The phrase "actively inhibited" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to describe something that is being deliberately suppressed or restrained.
Example: "The medication actively inhibited the growth of the bacteria, leading to a successful treatment."
Alternatives: "significantly suppressed" or "effectively restrained".
In the present study, preliminary evaluation revealed that the mycelia crude water extract actively inhibited ACE activity with the IC50 value of 1.134 ± 0.036 mg/mL compared to broth extract (data not shown).
Indeed, the arterial media is an immune-privileged tissue because the survival and activation of leucocytes are actively inhibited by healthy smooth muscle cells, largely through consumption of tryptophan.
Egress of macrophages from plaques is actively inhibited during hypercholesterolemia and this inhibition has been attributed, at least in part, to oxLDL loading into macrophages (Park et al, 2009).
In this context it is noteworthy that over-expression of the α6A variant in colon cancer cells did not stimulate proliferation as compared to the control cells, but rather the α6B variant actively inhibited proliferation and c-Myc activity, under conditions where integrin/ligand interactions occurred.
Since treatment with TRAIL normally activates caspase-dependent apoptosis (which would obstruct the analysis of programmed necrosis), we actively inhibited caspases/apoptosis by addition of the broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk.
In this study, we identified Q7R, which actively inhibited PEDV replication with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.014 μg/mL.
Nonetheless, it has also been reported that DCs may exist in a semi-mature state in which they are capable of actively inhibiting T cell activity, generating regulatory T-cell and promoting tolerance [2].
30 Others have shown that the inhibition of RANKL actively inhibits the proliferation of mammary epithelial cells and reduces mammary tumor multiplicity.
Besides activating glycolysis, hypoxia also actively inhibits mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-coenzyme 1 and by modulating components involved in the electron transport chain.
This is an interesting result as mutant TP53 is described to actively inhibit apoptosis through activation of p21 (Donzelli et al, 2012) or to confer chemoresistance through engaging in oncogenic transcription complexes (Huang et al, 2012).
While men with the minor allele of this polymorphism appeared to have no additional benefit of NSAID use, it is plausible that NSAID use may actively inhibit COX2 enzymatic activity only among those with the more prevalent major allele, while those with the variant allele may reach a threshold of COX2 inhibition such that NSAID use provides no added protection.
