The phrase "abnormal reduction" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where a decrease or diminishment is not typical or expected, such as in medical, scientific, or statistical discussions.
Example: "The study revealed an abnormal reduction in the patient's white blood cell count, indicating a potential underlying health issue."
Alternatives: "unusual decrease" or "atypical decline".
Since we measured basal skin sensitivity in the absence of headache, in cases of abnormal reduction of CPT, we decided to use the term "interictal allodynia" (IA).
However, overproduction of superoxides due to abnormal reduction of key components of the respiratory chain (i.e., ubiquinone and cytochrome b) or to impairment of antioxidant defenses adversely affects various cellular processes and constituents [2].
Moreover, inactivation of PI3K (III) by Vps34 mutation leads to an expansion of the outer nuclear membrane and an abnormal reduction of the LDL receptor at the apical membrane in C. elegans [27].
Together, these results indicate that abnormal reduction of NORE1 expression is associated with the malignant progression of colorectal tumors.
In contrast to cancerous tissues, abnormal reduction or promoter hypermethylation of NORE1 was not found in corresponding nonneoplastic mucosa.
Abnormal reduction of NORE1 was more commonly observed in advanced stage and high grade tumors compared to early and low grade tumors.
Furthermore, Hasler et al. [85] demonstrated that abnormal reductions in glutamate/glutamine and GABA concentrations are present in the prefrontal cortex of unmedicated depressed patients.
For example, the expansion of a poly-alanine tract in HOXD13 results in the synpolydactyly syndrome, with abnormal reductions, duplications and fusions of digits [ 28].
Since the Glx measure reflects the intracellular glutamate and glutamine pools, the abnormal reductions in Glx concentrations would be compatible with the reductions in glial cells found post mortem in the same regions in MDD, as glia play prominent roles in glutamate glutamine cycling.
But this abnormal event (reduction of autonomic response) is not the only factor responsible for the formation of the delusion.
Since CAML-deficient thymocytes exhibited abnormally increased sensitivity to Fas-induced apoptosis, we explored whether Fas is critical for the abnormal thymocyte reduction caused by loss of CAML.
