Most oxidation-reduction (redox) processes involve the transfer of oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, or electrons, with all three processes sharing two important characteristics: (1) they are coupled i.e., in any oxidation reaction a reciprocal reduction occurs, and (2) they involve a characteristic net chemical change i.e., an atom or electron goes from one unit of matter to another.
The interactions of Cd and Zn in mixture decreased Cd accumulation in tissues (gill and liver), however no reciprocal reduction in tissue Zn accumulation was observed.
In the middle and proximal femoral regions, there was a significant increase in the proportion of bone grafts with a reciprocal reduction in water and air in the vibration-assisted group (P <.01) as compared with the control group, suggesting tighter graft compaction.
Over-expression of Fto in either ARC or PVN caused a reciprocal reduction in food intake.
We previously demonstrated that nuclear and cytoplasmic accumulation of the intracellular domain (Ep-ICD) of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) accompanied by a reciprocal reduction of its extracellular domain (EpEx), occurs in aggressive thyroid cancers.
Subsequently, we reported nuclear and cytoplasmic accumulation of Ep-ICD in different subtypes of thyroid cancers that was associated with a reciprocal reduction in membranous EpEx, and also observed a correlation of nuclear Ep-ICD accumulation with tumor aggressiveness and poor disease prognosis [28].
Loss of function of reggie-1 results in the reciprocal reduction in the morphogen gradient.
However, we found no reciprocal reduction in RAR activity when chondrocytes were treated with both TNF-α and atRA.
A reciprocal reduction in HER2 expression on the HER2+ cancer cells was also observed in the patient's cells.
