Excerpts

A pattern of results for time delays (while approaching significance) is consistent with the ‘reflective rationality hypothesis’.

Although the citric acid response pattern and the maximum Ca +2 influx response observed in these three cell types are different, the responsiveness to citric acid stimulus in the form of increased Ca +2 influx was a clear trend displayed by these TRPA1 expressing cell types, unlike the lack of any significant response seen with the hTRPV1 expressing CHO cell line (data not shown).

This association was nominally significant in white participants ( P -value nom = 0.004), but did not remain significant after correction for multiple testing ( Table 2 ).

Thus, when leptin levels are adjusted for percentage body fat, the association between rs1943225 and higher leptin levels was observed to be highly significant in white females ( Table 3 ).

And there was a significant trend in risk with increasing number of meals cooked by deep frying.

Importantly, because several previous reports suggest that there may be significant gender differences in the natural history of COPD [8] – [10] and some experimental observations show that the leukocyte transcriptional response to other acute stressors (infection) is different in males and females [11] , we recruited participants stratified by sex.

6 ) and this value was approaching significance.

NFΚB (p50/p105) in the lungs of BL treated septic mice showed only a decreasing trend.

Here, in an unbiased sample of publicly available microarray data on gene expression in various knockouts, highly significant differences from wild-type (either increases or decreases) are noted in the gene expression coefficients of variation (CVs) of virtually every knockout considered.

A p-value of less than 0.05 and 0.001 were considered to be statistically significant and highly significant, respectively.

Figure 2 describes toxin concentrations by decades of age, revealing a highly significant quadratic association between either toxin concentration and age.

Encouragingly, there has been an increasing trend towards development of such agreements in Zambia in recent years [5] , [48] .

The net result of these interventions is likely to be significant improvements in the effectiveness of parks networks, substantial job creation and economic gains due to growth in tourism industries.

Kaplan-Meier estimator analysis demonstrated in fact a highly significant reduction in growth of tumour mass in animals treated with loaded EMHVs and magnetic field application, when compared with free Decitabine treatment.

Recurrent depression did not reach significance or even a trend towards significance in the bivariate analysis.

The current study displays intriguing and highly significant differences between the two Gα i -isoforms albeit it employed a relatively small number of animals.

This is reflected by both the 24 hour peaks in the FFT analysis and the highly significant diel changes in the GAM modelling between deeper, day-time behaviour and shallower, dusk and early night-time behaviour.

P -values <0.05 were considered statistically significant those <0.01 were regarded as highly significant.

The association of c.3321delA in our group was best described with an additive model that displayed a clear trend for increased disease risk in heterozygous and homozygous c.3321delA patients.

Reported p values are three-tailed; *, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant, and **, p<0.01 were considered as statistically highly significant.

Mean overall cognitive z-score was significantly lower in the Higher Decreasing group compared to all other groups except Higher Increasing- in which the difference approached significance.

Similarly, for semantic categorization, mean z-scores were lower for the Higher Decreasing group compared to all other groups (approaching significance for the Lower Decreasing group).

They also find that there was no statistical difference in clinical improvement on the ODI, although a favorable trend in the rhBMP-2 group was found.

Although there was a decreasing trend observed in mitotic and vessel counts of the GSNO treated mice tumors, we could not detect a significant change ( Fig. 5F–G ).

37.9%, p = 7.43×10 −4 , respectively), although most of the nominally significant p values did not survive the Bonferroni correction ( Table 4 ).
