Excerpts

Values of p < 0.05 indicated a significant difference and 0.05 ≤ p < 0.1 was considered a trend close to significance to increase the sensitivity to detect potential selection bias.

americana on filter paper showed a decreasing trend from 0.075 g to 0.015 g as the concentration of the G. sulphureus extract increased.

However, both extracts at 15 and 20 mg/ml showed an increasing trend of repellency after four days of exposure, reaching 100.00% repellency against pest termites.

A similar but marginally significant change in choice probability was also observed during the stimulation, thus, indicating that the decrease in the excitability of the left PPC and the increase in the excitability of the right PPC are essential to enhance left-hand choice.

These studies showed that such communities are species-specific and may be significant for homeostasis of the animal hosts.

So far, only a few MR studies explored the role of 25(OH)D in cognitive function 44 , major depression 45 , and Alzheimer’s disease 20 , 21 ; and nominally significant findings have only been reported in Alzheimer’s disease.

Invasive GBS infections incidence in infants (0.18/1000 live births) showed a decreasing trend (0.3 to 0.1/1000 live births).

The complete OUR-t curve of COD degradation showed a decreasing trend with reaction time.

The phenotypic variance explained by these highly significant SNPs associated with ME ranged between 3.2 and 4.9% and the effects ranged from − 0.08 to 0.09 (Table 2 ).

The statistical significance of the data obtained for the proximate analysis parameters was tested by F-test and shows that the effects of the three pretreatment methods was highly significant as suggested by the model F values on the tables.

Extracellular O 2 − production was highly significant in the 2 CA groups (6 and 8 weeks) and the 4 CA groups (4–8 weeks).

There was a strong trend to reduced spontaneous pain in rats but not mice.

Across the span of 5 years, mothers aged 35–39 years did not have a higher risk ratio for ENM than mothers aged 30–34 years; in fact, the risk ratio for mothers aged 35–39 years showed a trend to be lower than the one for the 30–34 year age bracket.

An even more highly significant result was that the greater the number of symbols copied on the BHK test, the more mature was the spatial organization of the loops.

Treatment during follow-up In the depressed LVEF group, a significant trend towards an increase in several life-saving treatments (beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, ivabradine, and CRT) was observed across quintiles, whereas the opposite occurred with digoxin.

7 , the activation energies calculated by KAS and FWO methods show an increasing trend with the increase of conversion, and the values of the two methods are almost the same.

NTproBNP still had a strong trend to be higher in patients who died during the FU period.

Although statistical differences were not reached, there was a strong trend that local intramedullary injury upregulated Bmp3 in all groups.

However, there was an increasing trend in 6xTg compared to 5xFAD (cortex, 12.24 ± 2.3; hippocampus, 14.66 ± 4.13), but there was no significant difference (Fig. 4 B,C).

Moreover, CXCR3 ligands Cxcl9 and Cxcl11 also showed a trend of enhanced mRNA expression in SHP099 treated groups (Supplementary Fig. 8 h,i).

Consistent with decreased expression of fatty acid transporter genes in NT-PGC-1α −/− adipose tissue, inguinal WAT isolated from HFD-fed NT-PGC-1α −/− female mice showed a trend toward lower [ 14 C]-palmitate uptake (Fig. 5 D) and gonadal NT-PGC-1α −/− WAT showed a ~ 30% decrease in [ 14 C]-palmitate uptake compared with WT controls (Fig. 5 E).

Therefore, our studies showing a functional association between glutamate and proline metabolism during METH exposure are highly significant.

While there have been no previous studies comparing TNF-α secretion in DF from patients with or without diabetes, we hypothesised that there may be significant differences in the secretion and/or response to TNF-α by DF derived from T2DM skin that may impact on wound healing.

In the present study, the AMCase level did not exhibit an increasing trend with age between the pre-weaning and post-weaning stages; however, it was approximately 28% that in the stomach tissue of fattened pigs 24 .

The percentage of ROP infants who underwent conventional treatment also showed a decreasing trend during the study period.
