As explained in Table 7 , under the same external conditions of the 7 types of PCB-44 derivatives, only the absolute value of the binding energy of PCB-44-6 and PCB-44-7 to the oestrogen receptor showed a decreasing trend; the reduction rates were 13.77% to 33.66% and 19.99% to 31.68%, respectively, indicating that the anti-oestrogenic activity of these two molecules was expressed to a much lesser extent than the standard molecule PCB-44.

[ 48 ] higher precipitation amounts are recorded in the south-western, western and north-western parts of the Romanian Carpathians, while a decreasing trend in mean annual precipitation has been recorded in the Southern and Southeastern Carpathians during the 1990–2005 intervals. 2.3.

Clearly, the parameters G′ and G′′ show a decreasing trend with increasing temperature.

The Mg level in root was significantly modulated by CaP and HS factors ( p < 0.001, p < 0.05), showing a decreasing trend in concentration in the presence of HS if compared to control or CaP alone, which instead slightly increased Mg content ( Figure S2 ).

Besides, the authors noticed that leptin demonstrated a decreasing trend after administration of Theracurmin.

The BMD of the femoral neck and hip showed a decreasing trend with age, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.001 and 0.003, respectively) (Table 4 and Fig. 6 ).

Maximum leaf width averages in 0.329 ± 0.043 cm, and shows a decreasing trend with trees growth stages (from 0.346 ± 0.055 cm in 2-yr-old trees to 0.242 ± 0.084 cm in 30-yr-old trees, Fig. 3 a, Table 1 ).

In some countries with very high HDI, the incidence rates of CRC are now experiencing a decreasing trend, such as in the USA ( Figure 1 ), Australia, and Japan.

The operation time showed a decreasing trend with the cases; however, EBL did not show any significant change.

9 , 12 We also observed that there is a decreasing trend in the relative incidence of leukemias, lymphomas, CNS tumors, bone, and soft tissue sarcomas and relative increase in the carcinomas as the age increases in the AYAs.

However, data presented in this study led to a different conclusion from our previous study on Caucasian T2DM patients, which showed a decreasing trend of serum CN-1 in overt DN (Zhang et al. 2019 ).

15 In Korean children, the prevalence of asthma symptoms based on questionnaire showed a decreasing trend from 1995 to 2006, however, the study results increased compared to previous 2006 data ( Table 6 ).

No significant between-group differences were observed in each complication, but the overall complication rate showed a decreasing trend in the second half phase.

Whereas in the control group, intracellular γ-GC showed a decreasing trend over time [ 31 ].

In comparison with the vehicle group, the expression level of IL-1β showed a decreasing trend in the L. rhamnosus (LR-2)-administered group, whereas the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10, was increased ( Figure 4 A).

The normalized salt mass removal exhibited a decreasing trend with the increase of current density, e.g., 0.12 kg salt/m 2 –kWh to 0.07 kg salt/m 2 –kWh from Case#1 to Case#4, revealing reduced energy efficiency when operating at higher current density.
