What's the difference between sextuple and sixfold?
Sextuple
Definition:
(a.) Six times as much; sixfold.
(a.) Divisible by six; having six beats; as, sixtuple measure.
Example Sentences:

(2) Other eyes received CB 25 micrograms ml-1 or 50 micrograms ml-1, followed by CB + P1 mg ml-1; facility quadrupled to sextupled after CB, but tended to decrease from those levels, although it remained above baseline, after P was added.
(3) A mutant lacking five snRNAs (snR3, snR4, snR5, snR8, snR9) was indistinguishable from the wild type, and growth of the sextuple mutant was no more impaired than that in strains lacking only snR10.
(4) We have developed a convenient sampling schedule involving only six large samples, each analyzed in sextuplicate.
(5) The structure of the fiber appears to be a sextuple helix in terms of the long striations, and a double helix in terms of the short striations.
Sixfold
Definition:
(a.) Six times repeated; six times as much or as many.
Example Sentences:
(1) The maximum amplitude of the inward Na+ current, normalized by cell capacitance, is about sixfold larger, on the average, in LP lactotropes than in SP lactotropes.
(2) Venour ligation produced sixfold increases in lymph flow.
(3) IL-1 beta decreased PAI-1 levels by 50% and stimulated PAI-2 levels sixfold.
(4) In contrast, populations containing BFUe yielded a striking (sixfold for CFUe; 23-fold for e-clusters) expansion of late progenitors in the presence of Epo.
(5) We found that transport was not blocked for either protein, but rather that the half-time for secretion was increased about sixfold for both proteins.
(6) The specific activities were two- to sixfold higher in astrocyte cultures than in rat brain.
(7) The affinity of subfragment 1 for actin is increased sixfold by troponin-tropomyosin in the presence of calcium.
(8) The effects of divalent cations on the susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to amikacin were evaluated, and the minimal inhibitory concentration values varied sixfold over a range of divalent cation concentrations from 0.2 to 8.75 mg%.
(9) An induction of over sixfold was observed for dnaK and groE.
(10) Incubation of confluent endothelial cell cultures with thrombin for 24 h caused a sixfold increase in PA-I activity.
(11) Sixfold enhancement of CAT activity was observed in infected cells using 100 ng of transfected plasmid.
(12) However, radiolabel pulse chase protocols indicated that newly synthesized acid phosphatase was transported out of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and into lysosomes at a two- to threefold slower rate in HL243 and at a sixfold slower rate in M31.
(13) The lifetime of the crosslinked material at 37 degrees C was further extended (about sixfold) with 30% glycerol, and the crosslinked material was completely stable for more than 2 weeks if stored on ice.
(14) Ascorbate in low serum medium has been shown previously to stimulate the procollagen pathway by sequentially increasing by sixfold the secretion rate constant, then translation rates, and finally mRNA levels.
(15) An apparent improvement in utilization of even-MCT was observed between 6 and 18 h, as evidenced by a twofold vs a sixfold increase in 3-OH-butyrate (BHBA) concentration 1 h after dosing and a twofold vs 12-fold increase in plasma fatty acid concentration.
(16) This initial pattern was followed by an intense phase 2 activity, characterized by a 10-fold increase in the number of groups of repetitive spike bursts and a sixfold increase in the number of ultrarapid single propagated spike bursts (ultrarapid peristaltic rushes).
(17) The administration of 13 drops during 1 hour resulted in a threefold increase in normal corneal levels and in a sixfold increase in débrided cornea levels.
(18) Bovine serum albumin and gamma globulin also stimulate the microvilli and pits to form, but the response is a slow, gradual rise to five- or sixfold the normal value at 90 min.
(19) ts11 P1 produced about sixfold more chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity than did ts11 P2 and had features of the promoters of housekeeping genes: high G + C content, multiple transcription start sites, absence of a TATA box, and presence of putative Sp1 binding sites.
(20) We now show that addition of ascorbate to cultures containing 3% serum induces a sixfold increase in the secretion rate constant but translation rates and mRNA levels remain unchanged.
