3) can this type of early manipulation act as an enhancer of individual differences, so that it can reveal mechanisms of genetic control of sensitivity to the environment?
We hypothesized that early interference with infant-mother interaction could moderate the interspecific trait of response to CO2 through genetic control of sensitivity to the environment.
This indicates that mechanisms of genetic control of sensitivity to the environment are operant here, in the absence of the gene-environment correlations that often complicate the interpretation of heritability variation in man [20], [57].
The significant difference between the RCFfs/hsVa and the CTfs/hsVa for ΔTV% response to 6% CO2-enriched air, and the sizable increase in heritability, indicate the presence of genetic control of sensitivity to the environment [53] evoked by the RCF procedure.
This developmental control of sensitivity to ethanol is interesting, because it suggests that alcohol modulation of plasticity and circuitry is dynamic.
Genotype-environment interaction (G×E) refers to the genetic control of sensitivity or susceptibility to differences in the environment (Eaves 1984; Mather and Jinks 1977; Falconer and Mackay 1996; Boomsma and Martin 2002).
In order to understand how BAPN improves insulin sensitivity in obese animals, we analysed the levels of proteins involved in the control of insulin sensitivity in epididymal adipose tissue.
Control of agents' sensitivity, biosafety and functionality is key to the successful applications.
In humans, a role for the SCN in the control of insulin sensitivity is suggested by misalignment protocols demonstrating the endogenous circadian control of glucose tolerance, independent of behavioural rhythms14,32.
Coles, N. D., McMullen, M. D., Balint-Kurti, P. J., Pratt, R. C. & Holland, J. B. Genetic control of photoperiod sensitivity in maize revealed by joint multiple population analysis.
The control of "luteolytic sensitivity" (LS) of the pig CL to PGF-2 □ is unknown, but it is temporally associated with macrophage infiltration into the CL.
