Regarding crude fat content, low-fat cuts of all species showed an increasing trend with cooking, while crude fat contents of high-fat cuts except for BHF decreased when cooked (p<0.05).

Namely, an increasing trend in density was observed with an increasing ratio of triacetin ( p < 0.05), which was attributed to the inherent density of triacetin and the reduced proportion of NMP in the formulations.

The IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA levels in the 207-27 group showed an increasing trend compared with those in the ceftri group (both, P > 0.05) ( Fig. 4A and B ).

The protein expression levels of the pyroptosis-related molecules NLRP3, pro-caspase-1, GSDMD-N, and IL-1β in Ang II group showed an increasing trend compared with those in control group (P<0.05); however, these expression levels in Ang II + MCC950 and Ang II + rTFPI groups were significantly lower than those in Ang II group (P<0.05).

The levels of leptin and adiponectin demonstrate an increasing trend as the score of CAN increased (p = 0.05 and p = 0.036, respectively) (Table 5 ).

The TS and EM of the 2MSN/CIT/PLA, 4MSN/CIT/PLA, and 6MSN/CIT/PLA composite films exhibited a lowering trend and ε showed an increasing trend ( p < 0.05) when compared to the CIT/PLA film.

The opacity value showed an increasing trend as anthocyanin concentration increased in the gelatin‐based film ( p < 0.05).

When the APC > 0 and P < 0.05, it indicates an increasing trend, while when APC < 0 and P < 0.05, it indicates a decreasing trend.

Fatty acid profile showed an increasing trend of PUFA connected to the increasing of slaughtering age (p<0.05).

For individuals aged over 90, the underweight had a higher hospital mortality rate than the normal weight ( p < 0.05), while the overweight and obese showed an increasing trend in hospital mortality compared to the normal weight without significant differences ( p > 0.05).

Accompanying the shift in diatom community composition, our paleolimnological records also registered an increasing trend in lake-wide algal production in GBL and GSL (VRS-Chla; P = 0.05 to 0.0003) that was an excellent match with increases in primary production in these two lakes measured by remote sensing (GSL P = 0.028, GBL P = 0.016) ( 14 ) ( Fig. 4 ).

intestinihominis -treated group were Ileibacterium , Allobaculum and Faecalibaculum ( Figure 2H ); the results of the analysis of species differentiation of the GM of the three groups of mice showed that the relative abundance Ligilactobacillus and Muribaculum decreased significantly ( p < 0.05) in the IGR mice, and the relative abundance of Ileibacterium and Lachnoclostridium increased significantly ( p < 0.05); whereas the relative abundance of Ligilactobacillus showed an increasing trend in the B . intestinihominis -treated group after the treatment of B. intestinihominis , the relative abundance of Lachnoclostridium decreased significantly ( p < 0.05) ( Figure 3I ).
