Thus, although folic acid supplementation seemed to prevent the induction of an altered phenotype and epigenotype, this intervention may have induced a vulnerability in the regulation of this gene, and potentially of others.
Since critically ill patients, per se, seem to be at risk for neural damage, one might speculate that critical illness can induce a specific vulnerability of neurons to glucose deprivation.
Acute coronary events induce a dynamic increase of PCSK9 levels that may play a role in plaque vulnerability of both culprit and nonculprit coronary vessels.
Barred windows induce a shudder.
Harsh words induce a feeling of anxiety.
According to the sociodevelopmental model of Morgan et al. [ 3], the exposure to negative life events can impact on brain development (in particular on the dopaminergic system), as well as on personal sensitivity to stress, inducing a state of persistent vulnerability to psychosis (consisting of social bias, psychotic-like experiences and affective disorders).
Taken together however, developmental nicotine exposure appears to induce vulnerability during hypoxia and a potential inability to survive severe asphyxia.
Yet it soon became apparent that, instead of giving ordinary Americans a sense of security, this new paradigm induced an acute sense of vulnerability, which left many susceptible to demagogic fear mongering.
This factor might induce neointimal vulnerability by mobilizing smooth muscle progenitor cells during the early phase of vascular repair and it also accelerates reendothelialization, possibly via the mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells and the promotion of vascular healing after injury during the later phase.
Sugar overconsumption induces a developmental stage-specific chronic depression in reward processing that may contribute to an increase in the vulnerability to reward-related psychiatric disorders.
The expectation had induced a torpor.
