Sentence examples for main physiological pathways from inspiring English sources

In order to characterize the main physiological pathways underlying genes harboring footprints of positive selection we carried out a network analysis under a systems biology framework (see Methods).

In this study, we performed a whole genome scan for differentiation using 42,486 SNPs in the three major French dairy cattle breeds (Holstein, Normande and Montbéliarde) to identify the main physiological pathways and regions which were affected by this selection.

The main physiological pathways which differed between D to W-type groups were found in transport, response to stimulus, cell/tissue structure and development, metabolism (combined metabolic pathways) and protein synthesis (in Figure  7b only mRNAs commonly affected in Wa and Ws are shown).

Finally, based on a list of several genes displaying high evidence of selection, we further carried out a detailed and comprehensive functional and network analysis, under a systems biology framework, to characterize the main targeted physiological pathways.

The rationale behind this thinking is that (i) photosynthesis is the main physiological process associated with the DMA pathway, (ii) deficient Fe-uptake, mediated by the NAS and NAAT genes, results in impaired photosynthesis and (iii) impaired photosynthesis leads to leaf chlorosis and ultimately to leaf senescence.

Activation of the classical complement pathway is considered one of the main physiological functions of CRP.

Their main physiological function is energy production by the oxidative phosphorylation pathway.

The main goal of our investigation was to use large-scale gene expression profiling to study a range of physiological pathways related to abiotic and physiological events occurring across large temporal scales (annual cycle) in a natural population of an ecologically relevant species, the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Figure 1).

The physiological pathways responsible have remained obscure, and the search for an underlying mechanism has moved slowly.

Their reaction with food goes on to direct physiological pathways and hormonal release around the rest of the body, including energy release and storage, thus affecting our weight.

Caffeine, sports drinks, and blood buffers, for instance, all produce one- to three-per-cent improvements in performance through well-understood physiological pathways.
