These three changes affect population diets, and raise concerns about undernutrition, obesity and non-communicable diseases, by altering the local availability, nutritional quality, price and desirability of foods [ 2, 4, 5].
Transcription factors respond to a change in the cellular environment by binding or unbinding from DNA, thus altering the availability of a given gene for transcription.
Along with macronutrients, humans are altering the availability of many micronutrients, such as sodium and calcium.
Predicted variability in temperatures and the amount and intensity of rainfall in East Africa have the potential to directly impact livestock productivity by altering the quality and availability of water and pasture (Thornton et al. 2009).
Invading CTBs respond to this increased oxygen availability by altering the expression of various cell adhesion molecules and proteases, promoting further migration.
In addition to regulating the concentration of FA available for β-oxidation, such activity also facilitates passive transport mechanisms by altering the gradient of fatty acid availability inside the cell, a process known as vectorial acylation (Black & DiRusso, 2007).
Forest fires are known to severely pertubate the nutrient budgets of forested ecosystems by altering the distribution, element species composition and availability of organic matter and associated nutrients.
Conditioning layers assist bacterial attachment to surfaces by altering the surface physicochemical properties and attracting the bacteria to the surface due to the increased nutrient availability (18, 19).
By altering the phase and amplitude, each "neuron" is tunable.
