Induction of ferritin in Caco-2 cells, showed overall a decreasing trend in the presence of increasing phytate concentration (Fig. 3 ).

1 ) showed a trend of higher ash mortality, especially for small diameter trees.

We found a clear trend of increasing mortality in ash, particularly reflected in the last available NFI (2010–2014).

In particular, despite the time-course curves of GCS showed a behaviour similar to controls, even if on the edge of the normal range, the curve of GLS showed a trend markedly different, as to suggest a delayed adaptation of the heart to acute hemodynamic overload.

In addition, a highly significant correlation (R2 = 0.89) was found between variability during the last ten familiarization throwing movements and the transfer ratio in the whole expert group, indicating that the more variable the participants, the less they were able to transfer compensations to the non-exposed task, see Fig. 6 .

As for cardiovascular mortality, the association between GNRI and cardiovascular mortality was only marginally significant (Table 2 ).

After reaching the late teenage years or young adulthood, acne prevalence rates follow a decreasing trend with increasing age 19 , 20 .

Macular pigment optical density (MPOD), determined with the two-wavelength autofluorescence method, increased over time in the beeswax group (ANOVA, p = 0.0451), although the increase from 3 months to 6 months was only marginally significant.

Nominally significant treatment effect modification was detected for age (interaction p-value 0.042), with the estimated treatment effects being stronger in patients aged 70 years or younger, aHR 1.20 (95% CI; 1.13, 1.28) than in relatively older patients, aHR 1.10 (95% CI; 1.04, 1.17), and for history of CVDD (interaction p < 0.001) (Table 4 ).

The plot shows that there is an increasing trend of particle size with FR 2 values, ranging from 30 nm to 800 nm.

3a,b ), and highly significant lower expression of EIF2S3 (2 and 6 dpi; both FDR < 0.001; Fig. 3c,d ) than the Leghorn chickens.

Approximately 84.5% of the SNP exhibited an increasing trend of annual water regulation amount, and only 14.6% of the region exhibited a decrease.

Soil conservation service also improved overall; and sand fixation service exhibited a decreasing trend due to reduction in wind speed and vegetation coverage.

With increased rainfall intensity, the surface outflow rate corresponding to the OT shows an increasing trend, while the relative depression storage shows a decreasing trend.

With the increase in the depression rate, the surface outflow rate and the relative depression storage corresponding to an OT show a decreasing trend.

In addition, the contributions of CHON molecules in unique molecular components showed an increasing trend of 21.56% in fresh snow, 39.87% in fine firn, 42.67% in coarse firn, and 43.60% in granular ice, which suggested that the snow metamorphism could alter the component of DOM.

Concurrent spatial discrimination learning task We found a significant negative correlation between lifetime GPS experience (in hours) and performance on the first probe trial of the CSDLT ( r = −0.22, Bootstrap BCa 95% CI [−0.41, −0.01]) and a marginally significant negative correlation with performance on both probe trials combined ( r = −0.20, Bootstrap BCa 95% CI [−0.41, 0.01]) (Fig. 3A ), indicating that people with more lifetime GPS experience use hippocampus-dependent spatial memory strategies to a lesser extent.

did not find a decreasing trend in relative frequency; however, they observed a significant decrease in the absolute number of spermatozoa, with averages falling from 34 million between 2001 and 2005 to 21 million between 2011 and 2015 4 .

Total motile sperm count Regarding the total motile sperm count (TMSC) in the samples, we found a significant trend towards a decrease in median value over the years (reduction of 2.84 million progressive motile sperm each year) (Fig. 2A ).

There is maximum downforce increment at 80° of flap angle after which the curve follows a decreasing trend.

Significant differences were defined at p < 0.05, whereas p < 0.01 indicated extremely significant differences.

This association was marginally significant in the multivariable analysis (also presented in Table 3 ).

tau showed a trend favoring females in the ratio of female/male offspring, producing an excess of females which would allow the reproduction rate to increase in order to maintain or increase the size of the population.

Furthermore 4 polymorphisms in cagA (V52I, G65R, S194F and Q/R427K) showed a significant trend with grade of the disease.

Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolic pathway, which was enriched in CA3 subregion, also showed an interesting trend following tGCI.
