The phrase "a secondary decrease" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing a reduction that follows an initial decrease or is of lesser importance compared to a primary decrease.
Example: "After the initial drop in sales, we observed a secondary decrease in customer engagement."
Alternatives: "a subsequent decline" or "a minor reduction".
The LARGE protein is involved in glycosylation pathways and, when altered, a reduction in the molecular weight of α-DG (van Reeuwikj et al., 2007) and a secondary decrease of the protein α-2-laminin are observed.
As an alternative hypothesis it has been proposed that decreased HBV replication by limiting HSP60 release from infected hepatocytes, results in a secondary decrease in the frequency of CD4 T cells with regulatory/suppressor capacity (Tregs).
An indirect effect of 1,25(OH 2D3 on bone resorption mediated by reduction of inflammation resulting in a secondary decrease of bone resorption can be excluded as a cause for this observation, because 1,25(OhasD3 has clearly no suppressive effect on inflammation in our treatment protocol.
Knockout of Tfam results in a loss of mtDNA (29) and overexpression of TFAM leads to an increase of mtDNA copy number (36), whereas decrease of the mtDNA copy number by other means, e.g. due to pharmacological inhibition of mtDNA replication, leads to a secondary decrease of TFAM protein levels (37).
Immediately upon standing, the reduction in blood pressure is accompanied by (1) an initial increase in peripheral vascular resistance, either as part of baroreflex-mediated sympathetic activation or secondary to passive changes in vessel calibre, and (2) a secondary decrease in resistance approximately 10 s after the initial onset of hypotension (Olufsen et al. 2002).
Survival following a secondary infection decreases while the quantity of instilled P. aeruginosa increases.
These responses are often characterized by primary decreases in important indices of cardiac and thermoregulatory function, along with secondary decreases in associated parameters.
Because ptiO2is closely correlated with local CBF, 15, 24, 25 we classified the ptiO2 alterations (Fig 4A) according to classifications used for CBF responses to CSDs: monophasic increases, biphasic alterations with an initial decrease and a secondary increase, and monophasic decreases.
Therefore, blockade of GhrR signaling does not appear to interfere with gluconeogenesis, but rather may decrease HGP via an alternative mechanism, possibly as a secondary result of decreased hepatic lipid burden (2).
They can have a secondary effect of decreasing the formation of new bone tissue, Judge Keenan wrote in an opinion in July.
The structural analogues without a methyl substituent at the amino group (P2, P4, P6) exhibit very weak labeling, suggesting that a secondary amino group decreases the interactions between a probe and the protein or has unfavorable redox behavior.
