Further, glutelins also showed an increasing trend of accumulation with kernel development indicating that like zeins, they also serves as a storage protein and may act as an energy reservoir for mature seeds.

Pairwise differences were performed using Tukey's range test, and a value of P < 0.001 was considered extremely significant.

Results showed a trend toward a significant correlation between greater Labyrinth-VR achievement with greater improvement in the MDT outcome, such that participants who progressed to higher levels of wayfinding challenge also realized greater gains in LDI ( r 20 = 0.37, p = 0.10, Fig. 4 ).

A Pearson correlation between the intensity of clozapine (MALDI IMS) and the absolute concentration of clozapine (LC–MS) showed a highly significant correlation (Fig. 1 g) supporting the quantitative use of MALDI IMS for these studies.

An overall trend towards global DNAme hypomethylation was earlier reported in several epigenome-wide association studies conducted in the cohorts of shift workers 38 – 40 .

At old age (age 77 and 82), the strength of most individual risk factors has declined, but in the elderly LDL-cholesterol, not included in MetS, is the major risk factor for myocardial infarction, while the MetS variables blood pressure, glucose and HDL-cholesterol were of borderline significance.

During the dehardening period, the starch content of the stems of all three rose cultivars showed an increasing trend (Fig. 3 B).

In the present study, it could be seen that during the dehardening period, large amounts of soluble sugar were used for growth and the content of soluble sugar in the rose stems showed a decreasing trend.

Importantly, rTMS and PAS effects in the present study were consistently present, either as a significant finding or as trends near significance in experiments 1 and 2, where 20 subjects each were studied, but became robust and unequivocal only with a group size of 38.

Finally, we performed an additional regression analysis according to NYHA functional class evidencing that the association of the variables of interest with the outcome of the study remains only significant in the subgroup of patients with NYHA functional class III-IV and approaching a level of significance for HDL-Sz in patients with NYHA functional class I-II (Supplementary material, Table S1 ).

During the four periods of 1987–1993, 1993–1999, 1999–2005 and 2005–2011, the ESV of forest areas showed a decreasing trend.

The largest percentage was 21.05% between 1987 and 1993, while from 2011 to 2017 the ESV of forest showed an increasing trend.

This association was not significant in men, although an increasing trend for risk of AD was observed from the cubic spline when a 4-year BMI loss was present.

As for data analyzed by different methods, the participants with IGD demonstrated a significantly lower PD rate than that of healthy control when h value was used, but showed only borderline significance when using the AUC method (Table 2 ).

3 A), two glaucoma eyes from a 77- and 60-year-old participants with similar visual field MD (− 1.26 and − 1.16 dB respectively) can have markedly different RNFL thicknesses (82 and 61 μm respectively), although this difference was apparent on the sCSFI (91 and 67% respectively).

20 found that the mean P content of Wucheng loess and the lower part of Lishi loess were lower than that of the upper part of Lishi loess and Malan loess, leading to a decreasing trend in element P.

Whereas the SAK exhibited an increasing trend at all sites.

All statistical tests were two-sided, and statistical significance was assessed at 5% level, and P values between 5 and 10% were regarded as borderline significant.

In the GoSlim biological process, “secondary metabolic process” (p-value: 0.0406), “sterol biosynthetic process” (p-value: 0.0421), and “response to hormone stimulus” (p-value: 0.00346) were found highly significant in L25-vs-LHA.

In a previous study, haplotype construction, including R287Q and K55R, also showed a trend for a deleterious impact of the 3′-UTR SNP on the outcome of deceased-donor renal transplantation in Caucasians 15 .

Although no SNP reached genome-wide threshold for statistical significance, a recent study reported that three SNPs (rs6966038, rs6127921, rs809736) approached significance ( p values less than 1 × 10 –5 ).

Moreover, proteins involved in maintaining and generating the CAF phenotype (α-SMA, TGF-β and p-Smad2) proved highly significant after sensitivity analysis (HR 2.74, 95% CIs 1.74–4.33) supporting attempts at targeting this pathway for therapeutic benefit.

Also, on the diagonal lines of these regions, an increasing trend is observed as both gate voltage and strains are increased simultaneously.

The adjusted prevalence of osteoporosis among T2DM patients increased from 3.13% (95% CI 1.39–4.87%) to 6.10% (95% CI 4.47–7.75%) during 2005–2014, and the linear trend was close to being statistically significant (P linear trend = 0.054).

The linear trend of the osteoporosis prevalence among women approached the borderline of significance (P linear trend = 0.08) but was non-significant for men (P linear trend = 0.14).
