The phrase "animals may be mediated" is grammatically correct but may not convey a clear meaning without context.
It can be used in discussions about the interaction or influence of external factors on animals, such as in studies of animal behavior or ecology.
Example: "In certain environments, animals may be mediated by their interactions with human activities, affecting their natural behaviors."
Alternatives: "animals may be influenced" or "animals may be affected".
21 Considerable evidence, both in humans and experimental animals, suggests that anorexia may be mediated by an increased serotonergic activity in the brain.
The hormonal form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(or)2D) or its analogs have anti-cancer effects in cancer cells or animal tumor models that may be mediated through multiple mechanisms including inducing growth arrest, promoting cell differentiation, lowering apoptotic thresholds, and suppressing angiogenesis or metastasis (for current review see [ 4]).
Although we did not further address the serotonin responsiveness of hlh-17 (ns204 ) animals, this result suggested that some ability of hlh-17 (ns204 ) animals to respond to exogenous dopamine may be mediated by the binding of the neurotransmitter to other non-dopaminergic receptors.
Fibrocyte influx to the lung in the bleomycin model has also been linked to the CCL3-CCR5 chemokine axis; interestingly, this effect was associated with reduced lung expression of lung CXCL12 expression in the lungs of CCL3- and CCR5-deficient animals, suggesting that the effect of CCL3-CCR5 may be mediated via the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis [ 33].
In addition, there is some evidence, mostly from animal studies, that exercise-induced brain changes may be mediated by neurotrophins (proteins that play a role in neurone development), such as, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [ 19].
Taken together, our results suggest that neither acetylcholine release nor acetylcholine reception is compromised in hlh-17 (ns204 ) animals, and that the resistance to reserpine and fluoxetine may be mediated through other genes in the HLH-17 transcriptional network.
Conclusions from animal studies strongly suggest that vitamin D's proposed reno-protective properties may be mediated by suppression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) [ 5- 7].
More recent animal work has shown that maternally provided prenatal and postnatal environment effects on offspring may be mediated by non-inherited epigenetic mechanisms [ 30, 31].
This effect may be mediated by the escalation of the apoptotic cell death pathway in the immature animal.
His new novel, though it may be mediated by these technological miracles, is set at a distance from them.
