Results Mice fed HF/HC-SK diet showed a trend towards an increase in final body weight compared to HF/HC control.

However, with the increase in green light content, P n showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing ( Figure 4A ).

The watermelon rind showed a trend of decreasing spectral intensity of the main bands from the early stage (A) to the mature stage (D).

Effect of Salt Stress on the Taste Value of Rice As revealed in this study, the appearance, viscosity, degree of balance, and taste values of rice under salt stress showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing, and hardness exhibited a trend of decreasing and then increasing, and salt stress had significant effect on the appearance ( P = 0.005), hardness ( P = 0.012), viscosity ( p = 0.007), degree of balance ( p = 0.006), and taste value ( p = 0.006).

Generally, WEIRD participants showed a trend of increased animal liking compared to the other groups ( p -values range from 0.000 to 0.044), except for the dugong for which the South East Asian and the WEIRD participants do not differ significantly [ t (1,579) = 0.278, p = 0.781] and the saker falcon for which the South Asian and the WEIRD groups do not differ [ t (2,257) =1.47, p = 0.143].

17 Recent studies indicated that postoperative CRT showed a trend toward higher locoregional control rates than those treated with RT alone.

APP/PS1 mice with different light treatments showed a trend of improvement in learning compared to those without light treatment during training stage.

In our study, hyperglycemia was not associated with an increased risk of ASz; however, hypoglycemia ≤ 50 mg/dl showed a trend toward more ASz.

Among the rest of 128 non-PHPT patients, higher SCLs showed a trend of positive association with higher tumor grade and axillary lymph node involvement, and received immunotherapy, although without statistical significance.

In m Lepr db mice, ADF also showed a trend toward increasing the % of maximal relaxation at an ACh concentration of 10 –7 mol/L.

In the GTTs we did not observe statistically significant differences although Ccdc28b mut mice showed a trend towards an impaired GTT response, particularly after 11 weeks on HFD ( Fig 4G–4I ).

Moreover, CIMT and the CIMT thickening rate in the hyperuricemia group showed a trend gradual increase with the increase in FBG.

coagulans and inulin have all showed a trend of decrease in the levels of either CRP or hs-CRP, although these results were not significant ( 157 – 159 ).

Individuals who lacked neutralization activity at baseline showed a trend toward more rapid clearance, suggesting a strong impact of the endogenous neutralization activity these individuals mounted until day 9 ( Figure 7C ).

Finally, regarding serum cytokine levels, SDNN showed a trend towards a positive correlation with higher circulating levels of IFN-γ and IL-8, reflecting the same pattern evident at the transcription factor level.

RCTs showed a trend to be more likely to take place in autism centres/clinics (n = 7 out of 17; 41% versus n = 8 or in a familiar environment such as school (n = 6 out of 17; 35% versus n = 1 out of 23; 4%).

VEGF-positive samples showed a trend towards a higher microvessel density, but this did not reach statistical significance (VEGF-positive, 10.62 mm 2 ; VEGF-negative, 9.55 mm 2 ; Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.84) [ 24 ].

The internal validation curve ( Figure 3 ) and external validation curve ( Figure 4 ) showed a trend that the true value and the predicted value were consistent.

No difference in plasma concentration of C2, C3, C5, and MBL was observed between corticosteroid-naïve and -treated AChR-MG patients, and no correlation was found between the protein concentrations and the duration of IS treatment (data not shown), with the exception of MBL levels, that showed a trend to be higher in corticosteroid-naïve than corticosteroid-treated patients.

The arylsulfatase activity showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing and was the highest in the early stage of sewage sludge composting ( Figure 4 ).

Analyses of liver samples showed a trend towards an increase in liver TG upon MA feeding.

This study showed a trend toward the superiority of intraperitoneal catumaxomab, but the difference of mCR rates was not statistically significant (mCR rates, 27% vs. 19%, p = 0.69).

When the treatments in the presence and absence of ascorbate were compared, the addition of ascorbate at concentrations up to 0.5 mM showed a trend of increasing cell survival, but these increases were not statistically different to those in the absence of ascorbate for any concentration of zeaxanthin and 80 μM α-tocopherol ( Figure 9 A).

After shunt surgery, all DTI parameters showed a trend towards normalization although there were no significant differences between the patient and normal control groups.

A similar increase in neuronal activity during waking and REM sleep only showed a trend ( Figure 5 G,I).
