The phrase "a causative component" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing factors or elements that cause or influence a particular outcome or effect.
Example: "In the study of social behavior, researchers identified a causative component that significantly impacted group dynamics."
Alternatives: "a contributing factor" or "an influencing element".
These results are consistent with the reports showing that oxyhemoglobin is a major causative component of blood clot for cerebral vasospasm following SAH [ 30, 31] and that ET-1 potentiates the oxyhemoglobin-induced cerebrovascular smooth muscle contraction via the rhoA/rho kinase and PKC pathways [ 11].
These results consisted with the reports showing that oxyhemoglobin is a major causative component of blood clot for cerebral vasospasm following SAH [ 26] and that ET-1 potentiates the oxyhemoglobin-induced cerebrovascular smooth muscle contraction via the rhoA/rho kinase and PKC pathways [ 28, 29].
The most accepted hypothesis as a causative factor for implant failure is the cyclic impingement between the neck of the stem and the acetabular component.
Many scientists believe that melatonin helps suppress estrogen levels, a causative factor in many cases of breast cancer.
Should symptoms persist, the causative component may remain elusive.
Although earlier diagnosis may contribute to a better clinical outcome, it is not clear from our data what is the main causative component of that better outcome.
Moreover, there is a lack of correlation between health end points and PM mass or its causative components (Clarke et al. 2000; Gordon et al. 2000; Kodavanti et al. 2000a; Saldiva et al. 2002; Smith et al. 2003).
These studies, however, do allow separation of necessary (and potentially causative) components of the host systemic inflammatory response from simply associative (but non-causative) components (e.g., blood neutrophil responses, organ neutrophil activity) – a feat not possible without this separation of TLR4 expression in vivo.
Background: Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity; however, causative components are unknown.
