How can you use “altered” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a generalized exocrine disease resulting from the defective regulation of epithelial chloride ion transport within various organ systems, most importantly the lungs [ 1 2 3 4 ] . This dysfunction can arise from a variety of mutations within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on chromosome 7, which encodes the transmembrane pump responsible for regulating transepithelial ion levels [ 1 2 4 ] . This defect is associated with an increased viscosity of the airway surface fluid, and according to some studies, an altered salt concentration [ 5 6 ] . These and other pleiotropic effects of the CF gene abnormality increase the susceptibility of CF patients to bronchopulmonary bacterial infection by opportunistic pathogens.
Delipidated bR in octylglucoside is fully capable of M formation and presumably proton release, although with altered kinetics [ 12 16 ] . The requirement for pR to be in lipid to show fast H +release and M formation stems either from a protein/lipid interaction needed to establish a stable, active tertiary structure, or from the need for the phosphate group in DHPC to act as a proton release group.
The question, then, is whether changes in the nature of the world economy have altered the terms of trade-off--and if so, in which direction.
It appears that expression of some genes are altered with pneumococcal infection.
Additional characterization of the kinetics and mechanism of the apparently altered promoter specificities will be required before more secure models can be put forth.
