The time course of the intravenous glucose infusion rate is shown in online appendix Fig. 2. As can be seen, the glucose infusion rate needed to maintain euglycemia gradually increased during the second half of the 6-h insulin delivery period and reached a peak value of 1.75 ± 0.31 mg · kg−1 · min−1 1 h after termination of insulin delivery.
Established during the colonial period, the network has been well maintained and gradually expanded since.
After 980, when the northern provinces were taken over by the Vietnamese and the Cham capital established at Binh Dinh in 1069, the kings maintained a gradually diminishing splendour.
Although Jasmine's convective bands continued to thin out, the cyclone maintained a gradually expanding eyewall and remained a compact system.
The cultures were thus continuously maintained under gradually increasing (doubling), sublethal concentrations of CpdA.
Data on any changes in patients' weight and FFMI in the months preceding this study would have been helpful to define the exact nature of the patients (muscle mass maintaining or gradually decreasing) that this data relates to.
As shown in Figure 4(a), the concentrations of the band in the Western blot of F- and G-actin had no significant variations at each time point after the experiment in Group A. The concentration in F-actin began to increase 2 h after the experiment in Group B and maintained a gradually increasing trend.
Strategies adopted by participants included: focusing upon the 'positive' aspects of life (n=41); adopting healthier lifestyles (n=8); maintaining or gradually increasing activity (n=29) as a way of getting life back to normal; returning to employment or voluntary work (n=20); and the use of psychosocial and complementary therapies (n=13).
PI and W/D had no significant variations at each time point after the experiment in Group A. Both values began to increase 2 h after the experiment in Group B and maintained a gradually increasing trend with significant difference compared with Group A. When compared with group B, both values significantly decreased in Group C. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05) (Table 2).
The ratios of F- to G-actin had no significant variations at each time point after the experiment in Group A. The ratios began to increase 2 h after the experiment in Group B, and maintained a gradually increasing trend with significant difference compared with Group A. Compared with Group B, the ratios significantly decreased in Group C. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
