“a decreasing trend”

Results From 1997 to 2015, there was a significant decreasing trend in the BCAAs intake of Chinese adults in all subgroups ( P < 0.0001) except for Leu in 80 or older, and a decreasing trend in the consumption of BCAAs after 40 years old ( P < 0.05).

3.5 Gene expression The qRT-PCR results showed that memantine ( p < .05) and pre-treatment with Augmentin ( p < .01) significantly increased PSEN2 expression in scopolamine-induced AD rats ( Figure 6A ), while ITPKB expression showed a decreasing trend in the AD rats receiving memantine ( p < .05) and pre-treatment with Augmentin ( p < .0001) (see Figure 6B ).

IHC data displayed a decreasing trend in PD-L1 expression in the control group, the 1 Gy group, the 1 Gy+1 μM group, and the 1 Gy+1 μM+miR-20b-5p group ( P < 0.05, Figure 6(d) ).

Moreover, most tested soil physicochemical properties showed a decreasing trend from topsoil to the subsoil, whereas soil pH increased ( P < 0.05) with the soil depth, except for the EEGN site ( Table 3 ).

L-value showed a decreasing trend throughout storage for each applied biofilm (apart from PVC), without statistically significant differences ( p < 0.05).

Similarly, there is a decreasing trend when considering the entire period of time analyzed (2010 = 0.59%; 2020 = 0.07%; AAPC = -18.3; p -value <0.05) ( Figure 1 C and Table 1 ).

We also observed a decreasing trend of species abundance and species evenness from DM group to DN group; however, the between-group difference in this respect was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05) (Fig. 3 ).

In addition, the abdominal fat percentage of broilers in the 3% MLP group was sharply decreased by 29.68% ( p < 0.05), and the abdominal fat percentage of broilers in other treatment groups had a decreasing trend (0.1 < p < 0.05) compared to the control group.

However, on average, at the regional scale, a decrease of the total energy supply prevails (on average, ~ 9.0% per decade), with a decreasing trend being statistically significant ( P < 0.05) for about 40.0% of the study area.

Potential pro-inflammatory bacteria Bacteroides , Turricibacter , Clostridium and Desulfovibrionaceae showed a decreasing trend ( P < 0.05), among which the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Desulfovibrionaceae showed an obvious downward trend from the 9th week to the 15th week ( Fig 3I–3L ).

Two groups with BP of <120/<80 and 120–129/<80 mmHg also experienced an increase in DBP, while the other two groups exhibited a decreasing trend (both P < 0.05) ( Supplementary Figure 2 ).

For patients with Hb levels over 10 g/dL, 4 patients received a blood transfusion due to a poor mental state, although the Treg frequencies of the transfusion and nontransfusion groups showed a decreasing trend between 48 h and 7 days after surgery ( P < 0.05, nontransfusion group; P < 0.05, transfusion group), but the degree of change in the two groups of Tregs showed no significant difference ( P = 0.543).

A decreasing trend in Vibrio abundance was observed from FF to CN, in both areas (DS1 and DS2) (p < 0.05) ( Fig.3 ).

The serum uric acid (UA), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and NALP3 showed a decreasing trend, and the decrease degree of each index in observation group was higher than that in control group (P < 0.05).

Oestrogen levels in the oestradiol valerate group (85.9 ± 32.13 pg/mL) and the Erzhi pills high-dose group (100.18 ± 43.29 pg/mL) increased significantly ( p < 0.05), while there was a decreasing trend in the Erzhi pill low-dose group (43.04 ± 11.29 pg/mL) ( p > 0.05).

A decreasing trend for diversity along Airport Creek was present in all years but 2015 and 2018, where sampling sites had a similar level of diversity ( p > .05; Figure 3a and Figure S2 a).

The statistical analysis of the time-behavior for CO 2 concentrations measured during the whole monitoring period indicated that the series was not stationary (KPSS test, p < 0.05, presence of a decreasing trend) and that the rankings of values were not random ( runs test, p < 0.05; Kwiatkowski et al., 1992 ; Alhakim and Hooper, 2008 ).

When PD-1/PD-L1 was activated, the glycogen uptake rate and expression levels of Glut1, HK2, and PKM2 showed a decreasing trend (ACLF+PD-1 group compared to ACLF group , all p <0.05).

Under the same P treatment, the CP, SOLP, NDIP and NPN contents showed an increasing trend with the increase of N fertilization (in the 2.50 – 6.81, 3.48 – 9.70, 2.75 – 5.89, and 4.56 – 14.09% ranges, respectively, p < 0.05), while the ADIP content showed a decreasing trend (in the 0.56 –5.06% range, p > 0.05).

Children in the ASD group showed significantly decreased IP-10 levels ( P < .01); however, they had no noticeable change (yet a decreasing trend) in the levels of IL-8 and MIG ( P > .05).

The peak in the cancer rate was defined as the point at which there was a significant change in the lung cancer rates from an increasing trend to a decreasing trend, as identified by the Joinpoint regression program with p<0.05 considered to denote statistical significance (Kim et al., 2000).

The expression of the gclc exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing DHA levels in the feed, with significantly higher expression observed in the DHA1 group compared to the DHA3, DHA5, and DHA6 groups ( p < 0.05, Figure 3 ).

Furthermore, with the addition levels of TB in feed, the relative expression of CAT, protein kinase B (Akt), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and GPx were increased with increasing dietary TB supplementation level up to 0.06% ( P<0.05 ), and thereafter showed a decreasing trend, while, the highest expression levels of copper and zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) was observed in 0.09% TB supplementation in feed ( P<0.05 ) ( Figure 4 ).

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity showed a decreasing trend with increasing lufenuron concentrations, with an approximately 15% reduction observed at 0.06 μg/L (p < 0.05).
