Excerpts

At day 28, Dialister and Prevotella were strongly positively correlated between the vaginal and cutaneous penile microbiota of sexual partners ( ρ = 0.72 and ρ = 0.71, respectively) with borderline significance (q = 0.05; S4 Table ).

This observation explained the low number of highly significant DEGs between different QMR conditions and controls.

At 12 weeks, POMC mRNA showed a decreasing trend.

Genus Prevotella has a highly significant presence in SD diet, correlating inversely with total cholesterol, which accounts for the significant differences observed between SD and high fat diets and described in Table 1 .

P values less than 0.05 were considered to be significant, values where 0.1>P>0.05 were considered a tendency towards significance.

On the other hand, SI values of gamma diversity do not stabilize in the four years of monitoring and showed an increasing trend.

The oscillations during 1998 and 1999 contrast with the patterns shown by alpha diversity and the other variables where a decreasing trend rather than oscillations were observed for the same period.

Comparison of the phenotype of the Adamts5 -/- -J mice of the present study with that of the Adamts5 -/- -P mice reveals some similarities supporting specificity of the phenotype, but also some quantitative and qualitative differences: (i) with respect to WAT mass: in Adamts5 -/- -J mice lower sWAT and GON fat mass was found, which was significant after 2 weeks of cold exposure, but only showed a trend in the DIO model; (ii) with respect to BAT mass: in Adamts5 -/- -J mice no significant difference with WT mice was observed after 2 weeks of cold exposure nor in the DIO model; (iii) with respect to browning of WAT: in Adamts5 -/- -J mice higher expression of UCP-1 mRNA and protein was found after 2 weeks of cold exposure (mRNA: 1.5- to 2-fold as compared to 5-fold for Adamts5 -/- -P mice).

PLCTs are similar to MCLs, however δ 18 O has a positive trend due to evaporative enrichment of 18 O, with the slope of that trend being controlled by the intensity of evaporation.

Differences in log 2 fold change values for the T6SS island proteins are highly significant for proteins detected in 5 or more replicate experiments, but have lower or no statistical significance for proteins detected in 2 or fewer replicate experiments despite the fact that the genes encoding these proteins are present only in isolate 00–1597 ( S4 Table ).

TaN shows a decreasing trend, similarly to what we observed above for nitrides in general.

Both fire weather and fuel type were highly significant, with effects consistent with known fire behaviour.

Nonetheless, the interaction was highly significant in both experiments, with independent participants, and as such, seems reliable.

The difficulty ratings made by musical experts for temporal rhythms do show a numerical trend in the expected direction, with higher difficulty ratings for rhythms with more counterevidence off the beat.

The p-values for the effect of time-of-day and CPT for each of the secondary outcomes were not further corrected for the multiplicity arising from testing multiple measures and therefore, we do not focus on p-values of borderline significance for these measures.

HR showed a trend similar to SNA.

However, mild leukocytosis due to increase-segmented neutrophils of marginal significance was observed in the 5 mg/kg group with a slight increase of total white blood cells (WBC) count ( Table 3 ) as compared to the control group.

Conversely, South Africa showed an increasing trend in intrapartum and postpartum mortality and West Africa showed an increase in antepartum and intrapartum mortality.

All strains showed a trend to increased survival time compared to TIGR4 although not statistically significant due to the small number of animals used in this screen (n = 2) ( S2 Fig ).

(data is not shown) Additionally, the hepatic expression level of TLR4 confirmed by RT-PCR showed a decreasing trend in the light alcohol consumer group as compared with that in the non-alcohol group.

For O 3 , we found evidence of effect modification by gender and household income, and marginally non-significant interactions with physical activity.

Along with the prolonged time from APAP administration, HO-1 expression exhibited a decreasing trend in all groups.

Conclusions As benzodiazepines have fallen out of favor due to safety concerns, an apparent trend towards zolpidem prescribing for treatment of insomnia has become increasingly widespread.

After 1 year, a decreasing trend in the DON concentration was observed with warming + N addition.

Correspondingly, a significant increasing trend in DTN and NO 3 - concentration was observed with warming and warming + N addition, with only an increasing trend observed for NH 4 + ( Table 1 ).
