For example, the Th2 cytokine-biasing response of OCH9 has been attributed to its reduced ability to transactivate NK cells, which are responsible for a significant proportion of the IFN-γ produced after glycolipid stimulation.
They attributed the highest digestibility rates (approximately 10-fold compared to the starting cellulose I) obtained for amorphous cellulose to its four-fold higher gross specific surface area compared to the starting cellulose I. Additionally, the enhanced digestibility rate of IIII was attributed to its reduced crystallinity and the difference in the lattice structures of cellulose I and IIII.
The lower rate is consistent with the lower basicity of 1,4-dioxane (p KaH=−2.92 in aqueous H2SO4),[ 22], [ 26] but may also partially be attributed to its reduced polarity relative to THF (εdioxane=2.22, εTHF=7.52),[ 11] which will make cleavage of H2 into ionic H+/H− adducts less favorable (Scheme 3, route a).
Public health experts said fiber might nonetheless play another role long attributed to it: reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Recent studies indicated that the topical FP-receptor agonists, tafluprost or latanoprost, might significantly increase the blood velocity and blood flow in the ipsilateral ONH both in glaucoma patients and normal volunteers, which cannot be attributed to its IOP reducing effect [ 80– 82].
The mechanism by which ascorbate enhances gel strength was thought to be attributed to its role in reducing the ferric iron to ferrous iron.
The MPCT reduction of ECT is mostly attributed to its capability to reduce remote processing, which could seriously impair the MPCT performance.
Catechins' beneficial effects are attributed to its ability to reduce oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, free radical generation and unhealthy low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-oxidation [ 36].
These results suggest that the protective role of magnesium in nickel-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity can be attributed to its ability to reduce either the intracellular nickel concentration or reactive oxygen formation.
Based on the results of this study, the hepatoprotective effect of BHE is attributed to its ability to reduce the rate of lipid peroxidation, to enhance the antioxidant defense status, and to guard against the pathological changes of the liver induced by CCl4 intoxication.
