Similarly, MK801 had less protective effect on normotensive and hypotensive CBF values post FPI in the juvenile.
The inhibitors of ERK, JNK, and p38 all showed a more or less protective effect on Cd2+ toxicity.
In our study, simvastatin, a highly lipophilic statin, demonstrated less protective effects than atorvastatin, a lesser lipophilic statin.
The difference may be due to a less pronounced protective effect of reproductive factors in the Indians.
A less pronounced protective effect of a second child subsequent to a late first birth has been reported by others (MacMahon et al, 1982; Trichopoulos et al, 1983, Decarli et al, 1996).
Our results also give some support to previous findings [ 3, 7] of a less pronounced protective effect of parity in relation to medullary tumors, perhaps even an association in the opposite direction.
In contrast, the proportion of Paget disease was significantly greater in women of high parity, with a significant increasing trend when contrasting to ductal tumors, indicating a less pronounced protective effect of parity in relation to Paget disease.
It is noteworthy that the odds ratio confidence interval at Arg381Gln for UC (0.73 [95% CI, 0.55 0.96]) does not overlap with that for CD (0.38 [95% CI, 0.29 0.50]), suggesting a significantly less marked protective effect of the rare allele for UC compared with CD.
Children sleeping under an ITN with small holes (smaller than could fit a D sized torch battery, the second best case) also had reduced odds of infection but the protective effect was less for those sleeping under ITNs with larger holes (tables 4 and 5).
There was reduced odds of infection with P.falciparum in children sleeping under ITNs that were intact (Odds ratio (OR): 0.65, 95% CI: 0.55 0.77 and OR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.56 1.18 in Equatorial Guinea and in Malawi respectively), but the protective effect became less with increasingly worse condition of the net.
