[ 4 ] showed that inoculation of common bean with rhizobial strains resulted in a highly significant increase in the TRF (Terminal Restriction Fragments) number (51 TRFs), compared to non-inoculated plants (13 TRFs).
Excerpts
The peak currents centering around 0.7 V were relatively stable for up to 50 voltammetric scans, beyond which a decreasing trend was observed in current.
Thus, it is possible that the effect of the proximal environment on the enantiospecificity of a heme-thiolate catalyzed epoxidation reaction may be significant.
This conclusion is also supported by the highly significant correlation analysis.
Values of ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 were considered highly significant.
It has been reported that the prevalence of MetS in postmenopausal women oscillates between 30% to 40% according to NCEP-ATP III criteria [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], which is quite significant because in the past decade this figure has increased and it is estimated that women with MetS had a high risk to cardiovascular diseases [ 20 ].
Combining biological knowledge found in literature and the highly significant results of our enrichment analysis leads to the conclusion that the sphingolipid metabolism is one of the most important metabolic pathways associated with drip loss.
This subject is highly significant as isoflavones have different binding capacities and potencies [ 8 ].
Multivariate analyses indicated that elevated AST levels were a highly significant predictor for RFS and OS.
ChIP assay showed that there was a decreasing trend for histone acetylation at the StAR promoter in fetal adrenal glands, whereas H3 acetyl-K14 at the YY1 promoter presented an increasing trend following nicotine exposure.
As already stated, we can suppose that the effect of this SNP may be significant only for specific patients subpopulations, but this remains to be validated.
RA treatment also induced a decreasing trend in TSPO mRNA levels in cells treated with DsiRNA.
Ex Vivo Splenocyte Spontaneous IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and IFNγ Production As shown in Table 4 , in four-week-old male and female pups, with increasing levels of in utero PFOS exposure, there was a significant trend toward increased spontaneous IL-4 production by their isolated splenocytes.
On the other hand, the addition of OPG to the supernatant led to a decrease in osteoclast-like cells in the CBE conditioned media treated cells and a decreasing trend in the control conditioned media treated cells ( Figure 4 B).
The latter showed the ability of the developed biomass to efficiently capture (or prevent the formation of) H 2 , and although hydrogen partial pressures remained around 40%, they still showed a decreasing trend at the end of the experiment.
We found a numerical trend toward a higher s-IFX concentration in children on azathioprine, but without reaching statistical significance, probably due to the small number [ 4 , 10 ].
Interestingly, previous clinical studies conducted by our group show highly significant correlation of urinary THaldo excretion with that of cortisol metabolites [ 44 ].
Plasma cortisol levels did not change significantly between the different genotypes, but there was an apparent trend towards a raised cortisol:ACTH ratio in the T group [ 27 ].
Compared with oxLDL stimulation, pretreatment with NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082 resulted in a highly significant reduction in oxLDL-induced upregulation of VCAM-1 and attenuated THP-1 cell adhesion to oxLDL-stimulated EA.hy926 cells ( Figure 4 E–H).
Although only nominally significant in this study, the result and the effect of the rs6265 Val66Met polymorphism was shown to be consistent with our previous findings [ 28 ].
Because naturally occurring compounds such as plant extracts in TCM are highly chemically diverse, they have become highly significant in the discovery and development of effective therapeutic anti-cancer drugs.
A highly significant positive correlation was observed between plant height and shoot diameter ( r = 0.96).
Apart from HepPar1+ MPs, among all the demographical, clinical, surgical, and histological parameters that we took into account in this study, only younger age showed a mildly significant association with HCC recurrence.
Not only was there no effect of glutamine supplementation on rates of organ failure or infectious complication, but also patients who received enteral glutamine treatment showed a trend toward elevated rate of death at 6 months.
On the other hand, while non-normalized GHR levels exhibited a decreasing trend with age normalization by NF changed this profile and an increasing tendency in GHR mRNA amounts was observed, although it did not achieve statistical significance.
