However, early hypercoagulability has also been associated with decreased early mortality, which may suggest that hypercoagulability is a functional response in order to reduce blood loss [ 9].
In the current study, acceptance results reflected self-affirmation, typically considered to be a functional coping response, as accepting the reality of a situation implies a certain attempt to deal with that situation.
Our results indicate that GCR2 is unlikely to be a functional ABA receptor mediating ABA responses in seed germination and early seedling development.
The importance of a multi-professional primary care team which allows roles to be defined in a functional response to the needs of the community is emerging.
We examined whether this site was a functional FXR response element (FXRE) by using conventional ChIP assays in the liver of mice treated with FXR ligands (CA and GW4064).
Such modification was consistent with a functional response in resource selection; elk response to human activity changed as a function of availability and with time of day.
Despite of a generally high degree of cell type specificity, there appears to be a common functional response, which is conserved across cell types and species (i.e. mouse and human).
Different functions could explain our results, considering that syndecan-4 appears to be a requirement for a functional response for proliferation that may be mediated by FGFs, being coexpressed with this growth factor in satellite cells [ 44].
For example, we avoided the need for the kind of 2-stage fitting process that has previously been used to decide whether a functional response should be considered sigmoidal [38], because we represent uncertainty about the form of the functional response explicitly by the posterior distribution of the parameter m.
We conclude that signaling through the TCRζ chain alone is not sufficient to generate downstream events leading to full T-cell activation or thymocyte selection; instead, additional CD3 components must be required to induce a functional response in primary thymocytes and peripheral T cells.
