This is an example of sensory attenuation or attenuation of sensory precision (Brown et al., 2013).
In any case the antitoxins of Cry1A described here could be used to inhibit toxicity of Cry toxins in special conditions like, for example, for attenuation of an accidental effect or a release of unregulated Cry toxin, since they offer an efficient alternative to neutralize and counter the Bt toxin action that would help protect potentially endangered organisms in a particular ecosystem.
An interesting example is that of attenuation correction (AC).
This paper describes one of the first well-documented field examples of natural attenuation of trichloroethylene (TCE) in groundwater in a fractured shale bedrock.
This is the first report describing the development of an attenuated CSFV experimental vaccine by codon usage de-optimization, and one of the few examples of virus attenuation using this methodology that is assessed in a natural host.
Experimental data unequivocally demonstrate that low femtomolar levels of Aβ and other protein oligomers can affect neuronal synapses in culture and in hippocampal brain slices (for example, by attenuation of LTP, induction of LTD, or dendritic spine loss) [ 9, 51- 53].
For example, the attenuation of ribosome subunit levels could be due to down-regulation of mRNA levels, which occurs as part of the environmental stress response (ESR) (Gasch et al., 2000).
Based on these results, with the El Centro, California, earthquake taken as an example, the attenuation of the acceleration by the sliding pads and the maximum displacement of the structure are estimated.
PTF1A is more likely to be downregulated by an epigenetic mechanism, for example, via attenuation of the positive autoregulatory loop by which PTF1A maintains its own expression and that of its partner transcription factors (Masui et al., 2008).
For example, partial attenuation of phosphorylated p38 (Thr180/Ser182) and myogenin expression was also observed, although these were reduced to a lesser extent than phospho-STAT3Y705, suggesthat that at least some portion of the activation of these proteins lay downstream of JAK function (Fig. 2 E).
