(3) Ecological risk assessments are used by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and other governmental agencies to assist in determining the probability and magnitude of deleterious effects of hazardous chemicals on plants and animals.
(4) The average IEMG of the muscles in the relaxation phase of contraction remained unaltered by fatigue, while a marked deleterious change in the relaxation-time variables (p less than 0.001) occurred concomitantly.
(5) The results demonstrate that the addition of pulsatile flow to coronary perfusion minimized the deleterious effects of prolonged ventricular fibrillation on myocardial performance.
(6) He concludes that steroid contraceptives always have a deleterious effect on glucose tolerance, although not usually to the point of causing diabetes.
(7) While measles virus caused extensive damage to nervous tissue, the SSPE strains, in general, exerted a less deleterious effect.
(8) It is concluded that intestinal bypass in rats has a more deleterious effect than resection, and this seems to be more pronounced when the excluded segment is anastomosed to the colon.
(9) The homdr mutation is unstable and probably deleterious to the cell.
(10) The biological effects mediate by cachectin may be beneficial or deleterious to the body, depending on the quantity produced, duration of cell exposure and further biochemical mediators in the environment of the target cells.
(11) Although many studies report deleterious effects of inbreeding on prereproductive mortality (death before age 20 years), such effects are usually measured in terms of genetic load, a concept much debated in the literature.
(12) Moreover, the mechanical denudation technique did not deleteriously affect smooth muscle because vasoconstrictor and vasodilator responses to nonendothelial-dependent drugs were the same before and after denudation.
(13) University of Wisconsin solution can extend hypothermic cardiac preservation and has no deleterious effects on long-term myocardial function (up to 45 days).

Deletory
Definition:
(n.) That which blots out.
Example Sentences:
(1) For biotherapy to develop, it is necessary to understand both the beneficial and the deletorious effects of cytokines.
