Pancreas weight ( P < 0.01, Figure 2E ), β cell mass ( P < 0.05, Figure 2G ), and β cells mass/body weight ( P = 0.06, Figure 2H ) were all decreased or showed a decreasing trend in the PEE fetal rats, whereas the β cell fraction ( Figure 2F ) did not change.

On the other hand, there was a decreasing trend involving total number of citations because most newly published articles (e.g., 2012–2014) had not been cited much at the time of our bibliometric research.

This assay showed a decreasing trend of the emission ratio induced by luteolin, quercetin or myricetin in a dose-dependent manner, indicating the competitive binding of the compounds with ALK5 (Fig. 7a ).

Although the estimate was not statistically significant, other single drug users showed a decreasing trend (AAPC = -0.9).

Furthermore, afforestation restoration rapidly created a specific understory microhabitat due to canopy density, showing a decreasing trend of soil potential N 2 O emission (except at the 42-year sites; Figure 1 ).

The forecast accuracy was also assessed using RMSE, which showed a decreasing trend over time.

We found a decreasing trend of tobacco smoking and an increasing trend of smokeless tobacco use over the 10-year period.

In recent years, the age of puberty onset has shown a decreasing trend, and puberty is related to subsequent health outcomes such as breast cancer, diabetes, and behavioral disorders [ 1 ].

If there is a decreasing trend for RP in Pca and if the possible phenomenon could be explained by aging changes, medical and healthcare funding can be distributed appropriately, and other treatments, such as watchful waiting, active surveillance, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy, should be considered.

The early recovery group showed a decreasing trend of Th2/Th1 values with 2.51 ± 0.46, 1.11 ± 0.22 and 0.78 ± 0.19 while those in late recovery group were 0.95 ± 0.28, 2.39 ± 0.46 and 0.96 ± 0.31 and those in the non-recovery group were 1.26 ± 0.27, 2.33 ± 0.41 and 3.52 ± 0.76 on D0, D3 and D7, respectively (Fig. 5 b).
