 0.05), with mixed-sex twins occurring at a much higher frequency than either same sex combination.
