Our measurements with dopamine confirmed this: dopamine's effects on the spatial tuning of ganglion cells could not have been mediated by a change in horizontal cell coupling since dopamine led to the same shift in spatial tuning in Cx57-deficient mice as in wild type, at least under photopic conditions (Fig. 5).
If it is accepted that pumping of water was indeed an active process, then the alternating dilation and contraction most likely would have been mediated by a musculature.
It is plausible that the cost differences associated with SS participation may have been mediated by a direct effect of regular exercise on improved cardiometabolic risk factor control (7) and fewer hospital admissions for acute hyperglycemic and cardiovascular complications.
Thus, it was concluded that hyper selection for reproductive longevity and average prolificacy successfully delayed reproductive senescence, and that this newly founded line showed less environmental sensitivity, which might have been mediated by a higher body reserve.
Moreover, the observed effect of hepcidin on the development on anemia may have been mediated by a direct inhibitory effect on erythropoiesis, rather than by blocking iron transport to the bone marrow by sequestration.
In contrast to the results of the original analysis, in this final analysis the time × group interaction failed to reach significance [ F 1,53) = 3.58, p = 0.064, partial η = 0.06], suggesting that the effect of the intervention may have been mediated by a change in general mindfulness [ 37].
