On the basis of these observations, the increase in A1C levels in late pregnancy seems to be mainly attributable to an iron-deficient status at this period.
When paired with the T cell adoptive transfer studies described above, these findings suggest that the CD-like ileitis observed in SHIP-deficient mice is not attributable to an autoimmune attack by SHIP-deficient T cells.
Almost all forms of MODY are attributable to mutations that result in deficient insulin release and are not associated with insulin resistance.
In order to confirm that the respiratory deficiency was attributable to the mt-tRNAval mutation, we transfected the respiratory deficient T1 line with VARS2 (designating it T1V1) and monitored growth on galactose.

This study indicates that worsened outcome from MCAO of apoE-deficient mice is not attributable to any detectable vascular effects and offers validity to use of apoE-deficient mice for study of apoE as a factor in cerebral ischemic pathophysiology.
Although this finding indicates that Fbxw7 and p53 cooperatively suppress intestinal cancer, similar to their cooperativity apparent in bone marrow, it remains to be determined whether the phenotypes of the Fbxw7-deficient intestine are attributable to the effects of Fbxw7 ablation on ISCs.
