“a slight trend”

There was a slight trend toward lower IRS-2–dependent PI3K activity in male Ldlr –/– Acod1 –/– mice.

However, the increased rate of protein synthesis and MyHC-II expression was reflected only in a slight trend of increase in the caliber of regenerating myofibers upon leucine supplementation in comparison to those from the Cryo group, suggesting that a significant increase in the myofiber size upon leucine supplementation may be detected in periods longer than 10 days post-injury.

In addition, we observed a BCSC-enriched population and a slight trend toward upregulation after CT.

Moreover, within this range of pine bark filler content, a slight trend toward increased activity of the filled PUR foam systems compared with the initial non-filled composition was noticeable ( Figure 15 ).

At 120°/s we can observe a slight trend in favor of HUB for the peak torque and the extensor strength.

By this standard, high dose minocycline given immediately after rNAION induction and for 4 weeks thereafter failed to significantly improve post-stroke RGC numbers, although there was a slight trend.

No obvious differences were observed between the two agents; however, a slight trend toward lower viral load in the antibody cocktail group was observed at 5 days p.i.

The Cu content decreased significantly from February to May and showed a slight trend towards recovery by August.

Moreover, the CD4 + and CD8 + T cell functionality is supported by cytokine secretion and the expression of the co‐inhibitory receptor CTLA‐4 with a slight trend toward higher levels in the core region, especially for IFNγ (Figure 2H ).

In spite of the fact that, in her study, Hall found no solid evidence on the impact of the duration of the education - whether this may be measured in hours or spread over days - in relation to the satisfaction level perceived or to the acquisition of knowledge ( 40 ) , in the current study a slight trend has indeed been observed in the sense that the lower the number of hours, the greater the general satisfaction level, with such education being concentrated in a shorter period of time.

Urine shows no relevant susceptibility to the strong acidification in the renal pelvis ( p = 0.55) despite a slight trend for more alkaline pH values due to obstruction-related inability of acid excretion 63 .

Hemoglobin In subjects undergoing treatments with O 2 mixtures, a slight trend towards higher hemoglobin levels was noted, despite being not significant.

In addition, there is a slight trend toward a shorter direct gate-to-gate distance for the section of the race that increases in inclination; thus, in the flat sections, the courses are set straighter than in the steep sections for which a more sinuous course setting is usually chosen (Bruhin et al., 2018 ).

** During 2015–2019, AASDR remained consistent for both Black (range = 100.5–102.0 [with a slight trend of increased rates]) and White adults (range = 69.1–70.6 [with a slight trend of decreased rates]); the average absolute difference was 31.3 per 100,000, and the average relative difference was 1.4.

Prevalence of 46,XY DSD was 11.5 (95% CI, 9.9-13.4) per 100 000 newborns for the entire study period and remained stable over time (APC 1.8; 95% CI, −.5 to 4.1) ( Table 2 , Supplemental Figure 1C [ 28 ]), with a slight trend toward an increasing prevalence after 2014 ( Fig. 2C ).

Similarly, our study showed a slight trend toward PFS benefit for patients receiving combination therapy as first-line treatment (HR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.54–1.30).

Finally, a slight trend has been observed here towards successively increasing risk of overweight in low birth weight subjects with increasing age, i.e. , in adulthood ( Table 1 ).

Two-way RM-ANOVA of binned peak distributions highlighted only a significant bin × group interaction [ F (38, 589) = 1.55, p < 0.05], but with no significant post-hoc tests, and no significant effect of group [ F (2,31) = 1.42], suggesting a slight trend towards increased peak amplitude in FS-stressed rats treated with ketamine ( Figure 2C ).

Critically, such inhibition had no effects on freezing, or jumping, with only a slight trend to reduce stretch attended postures (SAP; Supplementary Fig. 10b–e ).

The subjects tested showed a slight trend of more recurrences in HSV-2 single positive subjects, fewer recurrences among HSV-1/HSV-2 double positive individuals and the fewest recurrences in HSV-1 single positives (data not shown).

We observed a slight trend to increased accuracy in identification rates, however, the slope of the fitted regression line was not significantly different from zero ( p = 0.09) ( Figure 2B ).

In particular, there was a slight trend toward increased 28-day mortality in both subgroups after MARS treatment compared to SMT: 28-day mortality in patients with acute liver injury (MARS 5.3% (95% CI: 0–15.3%); SMT 3.3% (95% CI: 0–9.8), p = 0.754) and in those with GD (MARS 20.0% (95% CI: 0–44.7), SMT 11.1% (95% CI: 0–31.7), p = 0.478).

However, in the finisher phase, the analysis shows a slight trend towards increased ADG with full doses, though this trend does not reach statistical significance at the conventional 0.05 level. 3.2.4.

While the quantified concentration of indigoidine via a colorimetric assay did not show a strong dependence on initial concentration of sugar present in the cultures grown in glycerol, a slight trend towards more intense coloration of the culture with increasing sugar concentration was observed (Fig. 3 a).

Although the deviation rate in this study was not significantly lower when the NAVI drill was used, there was a slight trend toward a lower deviation rate.
