In addition, the association with sperm concentration and total sperm count suggests an effect of PFOA on Sertoli cell development; proliferation of Sertoli cells in utero is a determinant for spermatozoa development later in life (Sharpe et al. 2003), but the exact mechanism remains unclear.
Recently, Ohno et al. showed that PPAR-γ ligands, coupled with PRDM16 (a determinant for the development of BAT), could switch subcutaneous white adipose cells to a BAT programme (Ohno et al., 2012).
No difference in the risk of sequelae was assumed between those who received prophylaxis and those who did not, as the RSV hospitalisation was a sole determinant for development of respiratory sequelae.
Although just one particular simulation, what is critical is that co-evolutionary behavior results in path dependence of economic and cultural change as well as being a key determinant for development outcomes.
It is clear that HLA-DRB1*04, as well as other SE alleles, do not represent a single determinant for development of autoimmune responses.
Introduction: Influenza A (H1N1 pdm09 pandemic was a determinant event for development of modern extracorporeal life support techniques.
As biofilm ultimately develops on all of these devices, the major determinant for development of bacteriuria is duration of catheterization.
Resource availability is a critical determinant for inflorescence development and plant individuals must reach a critical size to initiate flowering in many herbaceous species (Sugiyama and Bazzaz 1998).
In fact, studies with genetically engineered mice have revealed that the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a major determinant for the development of obesity.
Thus, although neutrophil recruitment prevents the systemic spread of the infection, it might nevertheless be a key determinant for the development of gastroenteritis.
