Sentence examples for tolerance of exposure from inspiring English sources

In this study, larval first- and second-generation (F1 and F2) offspring of Elizabeth River killifish were more resistant to the toxicity of t-butyl hydroperoxide (a model prooxidant) than were King's Creek (reference site) offspring, indicating a heritable tolerance of exposure to oxidative stress.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects that decreasing the body's core temperature has on tolerance of exposure to LBNP and the subsequent reduction in central blood volume and whether that response is different from previous studies.

Indeed, TLR4 mRNA levels in PBMC of HIV infected subjects started at higher basal levels, and did not show evidence of expressional tolerance on exposure to additional LPS or ssRNA.

Thus, the evolution of the genus leading to tolerance of temporary exposures to high light (eNATL2A) and true high light adaptation (eMED4 and eMIT9312) that allowed this lineage to exploit the surface mixed layer habitat did not coincide with a greater resistance to HOOH; in fact, the opposite occurred.

The only consistent factor across locations was that past exposure to salinity increased tolerance; the effects of exposure could not be explained by variation in size or sex structure of fish collected from the field sites.

Long-term exposure to low doses of arsenite also results in increased tolerance of acute arsenic exposure (Romach et al. 2000) and the aberrant expression of genes involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular functions, including signal transduction, the stress response, apoptosis, and cell proliferation (Chen et al. 2001a, 2001b; Vogt and Rossman 2001).

Further, acclimation to a low temperature treatment enhanced later mean tolerance of direct cold exposure among 'non-cold tolerant' samples (i.e. those in the 'low' phenotypic class according to the direct exposure assay without acclimation).

This approach can be used to guide exposure depending on the patient's symptom severity and tolerance to each level of exposure.

Although low concentrations of chemicals are often not lethal to many taxa, the induction of tolerance following exposure to these low concentrations could potentially play a significant role in understanding population persistence following insecticide contamination.

Although we generally found that sublethal concentrations of insecticides induced increased tolerance, exposure of embryos from Square Pond (far) to the highest sublethal concentration of carbaryl induced a decrease in tolerance.

The phenomenon of induced tolerance by exposure to threshold levels of stressors to stimulate natural defense mechanisms has potential therapeutic value.
