Higher amounts of total lipids (LIP/TBM, p < 0.05) and lower amounts of total proteins (PRT/TBM, p < 0.05) were detected only in Hi75 and Hi100 liver samples; an increasing trend in fatty acids amount (FA/TBM, p < 0.05) was detected in all livers samples of fish fed diets with increasing BSF meal inclusion levels, together with a decrease of both carbohydrates (COH/TBM, p < 0.05) and phosphates (PH/TBM, p < 0.05); lower levels of glycogen (GLY/TBM, p < 0.05) were found in Hi50 and Hi75 groups.

However, it showed an increasing trend with storage time ( p < .05).

Then, compared with the CsA or Rapa single treatment group, there is an increasing trend in the whole blood cell count in the Rapa combined with Elt group, and the WBC increased most obviously ( P < 0.05).

Within the tested range of concentrations, i.e., 5-15 mg/l, an increasing trend was observed only with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (X 2 -7.87; p < 0.05).

Many genera from Firmicutes exhibited an increasing trend ( P < 0.05), including Vagococcus , Roseburia , Enterococcus , Facklamia , Lactobacillus , Faecalibacterium , unclassified Anaerostipes , Lachnobacterium , Coprococcus , Anaerovibrio , Clostridium _ sensu _ stricto , Faecalicoccus , and Staphylococcus , while many genera others exhibited a decreasing trend ( P < 0.05), including Sporosarcina , Oscillibacter , Peptoniphilus , Anaerobium , unclassified Sporobacter , Amphibacillus , Faecalicatena , and Butyrivibrio ( Figure 3 and Supplementary Data 2 ).

During optogenetic stimulation of the VC, the MGB response exhibited an increasing trend (p < 0.05 for paired Student’s t test but does not pass Holm-Bonferroni correction; Supplementary Figure S7 ), suggesting a possibility that VC co-modulates auditory processing at multiple stages immediately prior to the cortex.

In addition, with the increase of Fe-BC application amount, soil organic matter content showed an increasing trend, and there were notable variations between the groups that received different treatments ( P < 0.05).

However, after 30 d, the ADG of the 3 test groups showed an increasing trend, and far surpassed that of the control group ( P < 0.05).

SGPT/ALT levels showed an increasing trend for all groups in the middle of the experiment ( p < 0.05 for ND group) but decreased at the end (vs.baseline), apart from the CD + Col group that preserved the non statistically significant increase.

All microorganism groups exhibited an increasing trend ( figure 2 ), although this was only marginal for S. aureus (from 28 to 29 per 100 000, p=0.05) .

The CAT activity of the chickens in the BL group displayed an increasing trend ( P > 0.05) but did not differ from the NC and PC groups ( P > 0.05).

BMI also showed an increasing trend with age, with geographical differences (all P < 0.05; Figures 1 – 2 ).

4 8–16 However, we found only an increasing trend of diabetes development in the elderly population and subjects with a family history of diabetes (p>0.05).

Peak mean planulae density (±SE) was 13.29 cm -2 (±3.71), 14.95 cm -2 (±5.26) and 17.49 cm -2 (±6.00) at shallow, mid-depth and mesophotic sites, respectively, and were not significantly different despite an increasing trend with depth (one-way ANOVA, p > 0.05).

The incidence of referred cases and positive phosphine test cases showed an increasing trend ( P < 0.05) from 2006 to 2013 per 1 million of Tehran population (Figure 3 ).

The root exudates from the infected samples did not show any significant differences in TOC concentration at 400–450 ppm of CO 2 ; conversely, an increasing trend of TOC concentration was registered when the temperature and CO 2 level were increased (P < 0.05).

Soluble protein Levels of soluble protein varied between 19.3 and 24.9 μg per individual and showed an increasing trend up to 48 hpf when the protein level was significantly higher than at 0 hpf (p < 0.05, Fig 1A ).

NEIL2 showed an increasing trend after MCAO without significant difference among groups ( P > 0.05).
