Further study of mechanisms governing the adaptive changes responsible for high-altitude adaptation will contribute to our understanding of the molecular basis of evolutionary change and assist in the functional annotation of the human genome.
Comparative anatomy, the comparative study of the body structures of different species of animals in order to understand the adaptive changes they have undergone in the course of evolution from common ancestors.
Although acclimatization commonly requires modification of activity, the adaptive changes permit an organism to exploit regions of great seasonal variation and, on occasion, to move in wholly new environments.
Comparative anatomy, the other major subdivision of the field, compares similar body structures in different species of animals in order to understand the adaptive changes they have undergone in the course of evolution.
A new design based on the adaptive changes seen in cuff tear arthropathy is presented.
The objective of this study was thus to evaluate the adaptive changes occurring at the mycolic acid level in R. opacus PWD4 under different conditions.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) participates in synaptic plasticity and the adaptive changes in the strength of communication between neurons thought to underlie aspects of behavioral adaptation.
Currently, to our knowledge, no study has investigated the adaptive changes of the central part of the neuromuscular system in shoulder-muscle function on the basis of a chronic RCT.
In order to investigate the adaptive changes in the mycolic acid composition, we investigated the composition of mycolic acids during the response both to osmotic stress caused by NaCl and to 4-chlorophenol in Rhodococcus opacus PWD4.
Thus, class II correction by twin-block appliance during childhood might help to eliminate the adaptive changes in the upper airway and predisposing factors to OSA, thus decreasing the risk of OSA development in adulthood.
Sorrell et al. found that following adaptation in the ferret, a reassortant virus carrying the surface proteins of an avian H9N2 into a human H3N2 backbone could gain respiratory transmissibility, and the adaptive changes in HA1-T189A HA2-G192R192R were demonstrated to be necessary for respiratory droplet transmission (Sorrell et al., 2009) (see Table 3).
