The phrase "a relatively lower response" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when comparing responses or reactions in a context where one is lower than another, but still considered lower in a relative sense.
Example: "In the survey results, we observed a relatively lower response from the younger demographic compared to the older participants."
Alternatives: "a comparatively lower response" or "a somewhat lower response".
Another limitation included the relatively lower response rate of PCSMs/PMRs (56%), when compared to the higher response rates of rheumatologists and orthopaedic surgeons (83% and 63% respectively).
In the human population data presented here, the association of PFOS concentration with increasing trans-aminase is almost as prominent as the association for PFOA, and human laboratory cell data indicate relatively lower response of liver cells to PFOS than to PFOA (Wolf et al. 2008).
On the other hand, CAS patients (our negative control) did not show peaks for circulating NOD2 agonist or endotoxin, and had a relatively lower inflammatory response after the surgery, even if in some rare cases NOD2 agonist was detected in their plasma.
In other studies e.g. using rat H4IIE cells, the labile AhR agonists in the serum such as some PAHs and other chemicals may be degraded or metabolized during the 24 hours of exposure resulting in a relatively lower AhR response [ 47].
Fasting levels and 2 hour levels of glucose and insulin were similar in TS and controls (fasting glucose: p = 0.4; 2 h glucose: p = 0.06; fasting insulin: p = 0.3; 2 h insulin: p = 0.2), while AUCglucose was higher in women with TS, but AUCinsulin was comparable, indicating a relatively lower insulin response in TS and correcting for total bodyweight or LBM did not change this (results not shown).
The lower CI was possibly due to a combination of a relatively lower systemic inflammatory response with lower fever and heart rate, and to a PEEP induced negative effect on the right ventricle as indicated by the lower MAP [29].
A relatively lower proportion of subjects showed complete response to drugs at 3 months in post-infectious group.
A relatively lower proportion of subjects showed complete response at 3 months in post-infectious group as compared to non infectious group (35 vs. 55%).
Thus, if high vapor pressure predominately determines behavioral response variation in accordance with the trends observed, methyl acetate should have the lowest response threshold and the peak responses should occur at a relatively lower odor concentration.
