The Kruskal–Wallis test showed a decreasing trend in BMI, WC FPG, 2h‐PG, 2h‐Ins, HOMA‐IR, TG and LDL‐c, but an increasing trend in FFM, FFMI and fT4 accompanied by increasing serum GDF11 levels (all P < 0.05).

The comparison of different age groups showed that with increasing age, single metastases and certain combinations of two sites of metastasis (bone and brain, bone, and liver) occurred less frequently; in contrast, other combinations of two sites of metastases and almost all combinations of three sites of metastases showed an increasing trend with age (P<0.05, Table 2 ).

Compared with the control group, the LDH activity in the experimental group had an increasing trend ( P > 0.05).

TVBN contents demonstrated an increasing trend in 15 days of refrigerated storage for all shrimp samples (the differences were significant at all times between all samples) ( p < .05).

Results An increasing trend in the annual consumption of tetracyclines, β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) combinations, and carbapenems was observed ( P < 0.05).

As shown in Table 3 , the Sobs, ACE, Chao and Shannon index of the gut microbiota in the experimental groups showed an increasing trend ( p < 0.05) in a concentration-dependent manner compared to the control group, and the Simpson index showed a downward trend ( p < 0.05).

The percentage of elastic fibres in the lung parenchyma showed an increasing trend (Fig. 1 d) from the 30-day-old yak to the 180-day-old yak ( P -value < 0.05), but there were no significant differences between the 1-day-old and 30-day-old yaks ( P -value > 0.05) as well as the 180-day-old and adult yaks ( P -value > 0.05).

However, all continents with a statistically significant trend in the area of soils with ESP ≥6% showed an increasing trend; the highest rate of increase was found for Asia with ∼5,616 km 2 ⋅y −1 ( P < 0.05; SI Appendix , Table S21 ).

Nepal: The baseline trend did not indicate a statistically significant rate of change, but showed an increasing trend after the first intervention (0.004; p < 0.05).

The exposure levels also showed an increasing trend with the family size, ranging from 53.1% when the family size was up to four people to 58.8% when it was eight or more ( p < 0.05) ( Table 2 ).

The prevalence showed an increasing trend from 2008 to 2017, including a period of rapid rise from 2008 to 2011 ( p < 0.05); the increase in prevalence was greatest in people under 35 years old ( p < 0.05).

3.6 Relative mRNA expression of muscle growth-related genes With the increases in HPM content in the feed, the expressions of Myf5 , MEF - 2c , MEF - 2a , MyHC , and FST first exhibited an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend, reaching a maximum in the HPM3 group ( P < 0.05).

Most importantly, the market weight of grades A, B, and C were 708.27 kg, 757.54 kg, and 800.11 kg, showing an increasing trend with decreasing grades ( p < 0.05).
