“a slight trend”

The expression of FHL2 shRNA had minimal effect on mitochondrial motility in neurons that were not subjected to the glucose shift (with a slight trend toward a decrease in motility).

For CDV, a slight trend toward increasing C max and AUC 0–72 was observed at week 6 relative to day 1.

Interestingly, this work identified a slight trend towards relatively longer poly(A) tails for unstable cytoplasmic mRNAs compared with stable ones, which is consistent with our results in yeast.

At day 1, all bivalent antibodies were present in serum at similar concentrations (1000–3000 nM), comparable to a non-targeted control IgG (~2500 nM), with only a slight trend toward higher levels for weaker binding antibodies ( Figure 3A ).

With regard to the IL-17A-producing cells, at 1 week, the effect of antibiotics was minimal, with a slight trend towards reduced numbers of Il17a -GFP + γδT cells and ILC3s in skin of mice treated with antibiotics ( Figures 6 A and 6B).

Although a slight trend toward increased crestal distance (0.24 mm) was observed for lateral incisors on the impacted side, pairwise comparisons confirmed that the presence of the impacted canine did not significantly alter the vertical bone level for either the central or lateral incisors ( p > 0.05).

There is also a slight trend to higher amounts of dye in the membrane as the volume fraction decreases which would be the case for higher porosity.

As a group, there was a slight trend of lower expression with increasing tumor grade.

There was only a slight trend for increased levels of GABA during the latter half of the 240 min sampling time after 10 mg/kg of morphine.

4B ; R = −0.374, P = 0.072, N = 24), indicating a slight trend that throat hair negatively related to seed number per fruit.

Although an overall small amount of new bone formation was observed in both groups with similar scores, there was a slight trend toward more new bone formation in the scaffold group, also together with a better score for subchondral bone abnormalities.

There was a slight trend toward lower risk of colorectal, liver, gastric, and breast cancer with AGI use (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.54-1.15, I 2 = 96%; OR = 0.89, 95.5 % CI 0.75-1.05, I 2 = 89.7%; OR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.36-1.31, I 2 = 55.6%; OR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.37-1.51, I 2 = 66.2%, respectively); however, these associations were not statistically significant.

Despite a slight trend towards lower catheter adherent bacterial counts in Sbp-negative mutants derived from S . epidermidis 1457-M10 and 1585, the observed differences compared to their Sbp producing parent strains did not reach statistical significance.

There was a slight trend toward lowered Aβ40/42 levels in FA-treated brain homogenates, and raised Aβ40/42 levels in DEA-treated brain homogenates for 6D11 treated Tg animals; however, the differences were not statistically significant.

There was no significant difference between 500 μM calcium EP and untreated cells although there was a slight trend of decreased viability.

Although there was a slight trend towards higher spindle density in the lab environment, for all parameters, P- values were non-significant.

When considering studies with multiple articles, the aggregated scores indicate a slight trend toward higher scores over time.

Overall, the results suggest a slight trend for a greater MD between males and females for the OCL and OCW in imaging studies compared to osteological studies.

A slight trend of CivaDot clustering was observed on the CT scan performed 86 days after implant in patient 1; the bioabsorbable membrane starts to deform and disintegrate after 6 to 8 weeks, according to the manufacturer.

Another study measuring serum levels during hangover (induced by 1.5 g/kg ethanol the night prior) noted less circulating estrogen levels associated with hangover [ 80 ] yet another study using similarly high levels of 1.75 g/kg ethanol noted no significant influence of ethanol on estrogens for the next 48 hours measured, if anything a slight trend to decrease estrogens was noted [ 72 ].

Due to a slight trend for NT −/− mice to spend less time in the central area, the elevated plus maze was additionally used to verify whether these mice were more anxious.

There was a slight trend toward decreased questing activity for all origins when average ambient RH was below 80% ( S1 Fig ); there were several weeks, however, when nymph activity remained low despite RH readings well above 80% ( S1 Fig ).

No significant differences were observed in weight and blood glucose changes; however, a slight trend was observed toward improvement in the ARB group, suggesting the need to consider the systemic effects of ARBs.

Regarding PA, as in previous studies [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], at the end of the intervention, there were no differences in PA levels between the groups, although both showed a slight trend towards improvement; this was in line with the improvement trends found in both groups in terms of motivation towards PA (external motivation and amotivation).

The movement of the acceptor end of tRNA had a slight trend towards an increase of difference in the observed reaction rates with decreasing temperature ( Figure 4 b, Table 1 ).
