Moreover, we suggested that metastatic synchronization can be quantified by the standard deviation of size and number of metastases at time of first recurrence, as a marker of variation in the metastatic pattern.
Isolates from single patients were variable for many traits commonly taken as a marker of variation in RpoS levels (breadth of carbon source utilization, motility, H2O2 and acid sensitivity, glycogen production, and the red dry and rough morphotype).
Accurate assignment of exposure depends on the availability of effective markers of variation in exposure, whatever the underlying diversity of exposures may actually be.
According to Salazar et al. [ 23], common DNA polymorphisms in genes associated with lipid metabolism are potentially important genetic markers of variation in the plasma lipid profile and thus susceptibility or resistance to CAD.
Therefore, we selected SNPs that are markers of variation in larger segments of each of the five iron homeostasis genes (tagSNPs) based on linkage calculated using Haploview version 4.1 Barrettt 2009) for Asian population groups from Beijing and Tokyo [Han Chinese in Beijing, China (CHB) and Japanese in Tokyo, Japan (JPT)] included in Hapmap (http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/citinghapmap.html.en).en
In this case, ozone which is formed by reactions with oxygen in the atmosphere would be a better marker of season variations of oxygen in the atmosphere than oxygen itself.
Objective To determine if individuals who taste 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP), one marker of genetic variation in taste, as exceptionally bitter can also perceive sugars as sweeter, other bitters as more intense, and dietary fats as more creamy and/or viscous than do individuals who taste PROP as weakly bitter.
In addition, we run sensitivity analysis with additional adjustment for the time of the day of urine collection as a marker of diurnal variation.
It has been demonstrated that SVV (as a marker of respiratory variation in SV) could predict fluid responsiveness in patients receiving mechanical ventilation [ 32- 36].
Because the glycemic fluctuations as estimated from MAGE indexes reflect both upward and downward glucose changes, whereas A1C, PPG, and FPG values are only markers of upward variations, there is a reason to hypothesize that MAGE indexes are wider integrators of glycemic variations than the A1C, PPG, and FPG values.
