In large infrapopulations, the numbers were considerable and the distribution seemed to follow a definite trend ( Fig. 2 ).

Our studies showed that sera of subjects after 12 weeks of diet intervention exhibited slight reductions in the levels of both total triglycerides and percent body fat though those of lysoPCs did not show a definite trend and were shown to be dependent on the types of fatty acid chains esterified to the glycerol moiety.

Controls did not show a significant change in overall MGA across conditions [ F (2, 21) = 2.673, p = 0.092], although there was a definite trend toward larger MGA values in the two open-loop conditions compared to closed-loop grasping (Figure 3A ).

SCC development distant from primary lesion sites was only seen in intermediate or major sized lesions, and although nonsignificant ( P = 0.104, Fisher's exact test), there was a definite trend for lesions >200 mm 2 to exhibit further disease, malignant transformation, and SCC development following treatment. 3.6.

The two hormonal regimes did not show differential changes in the morphology of the secretory epithelium between equivalent biopsy days but did show a definite trend in an increase in abundance of uterodomes regardless of their maturational stage (Figure 3a;b ).

Adult treatment panel-II Adult treatment panel-II was based on observational epidemiological review, lipoprotein metabolism, animal studies, and early clinical trials.[ 7 , 8 ] Pooling of data from early clinical trials revealed a definite trend towards reduced total mortality in patients with CHD but no clinical trial or meta-analysis showed reduction in total mortality in the primary prevention patients.[ 14 ] ATP-II recommended a cautious use of lipid lowering agents in primary prevention of CHD since benefits from pharmacological treatment of lower risk patients would diminish by increased relative risks and cost of the therapy.

The high frequency of tobacco chewing in young people could be attributed to some of following reasons: Younger age group of the rural population is not so familiar with the trend of tobacco smoking especially cigarette smoking due to cost factor Manually made cheaper tobacco chewing products such as mawa, gutakha, tobacco quid etc., are more preferred Peer pressure In rural population bidi smoking has become a definite trend for older ones and not much accepted by younger population Younger individuals can hide their habit of tobacco consumption by preferring tobacco chewing rather than tobacco smoking.

In Viola neither sampling time nor soil P concentration had a significant effect on the total number of T-RFs, although there was a definite trend towards lower numbers of T-RFs at P8 in Viola , with 9.8 compared with 20.3–23.5 in P1–P4, and the P value was somewhat marginal ( Table 3 ).
