Excerpts

Due to significant variability we cannot state that corticosterone levels are significantly elevated, but LPS, IL-1β and TNF-α all showed a strong trend towards corticosterone induction that was not quite significant.

In this study, we found that there was an increasing trend in carotid IMT values according to the number of risk factors ( Figure 1A ), and multiple CVRFs was an independent predictor of carotid IMT ( Table 3 ).

Statistical analysis including fitting a general additive model (GAM) showed that the trend (solid curve) was highly significant.

At the nearest neighbor “species” level, the upper respiratory tract microbiomes were composed of 13-20 “species” and showed a trend towards increasing diversity with patient age.

Three genes, Hsp90, FAS and G6PD , respectively, were found, following the conservative Bonferroni correction [56] to exhibit marginal significance for variation among C and IE larvae.

Changes in MDA and proline content MDA content showed an increasing trend under drought conditions ( Figure 7A) .

MARVELD2 protein has been shown to seal tight junctions at sites where more than two cells meet [57] , [58] ; since its distribution is limited to such sites, even low expression levels suggest that it may be significant.

Growth of Du 145 was significantly reduced after 96 hour exposure to exercise serum, 22rv1 showed a trend towards reduced growth.

In the ELISA analysis IGFBP-1 levels were up by approximately 4.6 times, in a highly significant fashion ( figure 5D ) while EGF levels were reduced by 43% ( figure 5C ).

Distress scores show a decreasing trend with age (OR = 0.97 per year, 95% CI [0.96; 0.98]).

The 20 siRNAs targeting SPHK1 (panel A) or SPHK2 (panel B) are indistinguishable from the reference siRNAs, while toxic genes like PLK1 or POLR2A have highly significant effects on cell viability.

A highly significant reduction in the percentage of CXCR5 + PD-1 + cells among CD4 + T lymphocytes was observed after therapy as compared to those before therapy (median: 10.50% vs. 4.10%, respectively; P = 0.003) ( Fig. 4B ).

It may be significant that this graft was performed earlier and hence had been in the eye some 16 years longer than the fellow eye, which showed no such changes.

When looking at patients with regional or advanced disease, women had a survival advantage only under 65 years of age (borderline significant or nonsignificant in patients aged 45–54 years).

Circulating levels of AST, ALT and cholesterol resulted increased at 6 weeks of HFD, while LDL and triglycerides showed a trend of increase.

For the same time frame, the grab sampling method showed an increasing trend from summer to the rainy season to winter.

The difference between autistic children and typically developing children was in the same direction and approached significance.

Differences between two means with p<0.05 were considered as statistically significant (*), p<0.01 very significant (**) and p<0.001 extremely significant (***).

8E, 8F and 8G), but these differences were hardly significant.

This was an expected trend since at low copy numbers the signal is more difficult to distinguish from noise, a characteristic not only of the extraction process, but also of the PCR.

We included the three estuaries initially as a random local ecological effect in all models; this term was highly significant in the model for macrofauna, although not in that for meiofauna.

Although non-significant, there was a positive trend relating the pregnant woman's proportion of n-3 LCPUFA in serum phospholipids to her intake of fish.

rossii was not significantly altered by hypercapnia, but a clear trend towards more PUFAs and n-6 FA’s was visible in the cold/warm hypercapnia acclimated animals.

The incidence of TLI Fractional dose is generally considered to be highly significant in terms of TLI development, and our study presents a relatively higher incidence of TLI than has been reported in previous studies that used comparable fractional size [9] , [17] – [18] .

Over the past century, sleep duration in children and adolescents showed a trend of 0.75 min less per year [2] .
