However, AFA was positively associated with sleeping HR and since this measure is likely unaffected by pregnancy, AFA may reflect the amount of fat present prior to pregnancy.
This time may reflect the amount of time that it takes for ICV GRP to fully occupy the available GRPR.
Repeated biopsy of kidney was difficult in practice but fluctuation of Cr of eGFR may reflect the amount of deposition of renal tissue in AL amyloidosis patients.
The free serum 25(OH D fraction may reflect the amount available for cells according to the free hormone theory [ 35].
Second, because we cannot exclude the possibility that participation in the MOBILIZE Boston Study was also related to residential proximity to major roadways, our results may reflect some amount of selection bias.
This may reflect the amount of surface IgE on effector cells such as mast cells and basophils, and a low level of sIgE might cause these cells to be less likely to be activated by antigen cross-linking.
Furthermore, it has been found that the compaction of meiotic chromosomes may reflect the amount of cohesins present along the axis (e.g., depletion of Rec8 results in more compact chromosomes in S. pombe, while depletion of the cohesin regulator Pds5 has the reciprocal effect [Ding et al. (2006). J. Cell Biol. 174: 499-508]).
The expression levels of certain transcripts, including RANTES, aggrecan, collagen type 11, and fibromodulin, may reflect smaller amounts of epithelium and greater amounts of cartilage in biopsy specimens of control subjects compared to those of asthmatics.
The difference in wild-type colony morphology between mouse and human pluripotent cells may reflect differential amounts of Gi-coupled GPCR signaling in pluripotent colonies.
Without equal intervals between adjacent test items change scores may reflect different amounts of change for subjects with differing levels of severity, or may fail to identify change at all [ 54].
