Collectively, results of the present study showed that MenSCs could improve indices of follicular growth and maturation in vitro.
We hypothesized that a single dose of cranberry beverage would improve indices of oxidative stress, inflammation, and urinary antibacterial adhesion activity in healthy humans.
Since we have shown that Vectashield could be diluted in Glycerol and still induce blinking, we further tested its properties when mixing with two different solvents to improve index-matching: PBS and Thiodiglycol (2,2-thiodiethanol or TDE).
Interestingly, regular aerobic exercise training has been shown to improve indices of CV health (i.e., HR variability) in various CV disease (CVD) populations [ 16– 20].
NBO has also been shown to decrease intracranial pressure and improve indices of brain oxidative metabolism in patients with severe head injury [ 13].
The consumption of a low-calorie, but nutritionally sufficient, diet has been found to improve indices of disease risk in humans, and has been studied as an intervention that increases lifespan in mice of most genetic backgrounds.
3 Although sensitive search strategies have been developed to identify systematic reviews, 22 inclusion of the terms systematic review or meta-analysis in the title may improve indexing and identification.
Among adults, interventions targeting depressive symptoms among adults with type 2 diabetes and/or major depression have been shown to improve indices of glucose impairment or insulin resistance even without altering body weight or adiposity (1).
This suggestion is in agreement with studies which have found yoga to improve indices associated with metabolic fitness such as insulin resistance [ 66, 67] and lipid profiles [ 68, 69].
Using the same methods as in this paper, the DPP-4 inhibitors vildagliptin and sitagliptin [ 24, 25] and the GLP-1 receptor agonists liraglutide and exenatide [ 26, 27] have all been previously shown to improve indices of beta cell function.
