28 , 29 In the pooled group of all smokers (AS and those with OPD-CB), there was a weak trend toward higher blood concentrations of MPO, one of the two investigated compounds originating from the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, during clinically stable periods.
Our results support this hypothesis, although, given the limited number of patients, only a weak trend in favor of those patients with a high PMA (≥ 0.36) was found.
P300 amplitude decline This study also revealed that subjects who played the prosocial video game had smaller P300 amplitudes in the presence of violent words (and a weak trend for prosocial words) than did those who played the neutral video game.
Even though a weak trend toward activity recuperation is observed in the CUR + GM group, this was not significantly different.
There was, however, a weak trend towards increased frequencies and absolute counts of circulating T tm subset in CD4 + T cells in the meth user group but this did not reach statistical significance ( p < 0.1 in both cases).
If we focus specifically on participants who reported obligatory visualization for heard words — which could be considered the opposite of auditory imagery for read words — a weak trend for an association is found.
Pursuit function In the smooth pursuit measures, the PCA and typical Alzheimer’s disease groups did not differ from one another, with both groups showing lower gain than the healthy controls and an increased frequency of intrusive saccades (although there was a weak trend to lower pursuit gain in PCA than typical Alzheimer’s disease).
Harvest date was negatively correlated to loss of firmness, meaning a weak trend for early maturing genotypes to soften more rapidly during storage.
Nevertheless, a weak trend was observed towards a concentration of interactions within a few constructs.
Pixels with a positive NDVI trend and a neutral (including all pixels with a weak trend and SLR-R 2 or PWR-CD < 0.1) or negative TBW trend are referred to as diverging , to differentiate these greening areas from browning areas.
They found that the number of alleles fluctuated from decade to decade; that about 40–50 % of the 969 alleles were present in any one decade; and that there is a weak trend toward lower numbers per decade, starting in the 1980s.
Thus, there is a weak trend supporting the prediction that having highly expressed regions is a predictor of conservation for these empty chromosomes.
A weak trend towards higher CD4/CD8 ratios was also observed in those HIV-negative individuals with H . pylori infection, compared to those without H . pylori infection (2.12 vs. 1.80, p = 0.13).
Several known aging-associated QTLs individually showed no relationship with mitotypes but collectively a weak trend consistent with a role in mit-n compatibility.
(There was a weak trend to decrease with chase time.) (F) Comparisons of the distance between the limbus and the peripheral end of β-gal CC stripes (which do not include the limbus) by Kruskal–Wallis test and Dunn's multiple comparison tests.
There was a weak trend for an interaction between day and treatment for Lactobacillus spp .
In light of the precedence for GPR39 playing a role in GSIS [ 4 ], the effects on GSIS in INS-1E cells presented here, and a weak trend between DMR and INS-1E data in the presence of Zn 2+ (data not shown), glucose tolerance tests in vivo were conducted to further explore the role of GPR39 on GSIS.
In addition we found that there was a trend for less benefit from CSM among those with higher salivary cortisol levels and a weak trend for more benefit from CSM among those with higher production of IL-10 by unstimulated PBMCs.
However, although there is a weak trend towards relative hyperopia in the periphery (positive a ) as the axial myopia increases, the slope of the regression line is not significant.
Alternatively, if the histogram shows a peak at values far away from 1, it indicates a weak trend.
However, a weak trend was observed with non-responders reporting slightly more often ‘manual’ or ‘blue-collar’ occupations (ISCO 6–9) when compared to responders (30% vs 24%).
In line with this, we also observed a weak trend toward increased SLC30A10 expression for this allele.
We detected the same significant reduction in the striatum of R6/2 mice for Dbc1 and Ampk -α1, and there was a weak trend for Sirt1 ( Fig 9A ).
Although we found a weak trend of association between the injury level and ME activation in the contralateral precentral gyrus, relatively large ISCI samples with homogenous injury types should be considered to fully clarify the role of the injury level on the functional reorganization of both the MI and ME networks.
There was a weak trend for differential methylation in several of our chorionic villi analyses, though overall, we noted relatively little significant change in NTDs.
