Our basic model was adjusted for child age at examination (model 1) and subsequently adjusted for maternal prepregnancy BMI (model 2), gestational weight gain and paternal BMI (model 3), and maternal race/ethnicity, age, education, and parity and smoking during pregnancy, marital status, and household income (model 4: final model).
In addition to weight at the time of examination, basic models for young children included age at examination and a variable indicating the examiner.
An examination of the model for inactive procaspase-3 shows two features of the protein that may be involved in maintaining the inactive conformer.
In spite of the limitation due to the small number of cases, our observational study has delivered proof of concept for our examination and treatment model for benign thyroid disease.
The distinctive sequence diversity in this repeat pattern, its demonstrated expression in two known surface membrane proteins, and the prospect that the coding sequence is disseminated horizontally prompted its further examination as a model for the acquisition of a versatile coding module contributing to proteomic diversity.
The human working memory system provides an experimentally useful model for examination of neural overload effects on subsequent functioning of the overloaded system.
Taken together, these data illustrate the importance of fully characterizing and using all genomic information to select the appropriate model for examination.
The rat can thus be used as a model for examination of neural mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of MPH on executive functions in humans.
For evaluation of tumor xenograft formation, we transplanted the adherent-growing cultures on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized chicken eggs, because this method has been recently described as a promising in vivo model for examination of GCTB.
The fly neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is an excellent model for examination of genes involved in synapse formation, function and regulation (Bellen and Budnik, 2000), but can also be used to examine the effects post-synaptic defects in larval muscle on neurophysiology.
