The high frequency of "positive" results in our study sample could reflect a combination of multiple testing, selective reporting, and publication bias [ 14].
The observed tag density might reflect a mixture of multiple binding events, however, resulting from TF binding fluctuating between different protein complexes.
Thus, the observed effects on transformation and leukemogenicity likely reflect a combination of multiple effects caused by interference with the protein architecture.
Although these behavioral tests provide readouts for general motor performance, they reflect a combination of multiple deficits that cannot be teased apart post hoc and, in addition, do not provide specific information about locomotor coordination.
The levels of plasma proteins likely reflect a systems response of multiple organs to excess dietary fat.
The synthesis of PLs (Kennedy pathway) and remodeling pathway (Lands' cycle) is a complex pathway, and therefore, our results probably reflect a combination of known specificities of multiple acyl-CoA:lysophospholipid acyltransferases (46) and CoA-dependent transacylases (30, 56).
The reviewers are correct, preplay may not reflect a uniform distribution of the multiple experiences the animal had, but rather a more specific distribution of related ones.
Testing a multiple of the control reflects the typical procedure of pesticide risk assessments.
The finding of a non-negligible, statistically significant effect of glucocorticoid use between 1 and 3 years ago on the current risk of serious infection may reflect an integrated effect of multiple glucocorticoid-regulated phenomena, each with a different recovery interval following discontinuation of therapy, as discussed above.
This pattern of results suggests that adaptation in the visual system generally reflects a combination of multiple temporally-tuned mechanisms.
