However, it is interesting to note that in this case, attenuation of stress responses also extended to capture/restraint protocols, and adrenal responsiveness to ACTH injections appeared blunted in birds from HD areas [ 20].
In contrast to the radius, neither trabecular nor cortical BMD declined with age in the tibia of HBM cases, suggesting attenuation of age-related bone loss in weight-bearing limbs contributes to the observed bone phenotype.
Another possibility is that melatonin is taken up into the Daphnia's body, in which case the attenuation of stress responses observed here should be accompanied by changes at the molecular level.
Furthermore, imprecision in the exposure variable is likely to cause attenuation in the risk estimation, in this case attenuation towards the null of the estimated associations between organic food practices and pre-eclampsia.
For many cases, the attenuations of the measured noise exceed the level of 15 dB, with maximum reduction reaching 31 dB.
Comparing (18) with (11), since, it can be seen that while the fixed beamformer preserves the desired source in the unquantized case, there is attenuation of the desired source in the quantized case.
The activation of voltage-gated channels is expected to be less robust in the case of strong attenuation of the passive spread of voltage which might explain the results in [30].
In case of substantial attenuation of the inflammatory stimulus of the polymer surface it is conceivable that even smaller pores may be filled by local physiological tissues instead of getting filled up just by scar fibrosis.
This was also the case with the attenuation of endothelium-dependent vessel recruitment, which in this study, was not significantly different from controls.
The use of sister controls in case-control studies of PMD resulted in a modest attenuation of case-control differences and risk estimates, but showed a statistically significant association with risk and allowed control for race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status and family history.
