The increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis in the United States is likely attributable, at least partly, to the aging population and concurrent increases in overweight and obesity (Bitton 2009).
He says he believes his job offer from Brian Burke, the Maple Leafs' president, is attributable at least in part to the untimely deaths during the summer of the enforcers Derek Boogaard, Wade Belak and Rick Rypien.
In other words, there may be a large difference between the attributable costs at the start of the study and the avoidable costs during a set period [ 67, 68, 71].
Exposure to ambient air pollution is ubiquitous, and even if increased risks of adverse reproductive outcomes due to such exposures are relatively small, they can have a big impact measured in terms of attributable cases at the population level.
However, the decrease in GLA could be attributable, at least in part, to the competition between the Δ6 desaturases (responsible for GLA synthesis) and Δ15 desaturases (responsible for ALA synthesis) for their common substrate LA.
In this study, we have shown that alteration of the adipokine secretion profile as a result of obesity might be attributable, at least partially, to the decreased expression of PPARγ mediated by he epigenetic changes in the VAT.
The difference is presumably attributable, at least in part, to the difference in care and quality of work associated with the AER's current policy of data availability.
We speculate that these effects of GSSG are attributable, at least partly, to the anti-aging action of GSH, because GSSG is converted to GSH in the skin.
Mean BMI z-scores did not differ between those of children of heavy- and light-smoking mothers during pregnancy at respective ages (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 13 years) (data not shown), but this may have been attributable at least partly to the small number of heavy-smoking mothers.
The more pronounced increase in α-syn expression in the SN and striatum (60 80%) than in the whole brain (28%; Figure 2A) of LPS-challenged Tg mice may be attributable, at least partially, to the high density of microglia (Kim et al. 2000) and more marked inflammatory responses in these brain regions.
