(7) It inhibits platelet and vascular smooth muscle activation by cGMP-dependent attenuation of the agonist-induced rise of intracellular free Ca2+.
(8) Genetic regulation of the ilvGMEDA cluster involves attenuation, internal promoters, internal Rho-dependent termination sites, a site of polarity in the ilvG pseudogene of the wild-type organism, and autoregulation by the ilvA gene product, the biosynthetic L-threonine deaminase.

Attenuation
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of making slender, or the state of being slender; emaciation.
(n.) The act of attenuating; the act of making thin or less dense, or of rarefying, as fluids or gases.
(n.) The process of weakening in intensity; diminution of virulence; as, the attenuation of virus.
