Only the 5000 ppm TCA treatment within the promotion protocol resulted in a significant, although minor, stimulation of peroxisomal enzyme activity.
Given that a life of extreme austerity makes even the most minor stimulation feel overwhelmingly great, it's impossible to imagine how tight a night of feasting and light boozing must have been for people who had just spent 66 days on a boat and then thought they were going to starve to death when they arrived in the New World.
Others have posited that the minor stimulation of acupuncture selectively acts on impulse transmission to the central nervous system, thus closing certain neurological "gates" and blocking the transmission of pain impulses from other parts of the body.
38 Kindling is the process by which repeated minor stimulations (electrical or chemical) of the brain are associated with epileptogenesis and the onset of mood disturbances.
The sonogram comparison between the chewing-gum stimulation and non-stimulation demonstrated a minor increase of blood flow for the gum base-stimulated salivary glands.
In addition to the Comet assay, the cell samples were analysed by a cytochalasin-blocked MN test (Fenech and Morley, 1985a) with a minor modification concerning mitogen stimulation.
Thus, we expect that the buffer conditions used for the single molecule experiments had only a minor influence on diVCA stimulation of branch formation by Arp2/3 complex.
While 0.3 mM ATP led to a minor increase of the FSC, stimulation with 3 mM ATP induced the formation of a 2nd population with increased SSC and smaller cell bodies.
In vivo we do not observe dramatic changes of mTOR signalling in Vps15-deficient MEFs and skeletal muscles, as growth factor stimulation is modestly reduced while nutrient stimulation leads to a minor up-regulation (Figs. Fig. 4 and Fig. 5B; Supporting Information Fig. 5).
Using the non-stimulation images as reference, a minor increase of blood flow was observed under chewing-gum stimulation but a notable increase of the blood flow was seen under lemon-juice stimulation.
Our results experimentally confirmed the theoretical model of synaptic plasticity originally postulated by Bienenstock, Cooper, and Munro (BCM) [23]; HFS leads to LTP, intermediate frequency stimulation produces only a minor or no change in synaptic strength, and LFS produces LTD.
