This α1-AR variability is proposed to be attributable to disease duration [ 24, 49], with a biphasic expression pattern providing a compensatory response to the progressive α-AR sensitisation [ 48, 49].
Furthermore, both cancer and ageing have been proposed to be attributable to a similar fundamental cause: the accumulation of DNA damage (Hasty et al, 2003; Lombard et al, 2005).
Conversely, numerous murine-based studies have demonstrated that DHEA treatment has beneficial effects on whole body composition and several metabolic parameters, effects proposed to be attributable to its direct action on adipocyte biology, but also on other metabolic tissues such as muscle and liver.
We hypothesized the differences to be attributable to misclassification of hypertensive cases, as proposed before (Fuks et al. 2011).
The return of the organism in a single patient in April 2014, seven months after the proposed outbreak termination, might be attributable to a failure in the automated flushing protocols but more likely represents contamination from a sink in a nearby area of the hospital (i.e., operating rooms) that does not practice the auto-flushing protocol or from outside the health care environment.
(A colleague of mine, a major Tolkien-phile, does offer an alternate theory that the first "Hobbit" movie is the one that contained too much exposition and could have been folded into this considerably meatier film; the lower box office for "Smaug," he proposed, is attributable to a lingering taste some fans had after that first movie).
Given that we observed a passage-dependent effect on the ability to maintain methylation in the absence of DNMT3L, we propose that this discrepancy might be attributable to lower passage numbers of the DNMT3L-deficient ES cells used in the earlier analysis.
We propose that this disparity may be attributable to differences in the ages and genders included in the analyses and possibly the specific IQ measurement used, as the single existing previous report included older children, was restricted to male participants only, and used a different IQ assessment [ 30].
Instead of indicating self-relatedness, the authors proposed that such activations would rather be attributable to generally processing information about people [22].
One possible mechanism underlying the proposed neuroprotection against AD by statins might be attributable to the anti-inflammatory and/or antioxidant properties of the statins, rather than directly to their cholesterol-lowering effects (reviewed by Vaughan and Gotto, 2004).
Also, it has been proposed that elevated sFlt-1 levels could be attributable to increased trophoblastic placental tissue (Bdolah et al. 2008), which may indicate that increased levels of sFlt-1 and PlGF could merely reflect an increase in trophoblast volume rather than pathological processes.
