Excerpts

A highly significant decrease in disease severity as well as a delay in the onset and an overall lower incidence of disease was observed in treated mice compared to sham treated CCIA diseased controls.

Among receptive females there was no relationship between initial body mass and the quality of males visited; however, receptive females that visited high-quality males spent more energy on mate choice, lost more mass, and showed a strong trend towards developing smaller follicles ( Fig 2a–c ).

Females that spent more time on the territories of high-quality, high-activity males displayed greater energetic expenditure on mate choice, lost more mass, and showed a trend towards producing smaller follicles.

DAP12-/- and FcRγ-/- mice showed a trend toward a decrease of trabecular thickness in OVX group, but didn't reach statistical significance at 6 weeks post-procedure.

This is likely to be significant as social traits are thought to be important in determining both the virulence and persistence of pathogenic microbial infections [29] , [30] , [31] .

With the exception of aortic valve regurgitation, the relative risk increased with increasing severity of the regurgitation and there was a significant trend for mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation ( table 4 ).

Only experiments with undescribed and/or uncontrolled confounding experimental factors may result in highly significant, misleading associations.

Pooling all three-brain regions together demonstrated a highly significant correlation between Sp1 and both genes in normal subjects, while in schizophrenic patients there was no correlation with NADUFV2 , and Sp1 correlation with NADUFV1 was significantly reduced.

When individual tumors were analyzed for co-expression of the two proteins, a highly significant positive correlation was revealed (r 2 = 0.8448, Figure 1C ).

ELISpot responses to peptides spanning the entire viral proteome evaluated in 314 individuals showed a trend indicating an inverse relationship between the similarity to the host proteome and the frequency of recognition.

We found a highly significant plant species x bacterial strain interaction.

While the gains may be significant on a public health level, they are likely to be relatively small.

The exact relationship is hardly significant, but in any case it seems unlikely that the overall rate of protein synthesis would be adjusted to meet the needs of a single protein, and it is up to p E A to bridge this gap.

These observations suggest that this highly conserved region containing the MURE1, CHOP and MURE2 sites may be significant for the regulation of genes involved in mitochondrial protein quality control.

Grouping all 21 taxa, Abouheif and Fairbairn [2] considered owls (with a slope significantly >1; table 2 ) to be an outlier; excluding this taxon, they found homogeneous effect sizes across the remaining taxa and concluded that their results revealed “a highly significant, general trend consistent with Rensch's rule” (p 552).

Interestingly, two of the genes in this network have previously been associated with schizophrenia as deregulated in postmortem brains (CCND2 [39] ) or positioned under a highly significant linkage peak (PTPN1 [40] ).

Network identification The two miRNAs that that showed nominally significant association in the analyses were further analyzed using TargetScanS [8] to identify their predicted gene targets.

There was a trend towards similar effects for night awakenings and sleep duration, and a marginally statistically significant effect on global self-assessed improvement of much better or better (NNT = 18, 95% CI 9 to 500).

The reduction in R in generated by both ACSF 1 and ACSF 2 is highly significant for the integrative properties of the neuron.

We found support for this hypothesis only for sensation seeking and in a near-significant trend for virginity status.

A contrast to determine which voxels showed greater response attenuation during the violent condition than during the fearful or neutral conditions revealed a highly significant cluster in the right orbitofrontal cortex, using the frontal lobe as a region of interest.

More children with low measles antibody concentration than those with adequate antibody concentrations were breastfed; however, the difference was weakly significant.

Since the EBV transformed NBS1 cells are not a clonal isolate, we consider the exclusively integrated form to be highly significant, since it represents the statistical average of many transformation events.

There were also marginally significant differences in mean serum potassium and bicarbonate levels in those with and without hypophosphatemia ( Table 1 ).

There was, however, highly significant variation in overlap among the GCM x emissions scenario combinations (effect of GCM/emissions scenario in a two-way ANOVA of logit-transformed values with species as the other main effect: F 5,195 = 19·75, p <0·001).
