Only the control (sample A), or the untreated sample, showed a decreasing trend during the storage period ( p < 0.05), which was already apparent from the 7th day.

With the degeneration of intervertebral discs aggravating, the peak fragmentation increased and the integral value decreased (P < 0.05); Besides, Creatine (Cr) is an important energy storage substance that determines the flow direction and distribution of ATP, exhibiting a decreasing trend with the exacerbation of intervertebral disc degeneration (P < 0.05).

Then, APRI, FIB-4, and LSM were further assessed, which also showed a decreasing trend at aforementioned timepoints in DEB-TACE group compared with cTACE group (all P < .050).

In contrast, the HOMA-IR value of the DM + YNH group was significantly reduced compared with the DM group ( P < 0.05); the DM + YNL Yunvjian group showed a decreasing trend but no statistical difference ( P > 0.05).

A decreasing trend of non-conformities during the years was also highlighted ( p -value < 0.05), especially for environmental samples.

The fixed peak water area of Fresh group, IF group, SHUAF-40 group, SVUAF-20 group, DOUAF-20 (H) 20 (V) group, DOUAF-40 (H) 20 (V) group and fresh sample group showed an increasing trend, while the peak water area of free water showed a decreasing trend ( P < 0.05).

Although FMS was not significantly associated with age, the prevalence showed a decreasing trend with advancing age (p > 0.05).

The results of Meta-analysis showed that GPX1 expression was significantly increased in the OA group than that in the healthy controls (95% CI=0.01–1.43, P ≤0.05) ( Figure 6A ). Similarly, the selected datasets including GPX2 expression were heterogeneous (I 2 =79%, P <0.05), and the random effects model was used for Meta-analysis, which showed a decreasing trend of GPX2 expression in the OA group compared with the control group (95% CI=−1.48–0.02, P >0.05) ( Figure 6B ).

A decreasing trend of the tear production was observed after beginning AS administration, even if statistically different ( p < 0.05, unpaired t test with Welch’s correction) from the basal value (17.19 mm) only at the fourth and fifth day of treatment.

No significant difference in AST and ALT levels was observed between most of the 10 green teas groups and model group, but a decreasing trend of AST and ALT levels was found in the Fenggang Zinc-Selenium-Enriched Tea (GT3) and Chaoqing Green Tea (GT7) groups ( p > 0.05).

Compared with that before chemotherapy, the mean values of GLS in children with lymphoma after chemotherapy at cycles 2, 4, 6, and 8 showed a decreasing trend at cycles 2 and 4 [19.39 (17.63–20.96) vs. 17.55 (16.94–20.59), p < 0.05].

Results From 1997 to 2015, there was a significant decreasing trend in the BCAAs intake of Chinese adults in all subgroups ( P < 0.0001) except for Leu in 80 or older, and a decreasing trend in the consumption of BCAAs after 40 years old ( P < 0.05).

In addition, CTRP2, CTRP3, CTRP12, CTRP13, and CTRP15 levels showed a decreasing trend across the quartiles of Gensini score ( p < 0.05, Figure 4 ).

The pH values of five kinds of yogurt showed a decreasing trend following 21 days of storage ( p < 0.05), while the acidity of five kinds of yogurt increased and reached their maximum at 21 days.

monocytogenes showed a decreasing trend from 24 to 48 h ( p < 0.05), except for the dual-species suspension (1:10).

9 , TNF-α expression in the spleen, head kidney and intestine of the recombinant pPG-Aha1/Lc CC16 and pPG-Aha1-CTB/Lc CC16 groups was increased rapidly at the early stage of immunization, with a decreasing trend at day 28, and reached the highest level at the second booster immunization ( p < 0.05).

Compared with the salt stress group, the rate of O − 2 production in wheat seedlings after treatment with different exogenous substances showed a decreasing trend, among which the COS-G group showed a more obvious decrease of 12.5% ( p < 0.05), indicating that COS-G inhibited the rate of O − 2 production in plants under salt stress to some extent, and the O − 2 content was restored to the normal level.

We also observed a decreasing trend in the expression of the lipid synthesis-related genes— acetyl-CoA carboxylase ( ACC ) and sterol regulatory-element binding proteins-1c ( Srebp-1c ) ( P > 0.05).

The weight of the tibialis anterior showed a decreasing trend in the DEX group ( p = 0.05) and was significantly decreased in the 2LDEX group compared with the control group; however, there was no difference between the DEX-treated groups ( Figure 3 G).
