Statistical analysis of the profile indexes indicated a significant difference in outcome between samples with a low and medium TCP (P = 0.01, Student's T-test) and between samples with a low and high TCP (P < 0.0001).
However, if the utilities shuffle their template load profiles' indices frequently enough, the linkage between the matching results gets lost.
However, this can be rendered futile if the utilities regularly shuffle their template load profiles' indices in the initialization phase, e.g., each day.
No significant difference in lipid profile indices was found between baseline and the end of the study, in agreement with the results of Sanchez's study [ 17].
Moreover, highly significant negative correlations between the distance covered during the race and several lipid profile indices (serum TG, cholesterol total, LDL and HDL) strongly support the view of the beneficial effect of endurance effort on serum lipid profile.
Metabolic secondary outcomes include glucose, insulin and C-Peptide measures during the OGTT, fasting proinsulin: split proinsulin ratios, leptin and adiponectin levels, liver steatosis, IMCL, lipid profiles, indices of insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance status.
The diagnostic parameters selected for the classification are floodplain width, floodplain (or valley floor) slope, valley confinement (expressed by a longitudinal profile index, LPI), channel sinuosity (indicating river mechanism), and valley depth.
Bacterial isolates were identified using Analytical Profile Index (API, Bio Meriux, France).
The results were verified using Analytical Profile Index (API Campy system, Marcy l'Etoile, France).
