The greater proportion of moderate-to-high-risk patients classified by exercise duration of less than 30 minutes showed a trend for the effect of exercise; lack of significance may be due to the small sample size.

Pelagic turtles were much less selective in their feeding, though they showed a trend towards selectivity for rubber items such as balloons.

However, while mice on a normal diet showed a trend for a negative gene dose-dependent effect on fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance and cholesterol (with Dp11(1)/+ mice showing a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose, when compared to WT animals; Fig 7B ), high-fat diet treated animals showed a significant negative gene dose-dependent effect on glucose tolerance and cholesterol (glucose tolerance: F [2,65] = 3.196, p = 0.04; cholesterol: F [2,79] = 3.9, p = 0.02; Fig 7C and D and Fig S3 of Supporting Information).
