Contrary or Null Findings
- "In conclusion, refuting our initial hypothesis, animal protein intake was inversely associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older adults."
- “But in Muscle Tissue, We Saw the Opposite, Which Is Not What We Expected. We Found That Muscle Tissue Is Privileged Under Conditions That are Usually Unfavorable for Growth and Reproduction – That Its Potential for Growth Is Protected Even When Nutrients are Scarce.”
- "we found little evidence that a reduction in the energy allocation to maintenance is at the basis of genetic antagonisms observed in livestock populations between productivity traits and traits related to health or future reproduction."
- Moderate Differences in Plasma Leptin in Mares Have No Effect on Either the Amino Acid or the Fatty Acid Composition of the Uterine Fluid.
- RCT: Resistant Starch Wheat Increases PYY and Decreases GIP but Has No Effect on Self-Reported Perceptions of Satiety.
- "This is the first study to evaluate the use of Home-HIIT for individuals in a primary care setting. Contrary to our hypothesis, adherence to both exercise prescriptions was poor, and CRF improved to a similar extent in both groups with improvements maintained at 3-month follow-up."
- RCT: "Walking and Daily Affect Among Sedentary Older Adults Measured Using the StepMATE App... Contrary to predictions, there were no differences in step increases between the two conditions."
