However, background soil DNA and likely remaining co-extracted contaminants reduced sensitivity of assays at 400 pg or less of GHA DNA.
Reduced sensitivity of the N-methyl-D-aspartate component of synaptic transmission to magnesium in hippocampal slices from immature rats.
Such buffering mechanisms are often discussed in terms of robustness, which may be measured by reduced sensitivity of performance to perturbations.
Considering chloroquine, monensin and bafilomycin A1, this tendency was confirmed with a significantly reduced sensitivity of LR-OPY1 CHIKV to these chemical (p<0.031 in any case).
Evaluation of oxygen consumption revealed reduced sensitivity of CII variants to inhibition compared with WT mitochondria.
This could have caused increased variability in testing procedures, resulting in poorer reliability and reduced sensitivity of the measures.
A cocktail of all 4 antigens resulted in slightly reduced sensitivity of 65% but improved specificity (99%).
The presence of high values of the floor or ceiling effects could indicate poor discrimination of items and thus reduced sensitivity of the questionnaire [ 29].
We next determined if reduced sensitivity of PTP1B−/− mice to APAP-induced liver injury was associated with alterations in GSH levels.
Chronic constipation is associated with long term problems including megarectum, reduced sensitivity of the rectum to the presence of faeces, and abnormal gut motility.
Reduced sensitivity of insulin target tissues and a consequent rise in insulin demand is normally compensated by expansion of beta cells and an increase in their secretory activities.
