Cesarean birth is associated with altered composition of the neonate's microbiota and with increased risk for obesity and other diseases later in life.
Biomass with less hydrophilicity, e.g., biomass with altered composition (higher lignin content), would absorb less water and have a lower ratio of bound to free water compared to biomass with lower lignin contents.
Following on this hypothesis, genetically engineered strains have been generated in past years with altered composition and regulation of the photosynthetic apparatus to reduce their competitive capacity, for example with reduced cell pigment content [ 6, 16, 20].
The importance of H2O2 production for health can be illustrated in bacterial vaginosis, since lack of lactobacilli with such production seems to be associated with an altered composition of the vaginal flora resulting in a massive anaerobic overgrowth [ 30].
NF-Y-mediated recruitment of MLL complexes with an altered composition on growth-promoting genes could impair profoundly regulation, via alteration of the local histone PTMs.
In psoriasis, keratinocyte proliferation as well as differentiation are perturbed, leading to a grossly thickened epidermis with an altered composition of normal epidermal layers.
These data are in line with an altered composition or abundance of ICRAC channels in HT22R cells.
Citrus mutants with altered carotenoid compositions and contents also exist, such as mutants with pink to red flesh that accumulate lycopene, phytoene, or β-cryptoxanthin.
As a consequence, a layer of altered composition cs is formed near the surface.
As a consequence, in normal and hyperlipidemic livers this may result in altered composition of bile.
More details for GM maize and the results for other GM crops, like herbicide-tolerant [HT] oilseed rape and GM potato with altered starch composition, can be found in the full report [14].
