First, the cross-sectional nature of our study does not provide insight into the time course of the development of alterations in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity leading to deterioration in glucose homeostasis; therefore, no conclusions regarding cause-effect relationships can be made.
As has been observed previously, greater sensitivity to inflammation-associated deterioration in this mood measure was associated with higher trait-anxiety (10).
Sensitivity to early stages of deterioration allows for simpler and less expensive repair than if a flaw propagates and becomes more damaging.
Furthermore, in this study cohort low to moderate CM-induced damage is probably not reflected by a decline in kidney function as measured by the serum creatinine concentration, a parameter with limited sensitivity to detect an acute deterioration in renal function within 48 hours [ 25].
The 5-day washout period was designed to eliminate any acute effects of the study drugs on β-cell sensitivity to glucose while avoiding any deterioration in glycemic control to ensure that any trophic effects of the drugs would not be negated by the development of glucotoxicity.
Tensile stress induced on the membrane consequently leads to sensitivity deterioration, while compressive stress improves sensitivity.
It is well-known that celiac patients show varying sensitivity to gluten and the process of mucosal deterioration may take years or even decades [ 35- 37].
Responsiveness: Sensitivity to real change over time (e.g. deterioration in VA or contrast sensitivity).
Although all performance parameters show different degrees of sensitivity to the value of P4, where they show some deterioration outside the abovementioned optimum ranges of the pressure, yet wnet has the least sensitivity.
ATM deficiency causes Ataxia Telangiectasia that is characterized by cerebellar deterioration, oculocutaneous telangiectasia, immunodeficiency, genome instability, acute sensitivity to ionizing radiation, and predisposition to malignancy.
