Excerpts

The decrease in AGE modification and AGE levels was quite significant in comparison with a relatively higher dose of aminoguanidine treatment.

However, an increasing trend for cardiac reprogramming efficiency was observed with increasing fibrin gel concentration ( Fig. 1e ).

On the contrary, the bands at 0.75 eV and 0.6 eV show a clear trend.

Quantitative analysis of cell size ( Figure 4J ) shows that the effect of the Src inhibitor on the size of InR-expressing cells is highly significant.

Furthermore, P/P mice showed a weak trend towards the most modest increase in perirenal and epididymal fat depots, but this was far from significant ( p = 0.40 and p = 0.29 respectively for age-by-genotype interaction).

Mesenterial fat showed a trend towards less increase during ageing in P/P compared to R/R mice, but this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.08 for age-by-genotype interaction).

We did observe a borderline significant delay in fasting glucose levels P/P carrying mice during ageing but this was only at base line (0 minutes) before glucose load.

The LFS cases carrying R282 mutation showed even earlier tumor onset than those carrying nonsense mutations, but G245S mutation instead marked a subgroup of cases with an adverse trend (later onset than nonsense mutations).

Since the 1980s, the tropical CPTT has shown not only interannual variations, but also a decreasing trend.

Statistical inferences drawn from our RT-qPCR gene expression analysis indicated that genes in RNA transport pathways, especially in NPC and SMN complexes, were highly significant and involved in maize resistance.

In adulthood (PND 90; Fig 2B ), we observed an extremely significant effect of analyzed factors, postnatal overfeeding and ghrelin injection, with SL animals showing higher basal food intake and an enhanced response to ghrelin.

At precessional scales, the AAT and WAP SST records show a decreasing trend over the course of the Holocene until ~2 ka ( Fig. 6a, b ), which is thought to be primarily driven by shortening of Antarctic summers, apparently in response to declining austral spring insolation at ~65°S (ref. 49 , 57 ).

In photodoped devices interfacial recombination process may be significant enabling devices to achieve high responsivity and high speed operation, simultaneously 52 .

Cells that were initially cultured on soft or stiff gels and transferred to gels of the opposite stiffness showed a trend in lineage marker expression that was dependent on cell shape.

Verify3D profiles which were used to identify unreliable regions that had been modeled improperly showed that 90% region of the protein model of each blaA variant scored > 0.2 which was highly significant.

However, from ~4.3 to 2.7 Ma, the χ ARM and χ ARM /SIRM records show increasing trends while the χ ARM /χ LF record shows a decreasing trend.

In this case, χ ARM /SIRM and χ ARM will have an increasing trend, controlled dominantly by the effects of increasing precipitation ( Fig. 2d, 2f and Table 1 ), while χ ARM /χ LF will have a decreasing trend, attributed to the dominant effects of decreasing temperature ( Fig. 2a and Table 1 ).

The other areas exhibit a decreasing trend in AOD anomaly.

The PLV between the left frontal response (F7 site) and the left temporal response (T5 site) at the theta band was marginally larger in the game than in the random condition at the time at which players responded to game positions ( t 11 = 1.89, P = 0.0854, marginally significant for 0.15 s after piece-position presentation; two-tailed paired t test; Fig. 6a ).

4b , although the signal is weak, there is an overall trend that, with the momentum cut moving along K y within the K x -K y basal plane (cuts B1 to B5 in Fig. 4c ), the cross point of the BV1 bulk band approaches the Fermi level at K y = 0 and sinks below the Fermi level when the momentum cut moves away from the Γ-K direction.

Figure 3 (d) presents a typical TGA thermograph of a powder sample and reveals a decreasing trend in sample mass resulting from water loss.

For rs238406, however, we found a statistically significant trend for the allele G → T effect on ERCC2 mRNA expression in Europeans ( P trend = 0.011) but a borderline significance in CHB ( P trend = 0.098).

In the present study, we also found a significant trend for the rs13181 allele T → G effect on ERCC2 transcript expression levels in different ethnic populations, indicating that the ERCC2 rs13181 SNP may be a underlying genetic determinant of esophageal cancer risk.

These peaks could be interpreted as part of a decreasing trend from a drier and probably colder period with higher 10 Be concentrations toward the much warmer and possibly wetter Eemian period with lower 10 Be concentrations.

Differences with a P-value below 0.01 were seen as statistically highly significant and marked **.
