Many urban areas are experiencing an increase in the number of trucks and vans delivering goods to retailers as well as a decrease in the utilisation of delivery vehicles.
The increasing risk of cardiovascular disease with rosiglitazone led to a decrease in the utilisation patterns, in the US [ 24, 25] and some countries in Europe [ 26, 27].
The excessive glycogen storage and formation of abnormal polysaccharide in PSSM horses therefore appears to reflect an increase in glycogen synthesis rather than a decrease in its utilisation [ 3].
A decrease in glucose utilisation by the brain and several other tissues has been detected in tumour-bearing animals along with increased use of lactate and 3-hydroxybutyrate, which can stimulate pyruvate carboxylation, suggesting that ketone bodies may be utilised as a metabolic fuel during the cancer-bearing state (Siess, 1985; Mulligan and Tisdale, 1991).
While the classical hypothesis in the regulation of feed intake is that a decrease in glucose utilisation registered by specific sensors in the brain leads to hunger, it has also been shown that lipids have an important role through their provision of energy for cell metabolism [ 53].
In the South Kivu health zones in particular, episodes of conflict and displacement occurred periodically between 2008 and 2012, which would have been expected to lead to a concomitant decrease in utilisation rates.

It is hypothesised that a positive change in self-efficacy would result in an increase in health status and a decrease in health service utilisation [ 22].
Increasing ligand density from 0.103 to 0.202 μmol/mL resulted in the same utilisation yield (82 85%), whereas a further increase in ligand density from 0.202 to 0.328 μmol/mL resulted in a 20%-unit decrease in utilisation yield and less steep breakthrough curve, suggesting steric hindrance in the pores of the resin.
Drug safety warnings were associated with a decrease in rosiglitazone and pioglitazone utilisation in Australia.
