The phrase "attenuated the effect" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to describe the reduction or weakening of an impact or influence.
Example: "The new policy was designed to attenuate the effect of economic downturns on small businesses."
Alternatives: "diminished the impact" or "reduced the effect."
Co-administration of losartan attenuated the effect of albumin (p > 0.05, Mann-Whitney test, two-tailed).
Albumin induced the degradation of perineuronal nets around PV interneurons and losartan attenuated the effect of albumin.
Treatment with 4CD or Vit C attenuated the effect of PM on MDA, PC and GSH activities.
Treatment with PREG-S and 4CD attenuated the effect of lindane on MDA (p < 0.001) and NP-SH levels.
However, pretreatment of rats with M35 significantly attenuated the effect of galanin by about 25% (F1,6 = 21.307; p <.005) at the end of the sampling period (180 240 min).
Administration of the D1 antagonist SCH 23390 (n=6; 3–5 μM) attenuated the effect of DA (6.5±1.3 mV; p<0.001), whereas the D2 antagonist eticlopride (10 μM) was ineffective (8.1±1.1 mV compared to control; n=4).
In contrast, inhibition of phospholipase A2 activity using E-6(Bromomethylene tetrahydro-3- 1-naphthalenyl -2H-pyran-2-one (HELSS) significantly attenuated the effect of fenoldopam Bromomethylene tetrahydro-3- 1-naphthalenyl -2H-pyran-2-one
The 8-OH-DPAT injection into the aCSF pretreated rats (n = 4) caused a rapid, but reversible reduction of hippocampal 5-HT levels within 40 min, i.e. at 160 min. Galanin, at a dose of 0.15 nmol, significantly attenuated the effect of 8-OH-DPAT only at its peak effect at 160 min (* p <.05 versus aCSF/8-OH-DPAT group, n = 4).
This finding indicated that hypoxia attenuated the effect of calcium antagonists on the amplitude of CSD.
Excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists 2-amino-5-phoshopentanoic acid and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-nitro-2, 3-dioxo-benzo[f]quinoxaline-7-sulfonamide also attenuated the effect of H(2 O(2) on MEQ fluorescence.
Further, the Embedded Phenomena activity attenuated the effect of individual differences in spatial skills on learning in science such that low spatial individuals performed as well as high spatial individuals in the embedded condition.
