Using samples of undergraduate students, we found that both a natural (Study 1) and a laboratory-induced sad mood (Studies 2 and 3) generated a marked decrease in sensitivity to reward but did not alter sensitivity to punishment.
In contrast to TRAIL, TAK1 deletion did not alter sensitivity to killing by FasL (Fig. S1).
A subset of genes identified as downregulated (ALDH1A3, ANXA1, TLR4 and RAB5A) or upregulated (COX6A1, NFIX, ME1, MAPK and TAP2) were validated by siRNA in the tolerant or parental cells to alter sensitivity to PPP and confirmed to alter sensitivity to PPP in further cell lines.
Since intrauterine position (IUP) has been shown to alter sensitivity to endocrine disruptors, we also investigated whether the combination of IUP and fetal exposure to dietary phytoestrogens could potentially affect adult metabolic parameters.
Likewise, direct measurement of gamma transcript levels were significantly reduced in animals expressing the gamma RNAi element as compared to animals with wild-type AMPK function (Figure S3) Having validated that these genetic strategies were producing phenotypes consistent with reduced AMPK activity, we then asked whether attenuated AMPK function would alter sensitivity to metabolic challenges.
Furthermore, siRNA against ApoL2 did not alter sensitivity to a variety of death stimuli.
Some of these B6-sensitive substitutions also had altered sensitivity to limiting heme, another CBS cofactor.
TOP2A alterations may contribute to pathogenesis in HER2+ breast carcinomas by altering sensitivity to anthracyclines [ 31].
An Rv3371 deletion mutant of Mtb showed impaired non-replicating persistence in vitro and altered sensitivity to anti-mycobacterial drugs.
To determine if mGluR5 KO or Het mice had altered sensitivity to the conditioned reinforcing effects of a psychostimulant, we performed cocaine place conditioning experiments.
Patients suffer a wide range of symptoms that include gastrointestinal dysfunction, vomiting crises, recurrent pneumonia, altered sensitivity to pain and to temperature perception, and cardiovascular instability [1].
