However, baseline Isc was significantly decreased in the colon of young adult Hnf4α null mice as compared to controls demonstrating that a decrease in active epithelial ion transport in absence of Hnf4α was taking place before the onset of the disease (Figure 5G).
In accord with previous reports demonstrating that a decrease in serum K level during the acute phase of ACS increases the risk of cardiovascular events [ 1, 3- 7], we found in the present study that more severe ischemia was observed in patients with a lower K level on admission (Table 5).
The Nigerian study demonstrated that a decreased awareness of contraceptives in rural areas than in urban [ 14].
Crookes and colleagues demonstrated that a decreased thenar muscle tissue oxygen saturation may reflect the presence of severe hypoperfusion (shock) in trauma patients better than traditional hemodynamic parameters [ 1].
Two studies that together included approximately 90 recurrent glioblastoma patients treated with bevacizumab plus irinotecan demonstrated that a decreased plasma protein level of VEGF, measured, respectively, eight weeks and 15 days after the start of the treatment, was associated with improved PFS and OS [ 46, 165].
Using this KD-RON2IL/AA mutant, we demonstrated that a decrease in the binding affinity of AMA1 RON2 correlates with a decreased capacity of the parasite to intimately engage the host cell.
A sensitivity study demonstrated that a decrease in the material cost for the containment system could significantly increase the breakeven shipping distance.
The study demonstrates that a decrease of the delta phase layer with respect to the zeta phase layer improves crack resistance of the coating layers.
The present study demonstrates that a decrease in the amplitude of GABAergic mIPSC during development may result from a decrease in the GABA contents of synaptic vesicles and from changes in the kinetics of postsynaptic GABA-activated Cl− channels.
Finally, it was demonstrated that a decrease in the nominal diameter increased dispersion and reduced the plug flow ratio; however, the retention times obtained were closer to those of the ideal plug flow system.
