For example, there was a low inverse correlation between both versions of β-carotene and γ-tocopherol (ρ = −0.2); however, we observed high correlation between cis-β-carotene and trans-β-carotene (ρ = 0.96).
A study in Finland, however, found no relationship between asthma attacks and pollen or meteorological factors except for temperature, which had a low inverse correlation with asthma attacks, and air pollutants, specifically NO2, SO2, TSP (Total Suspended Particles) and H2S (hydrogen sulfide), were significantly correlated with asthma attacks (Rossi et al., 1993).
Examination of item correlation to total and subscale scores on the attitude domain demonstrated low or inverse correlations for four items (Item 5: tries to influence others in order to maintain control of his/her life; Item 12: is submissive; Item 27: patterns of behaviors you can foresee; and Item 19: has little control over his/her difficult behavior) (data not shown).
In obese individuals, ADIPO serum levels are frequently low and show an inverse correlation with AVF, but not with BMI or subcutaneous fat deposits [ 19, 20].
We also found a significant difference between the metabolic ratio of SN-38 between arms A and B, and B and C. A low, but very significant inverse correlation between dose and metabolic ratio of SN-38 was observed for arms A, B and C. A possible explanation for this change in metabolic ratio is saturation of the carboxylesterase reaction.
Although the frequencies of both CD1a- and CD83-positive cells were low, we observed an inverse correlation between GM3 expression and infiltrating mature DCs, in keeping with previous reports, which showed that GM3 inhibited DC differentiation, maturation and migration [ 10, 11, 13].
Integration of gene expression with methylation data over BC cell lines revealed a group of CpG islands corresponding to genes within the Claudin-low signature, showing an inverse correlation between their methylation and the genes expression in BC cell lines and BCs [ 38].
We further observed an inverse correlation between low ANXA10 expression and high p53 expression.
There were significant inverse correlation between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol levels and flow-mediated dilation percent (r=−0.342, P=0.009 and r=−0.356, P=0.006, respectively).
However, the relatively low As concentration and the close inverse correlation between As, Fe and SO42− show that Fe(III) and SO42− reduction accompanied by the formation of Fe sulfide precipitates, retains As during the non-irrigation periods.
There is some evidence for an inverse correlation between a low number of removed axillary lymph nodes (often <10) and overall survival [ 4- 10], which is controversially discussed [ 11- 13].
