There has also been consideration of the effect of hormonal activity in local tissue, with a recent study suggesting that physical symptoms, including GI symptoms, may indicate sensitivity to reproductive steroids, and that concurrent psychological symptoms may reflect neurological sensitivity to these steroids, at a peak point in the menstrual cycle [ 19].
First, our reported 52% sensitivity of concentrated smear is similar to that in previous studies of HIV-infected individuals (i.e., 50% [ 37], 52% [ 38], and 54% [ 39]), suggesting that the discrepancy in findings may reflect higher sensitivity of direct microscopy in the present study, rather than higher sensitivity of concentrated microscopy in other studies.
The anterior insula is activated by taste perception [53], [54] and food stimulation [55] and the enhanced activation in obese subjects may reflect increased sensitivity to food stimuli whereas the blunted activation to GD may reflect their decreased sensitivity to vagal signaling from GD.
Those comments may reflect the sensitivity of the issue of gun control in the US.
Despite the autocorrelation in the index values, the positive relationship between PDSI and T. occidentalis growth may reflect the sensitivity of the species to moisture conditions in disjunct stands south of its contiguous range margin.
Notably, violence is not the issue in relation to those programs, which may reflect heightened sensitivity among programmers on that score in the wake of concerns voiced about the media's influence on societal violence.
This difference may reflect limited sensitivity of the antibody used for Western blotting of VIP, or post-translational regulation of VIP levels.
The large number of failures to amplify at the MSP1 locus may reflect reduced sensitivity of this assay compared to the microsatellite loci, the vast majority of which did amplify, although the presence of 'null alleles' (see below) at MSP1 cannot be discounted and will be discussed later.
As EAAT2 expression continuously increases during developmental CNS maturation and is low in the early postnatal period [37], the missing effect of ceftriaxone on glial uptake in the mixed glial cell culture obtained from newborn rats may reflect reduced sensitivity of the EAAT2 promotor to β-lactam antibiotics.
