The phrase "a decrease in nerve" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing medical, psychological, or physiological changes related to nerve function or sensitivity.
Example: "The patient experienced a decrease in nerve sensitivity, which affected their ability to feel pain."
Alternatives: "a reduction in nerve" or "a decline in nerve function".
Fetal nicotine exposure (gestational days 4-21) decreased the cerebrocortical binding of paroxetine (PXT), a marker for the serotonin (5HT) transporter, likely indicative of a decrease in nerve terminals in that region; the effect lasted into adulthood.
A decrease in nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is the most consistent electrophysiological marker of DPN [4], [6].
Additionally, a decrease in nerve growth factor (NGF) in STZ-treated rats was prevented by taurine supplementation (Obrosova et al. 2001a).
Following sciatic nerve injury, there was a decrease in nerve conduction in both controls and conNrg1 mutants; however, this reduction was more pronounced in conNrg1 mutants (Fig. 5G).
A recent report noted a decrease in nerve conduction velocity following a single i.p. injection of 1 mg/g misonidazole in mice.
Such defects are attributed to a decrease in nerve function and consist of alterations in oscillatory potentials, pattern electroretinogram (ERG), multifocal ERG, S-cone ERG, and paired-flash ERG [ 3– 10].
Alternative pathophysiologic explanations for pain reduction post ablation include decompression of the tumour volume, a decrease in nerve-stimulating cytokines released by the tumour and inhibition of osteoclast activity [8, 49].
It is known that enhancement of sympathetic nerve activity based on a decrease in parasympathetic nerve activity is associated with fatigue induced by mental tasks lasting more than 30 min.
A double-blind study in patients with diabetic neuropathy by Sima et al. [ 115] gave exciting evidence of the efficacy of sorbinil, an aldose reductase inhibitor, against morphological signs of degeneration accompanied by a decrease in the nerve sorbitol level and an increase in the nerve conduction velocity.
If true, a decrease in cochlear nerve output from one ear, due to conductive or sensorineural hearing loss, should change cochlear nerve response in the opposite ear via modulation in olivocochlear feedback.
In summary, the altered huntingtin protein causes a decrease in the nerve cell's energy supply.
