Frailty is a construct developed to characterize a state of reduced functional capacity in older adults.
After 17.5 h of incubation, the band at 1099 cm−1 (unsaturated fatty acid) was predominant, characterizing a state of membrane permeability, and this was more conspicuous in MMM medium (Fig. 9b) than in MM medium.
The presence of both marks of activation (me3K4H3) and repression (me3K27H3) has also been defined as "bivalent mark" [23], [24] and has been reported to characterize a state of transcriptional competence.
Abnormal serum TG levels may be found in advanced stages of HIV-1 infection and in individuals with a high degree of immunosuppression, thus characterizing a state of immune activation in ART-naïve individuals [ 30, 31].
The model is applied to the detailed analysis of boundary layer and pyrolysis gas flows within a porous carbon/phenolic ablator characterized in a state-of-the-art arc-jet test.
"Nervios" are characterized by a "state of bodily and mental unrest", which decreases the ability to achieve daily goals.
Obesity is characterized by a state of low-grade, chronic inflammation in addition to disturbed levels of circulating nutrients and metabolic hormones.
Both obesity and diabetes are characterized by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation with abnormal expression and production of multiple inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor and interleukins [5].
These observations suggest that the latent METH tolerant brain might be characterized by a state of decreased metabolism associated with suppressed neurotransmission because 18 of 21 genes involved in metabolism, neurotransmission and signal transduction were down-regulated by METH preconditioning alone.
Diabetes mellitus is a complex disease, defined as a set of abnormalities characterized by a state of sustained hyperglycemia.
