Recchia [ 32] hypothesized that prevalent carbohydrate utilization might be advantageous for the heart because the ATP yield from carbohydrate oxidation is greater for a given rate of oxygen consumption, due to the higher ATP/oxygen ratio compared to that of free fatty acid oxidation.
The shift to prevalent carbohydrate utilization by the failing heart likely represents an adaptive response to face profoundly altered mechanics and energy turnover e.g. increased basal oxygen consumption and reduced efficiency, even if it could be disadvantageous in the long-term.
Due to their prevalent and increasing utilization in household items and consumer and baby products, human exposure, even at young ages, to flame retardant chemicals is widespread.
Nevertheless, they inevitably raise the question: are the prevalent alternative operon utilizations, asRNA and ncRNA transcriptions ubiquitous phenomena in all prokaryotes or only prevalent in some specific species?
Thus, it seems that there are more prevalent alternative operon utilizations as well as asRNA and ncRNA transcriptions in E. coli K12 than originally anticipated, and they may play important roles in the physiology of the bacterium.
Because OA is a progressive and chronic degenerative condition that is highly prevalent, the health care utilization and costs for treatment are substantial.
Unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion as a result of low contraceptive utilization are prevalent in Ethiopia (Mamboleo N: Unwanted pregnancy and induced abortion among female youths: a case study of Temeke district, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, unpublished. [ 12]) and they are the main causes of maternal mortality.
For instance, although Rasmussen et al.[ 30] did not note alternative operon utilizations in B. subtilis, more recently, Nicolas et al.[ 25] observed highly prevalent condition-dependent operon utilizations using a similar tiling array technique.
We also show that the approach outperforms the prevalent practice of enforcing resource utilization thresholds.
Less prevalent than cyanophycin is the utilization of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a storage for carbon.
