Excerpts

As expected, the pH values of the CY group showed a decreasing trend during the whole fermentation process, and the same trend could be observed in CYPs and taxifolin, indicating that CYPs and taxifolin could also function independently of yam.

However, at the later stage of fermentation, the addition of CY to the samples significantly enhanced the ILA concentration compared with the control group ( p < 0.05); meanwhile, an increasing trend in the diosgenin treatment group was also noticeable.

[ 32 ] found a positive trend in the intervention group, with significant decreases in HbA1c, HOMA-IR, fasting glucose and insulin, but no differences were observed between the studied groups.

[ 44 ] identified a negative trend regarding the effects of the intervention on LDL-C blood concentrations—LDL-C significantly increased in the intervention group, compared with a non-significant increase in the control group.

The IgM content exhibits a decreasing trend, with a decline from colostrum (~600 mg/L) to transition milk (~430 mg/L), and ultimately to mature milk (~260 mg/L).

At the global level, most of the deaths attributed to the six dietary risk factors showed an increasing trend, especially in the low-middle and middle SDI regions.

In this study, although there were no significant improvements in cognitive function assessed via ADAS-Cog, MMSE, ADL, and CDR after the 12-week intervention, the scores of the treatment group showed a trend of lowering the rate at which AD symptoms worsen.

DEX treatment significantly decreased the p -FoxO3a/t-FoxO3a ratio compared to the CON, while Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 showed significant increases at both protein and mRNA levels, and Myostatin showed a trend toward increased protein and a significant increase in mRNA.

Among patients treated for raising appetite and improving nutritional status, 34.0% (17/50 patients) reported a significant increase in appetite, following a positive trend in dietary intake.

A non-significant positive trend in fat and protein intake was seen among patients with a significant improvement in appetite, compared with a negative trend seen among patients without improved appetite ( Figure 2 ).

The study showed that with the increase in individuals’ age, meat consumption showed a trend of first increasing, then stabilizing, and then decreasing, while eggs did not show significant differential consumption characteristics.

Also, in some instances such as NT, where significant differences were not detected, there was a moderate trend toward significance associated with a strong effect size.

The only variables that proved to be statistically or borderline significant in the univariate analysis (<0.08) were included in the model.

There were highly significant differences in 25(OH)D concentrations among different age categories.

The endogenous insulin responses showed a trend towards lower mean insulin production in response to the SMMC group over time compared to the SM and Glucerna groups.

Differences in the preference and motivation for exercising between women and men in this study may be significant mediators and network structures based on differential correlations between the exercise and non-exercise groups [ 18 ].

Main Findings As main findings we observed that a higher butter intake is associated with significantly higher values for D-dimers; this association with D-dimers is also nominally significant (i.e., before correction for multiple correction) for the consumption of dairy products.

Results: The odds of elevated PSS were negatively associated with dietary intake of total phytosterols, stigmasterol, and β-sitosterol, with evidence of a decreasing trend across tertiles of phytochemicals.

The multifactorial diet also induces a greater decrease in HDL cholesterol, compared to the MUFA diet, but this effect is of borderline significance, particularly after 8 weeks of the intervention.

Nevertheless, we found that a higher Fe concentration showed a trend towards lower TSH and higher FT3 and FT4 concentrations during the first trimester of pregnancy, which is consistent with the previous findings.

However, an increasing trend in the incidence and prevalence of IBD depicts genetics, gut microbes, and dietary and environmental factors to be the major contributing factors.

YP and SPI mice showed a similar occludin trend, and a decreasing trend was observed in the WPI group.

An increasing trend was observed from 0 to 21 days in all groups, whereas no changes were recorded on day 28.

In the sugar subscale, there was a tendency toward statistical significance (see Table 3 ).

Here, we used 16S rRNA gene (V3-V4) sequencing to determine that 12-week HFD consumption affects the makeup of the cecal microbiota, as previously shown, perhaps best evidenced by the highly significant difference in α- and β- diversity.
