Excerpts

There was also a marginally non-significant phylogenetic signal for %C (although K = 0.401 is lower than K = 1 expected for a Brownian Motion random walk).

The correlation between FEV 1 and TL was very close to being significant, although lower FEV 1 values were also related to shorter telomeres.

When compared to the unadjusted results, there was no longer evidence for an increasing trend in malaria visits at health centres during the pre-intervention period, and the magnitude of decline in malaria visits when the intervention began was slightly smaller (219 visits per months) compared with the unadjusted results (245 visits per month).

We compared the two groups using the log-rank test to evaluate the prognostic value of the model, and this analysis revealed a highly significant difference between expression levels and TTT and a nearly significant difference in OS.

In another study which matched body weight and age in 46 obese subjects grouped by AHI, adiponectin showed a trend to decrease according to the severity of OSA[ 6 ].

albicans to survive exposure to the potent ROS employed by phagocytes is highly significant in the context of host-pathogen interactions, because the inactivation of oxidative stress responses attenuates the virulence of this fungus and its ability to counteract phagocytic killing [ 2 , 6 , 7 ].

However this difference was attenuated in the contralateral kidneys at latter time points while in the UUO groups the decrease of CCL2 mRNA in the Nov-/- was of borderline significance (Figure B in S1 File ).

Similarly the energy fraction associated to LE / R net verifies a positive trend during the decaying phase of the season demonstrating an increasing response to monthly precipitation during August 2012 ( Table 2 ).

Although this study was not powered to detect differences in cardiovascular collapse rates and survival, animals receiving CO showed a trend towards improved outcome.

Also consistent with the interaction data, loss of PC showed a trend towards activation of all three GTPases ( Fig 4 ), with a significant increase in Rac1 activation, while loss of PD led to increased activation of Rac1 ( Fig 4 ).

In the bulk soil ( Fig 2 ), the contents of clay and silt presented a decreasing trend with the increasing time while the sand content increased significantly.

The highest dosage of arsenic exposure showed a decreasing trend of total exploring time towards two objects during the LTM tests, indicating that arsenic exposure could also affect locomotor activity [ 29 ].

There were no significant associations of ghrelin haplotypes with BMI or obesity, although haplotype 4 showed a trend for increased obesity risk after adjustment for age and sex ( Table 3 ).

The correlations (Spearman’s rank test) between the SCC values at the peak of milk leukocytosis and antibody titers at 45 days post-immunization averaged 0.8 and were highly significant ( Table 2 ).

In summary, we indirectly replicated the association for CD55 , that for IFITM3 was close to significance, and we could not indirectly replicate the previous associations for FCGR2A , RPAIN , and C1QBP .

Only GO Terms with highly significant EASE scores (p-values less than 0.01) were considered.

Knock down of mARC2 expression by siRNA in murine adipocytes had statistically significant effect on the level of diglycerides and on the fatty acid composition of some triglycerides, concomitantly a clear trend toward the reduced formation of most of triglyceride and phospholipid species was observed.

Comparison of SI max and the n coefficient obtained from each fitted curve between the MDMA and control groups using Student’s t- test ( Table 1 ) revealed significant decreases in SI max and n in the MFB ( p <0.05) and a nonsignificant trend toward lower SI max and n values in the VTA/IP in the MDMA group compared to the control group.

First, given that the VTA is located in close proximity to the Mn 2+ injection site, the amount of Mn 2+ transported along the myelin sheath of nerve tract via passive diffusion may be significant and independent of axonal integrity.

For example, on the granites waterbuck and buffalo respectively showed no trend and a negative trend as woody cover increases, yet an increasing trend is observed on the basalts.

qPCR demonstrated highly significant increases in both the FL-MMP-2 and NTT-MMP-2 transcripts.

The CSS for the HK-REC interface of RsbK is 1.0, suggesting that the interaction between the HK and REC domains may be significant.

No effects involving TFEQ-R approached significance in this analysis.

We also found a weak (marginally significant) correlation between the overall BAS score and TFEQ-D (r = 0.20) which concords with a small non-significant correlation between these measures in a larger sample (r = 0.13: [ 46 ]).

In contrast, the coefficient b-p was not significantly related to the EOTS except at the uphill gradient ( Table 3 , P = 0.026), although it was a negative trend for faster EOTS.
