In the body/tail of the gland, the percentage of alpha cells in contact with beta cells peaked around d20. Insulin secreted to incubation media was measured by ELISA (see Methods).
Another prominent feature was the secondary structure type; specifically, the percentage of alpha helices in a protein sequence was ranked as the number 2 feature value among the selected 74 (Table S5).
Rat adult islets from the head contain almost no alpha cells, as has been classically described, while those in the body/tail are formed by beta cells surrounded by alpha cells [11]; paradoxically, during the first 20 days, islets in the head had a significant percentage of alpha cells that in the adult are probably substituted by PP cells.
The measurement index of immunohistochemistry analysis was positive area percentage of alpha smooth muscle actin (AP).
By determining the percentage of alpha voltage, states of consciousness were categorized as "very drowsy", "relaxed", or "alert".
In low doses, the anxiolytic action of benzodiazepines tends to decrease the percentage of alpha activity while increasing the prevalence of beta waves over 18 Hz [ 8].
Bivariate analyses revealed that the log number of males and female synchrony were significant predictors of the percentage of alpha male reproductive success within a group (Table 2).
Contributing factors may include their continuous patterns of eating, and the fact that their islets have a higher percentage of beta cells and lower percentage of alpha, delta, pancreatic polypeptide and ghrelin-secreting epsilon cells.
The results of the clinical evaluation of 49 restorations at baseline, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months are shown in Tables 5, 6 and 7, with the percentage of alpha scores at 36 months plotted in Fig. 1.
The percentage of Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria taking up leucine was not significantly different between surface and deep waters (Mann–Whitney t-test, P = 0.23 and P = 0.64 respectively) (Fig. 1e and f).
