The phrase "altered coat" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a coat that has been changed or modified in some way, such as through alterations for fit or style.
Example: "After visiting the tailor, I finally got my altered coat back, and it fits perfectly now."
Alternatives: "modified coat" or "adjusted coat".
In this study, Dolinoy et al. revealed that fetal exposure to genistein in Avy mice modified the methylation state of this IAP resulting in altered coat color and in decreased prevalence of adult obesity [31] thus demonstrating that genistein actions in utero can lead to methylation changes with phenotypic consequences.
Maternal genistein diet of agouti mice during pregnancy was found to have long-term effects on offspring and altered coat colour due to epigenetic modulation.
Together, the findings that ethanol exposure can alter DNA methylation at the Agouti locus and elicit an associated phenotype (i.e., altered coat color), suggests that other epigenetic targets and associated gene expression also may be disrupted and may be responsible for the occurrence of a phenotype that corresponds to FAS in humans.
In specific, from the high temperature test it was found that by increasing the number of layers, the TRM effectiveness was considerably enhanced and the failure mode was altered; coating enhanced the TRM effectiveness; and the end-anchorage at high temperature improved significantly the FRP and marginally the TRM effectiveness.
One example of this is the Agouti mouse in which exposure to genistein during pregnancy leads to changes in gene expression that alters coat color of the offspring.
For inclination angles of inner surface lower than the inclination angles of wires, HSZ is formed in front of the electric arc, causing the decrease of particles temperature and velocity, thus altering coating properties.
Methyl donor supplementation of pregnant females via folic acid, vitamin B12, choline, or betaine altered the coat color in the offspring toward the repressed state (pseudoagouti) by causing hypermethylation of the A vy allele (Waterland & Jirtle 2003).
The simplest explanation for these observations is that ubiquitin attachment to SEC31 results in a structural change in the COPII cage that alters coat flexibility, and allows procollagen to be encapsulated in a nascent vesicle (Fig. 1b).
The winner of the 2011 EHP Classic Paper of the Year was "Maternal Genistein Alters Coat Color and Protects A vy Mouse Offspring from Obesity by Modifying the Fetal Epigenome" by Dana C. Dolinoy, Jennifer R. Weidman, Robert A. Waterland, and Randy Jirtle.
Recently, HBD1 and 3 have been shown to be able to bind to melanocortin receptor 1 and overexpression of the dog orthologue of HBD3 in mice alters coat colour 7. Despite considerable sequence variation between β-defensin peptides, the topology of the β-defensin structure has been reported to be similar and stabilised by the three intramolecular disulphide bonds 8.
Since the properties of iron oxide nanoparticles solely depend on the number of unpaired electrons and particle size in the presence and absence of magnetic field, it can be altered by coating them with polymers and by applying external magnetic field.
