These qualitative differences between assays would translate into genuine consequent associations with outcomes.
That we observed surprise responses in primary (visual) perceptual regions has encouraged us to interpret this in terms of perceptual surprise, i.e., consequent from learned associations between the cue and the perceptual properties of the reward.
44 Regardless of the underlying mechanism, the consequent systemic host response would explain the association between periodontitis and systemic diseases reported by some studies, although results have not yet proved conclusive.
Such findings are consistent with (i) a prominent role played by the excitatory-inhibitory balance in the regulation of the stress response, and (ii) the documented association between chronic stress exposure with consequent dysfunctional regulation of the stress response and the subsequent development of psychopathology (Lupien et al., 2009; Franklin et al., 2012).
Studies have also shown a strong association between malaria infection in pregnancy and consequent maternal anaemia, and low birthweight in infants, particularly in women in their first or second pregnancy (Desai 2007; Steketee 2001).
Eribulin inhibits the growth phase of microtubule dynamics (Jordan et al, 2005), by binding to high affinity sites on microtubule plus ends (Smith et al, 2010), possibly resulting in maintenance of the association between Smad proteins and microtubules with consequent inhibition of Smad phosphorylation.
Our results of increased NPC1 levels in adipose tissue of obese subjects and the consequent normalization after weigh loss, as well as the association between NPC1 mRNA and fat cell size add impact on NPC1 function on visceral effects and support the concept of a metabolic function of NPC1 gene in adipose tissue.
That pattern indicates an association between the antecedent set (X) and the consequent set (Y), so that the occurrence of X implies the occurrence of Y. Two interesting measures, called support and confidence [10], are used to obtain and quantify association rules.
Our results demonstrate lack of recombination in the nuclear fragment, non-random association between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes and the consequent coevolution of both genomes, being an indirect evidence of apomixis.
However, the studies included in these reviews often had limited sample sizes, focused on nondiabetic individuals, and typically presented only average weight loss and the average reduction in risk factors, which did not allow a careful analysis of the association between specific magnitudes of weight loss and consequent improvements in CVD risk factors.
