Alternatives: "a reduced sensitivity" or "a diminished sensitivity".
Israel, he said, has a lower "level of sensitivity" when it comes to racial profiling with laws that allow more scrutiny of a young Palestinian man than an elderly Holocaust survivor.
A lower level of sensitivity (70%) of POCT was preferred over a medium level of sensitivity (80%) if it had low cost ($20) and fast turn-over-time (5 minutes) (Appendix S1 Section "Build your own test" – Question 3) or if it had a high level of specificity (99%) and low cost (Appendix S1 Section "Build your own test" – Question 4).
This diversity could be producing a lower level of sensitivity in the serologic assays for these infections.
This phenomenon has been partly attributed to a lower level of sensitivity to illness among the vulnerable groups most affected by ill-health.
In the present study of women with normal glucose tolerance, pregnant women had a higher β-cell response and a lower level of insulin sensitivity.
This factor IX inhibitor was present at a clinically low titer of <1 unit in the factor IX Bethesda assay and a concentration of 0.1 μg/ml IgG; each of these values is at the lower level of sensitivity of the assay.
The lower level of sensitivity for the ELISAs were 156 pg/ml for MMP-1 and -7, 78 pg/ml for MMP-2 and -10, and 31 pg/ml for MMP-3, -8, -9, TIMP-1, -2 and -4.
The results of this analysis were helpful to validate the reproducibility of each array at baseline, allowing us to define the lower level of sensitivity sufficient to identify small changes in biologically relevant genes.
To further verify hRad18 regulation of FANCD2, we tested whether the deficient monoubiquitination of FANCD2 triggered by a lower level of hRad18 expression also confers similar cell sensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents as the one triggered by deficient FA genes.
Supplementary analyses showed that women in the first quintile of insulin secretion (HOMA2-%B ≤55.3%) were more likely to have higher levels of fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity and a lower level of insulin than other women (data not shown but available upon request).
