How can you use “attenuation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Since apparent defects due to LIFR loss arise during the late gestation GC surge, while maternal progesterone levels are declining in anticipation of birth and because phenotypes that have been attributed in the literature to GC excess are lessened through RU486 and the apparent heightened GC response in Lifr -/- mice affects both sexes equally, it is likely that RU486 attenuation of associated phenotypes is primarily mediated through GR antagonism.
In an animal model of cardiomyopathy that has many similaritiesto human heart failure, we tested the hypothesis that a reductionin apoptosis may be responsible for the beneficial effects of carvedilol.As such, attenuation of apoptosis in the myocardium may representa novel and important mechanism that contributes beneficial effects onthe myocardium.
The data presented suggest that attenuation of apoptosis mayunderlie the beneficial effect of β-blockade on ventricular function,and that the inhibition of apoptosis can possibly lead to improvementin ventricular function.
High-resolution CT (two in emphysema group and two in control group) or conventional CT analysis was used to detect emphysema, characterized by the presence of areas of low attenuation contrasted with surrounding normal lung parenchyma [32,33].
Accordingly, the increase in lung tissue was computed for a good part as the additional number of voxels with a CT attenuation greater than 0. Consequently, the increase in CT attenuation resulting from the intraparenchymal diffusion of contrast material could not be the cause of a major artifactual increase in lung tissue in non-aerated lung regions.
