This may reflect more efficient foraging on a few numerically dominant and abundant resource species.
The longer hospital stays after surgery may reflect less efficient medical care in our health care system [9].
The high number of events recorded by the RASFF countries of Germany, France and United Kingdom may reflect more efficient monitoring programmes, rather than a high number of products or imports containing unapproved GMOs.
This may reflect highly efficient degradation of mitochondrial Bcl-2 before caspase 3 activation.
Therefore, lower levels of unsaturated TG species in female offspring may reflect an efficient beta-oxidation function compared to controls, a tendency that may be opposing the effects of age.
A low placenta weight and a high placental ratio (placenta weight relative to birth weight) may reflect less efficient placental function (Barker et al. 1993; Salafia et al. 2006).
Together with a higher presence of scavenger ether PC and lower polyunsaturated TG species, the plasma lipidome of female offspring may reflect an efficient metabolism of different lipid species as a synchronized attempt to maintain a low oxidative environment.
As shown in other studies [ 9, 17, 33, 34], neonatal fat was also increased in mothers of higher parity, which may reflect more efficient materno-fetal nutrient transfer in 'experienced' mothers.
Again, the cell-to-cell variation in free Zn2+ concentration was found to be larger in the ER when compared to the cytosol, which may reflect more efficient buffering of the free Zn2+ concentration in the cytosol due to the presence of metallothionein.
