infrarregulação
(Dicionário Médico Stedman)
Talvez seja difícil encontrar referências online devido ao Acordo Ortográfico (antes do mesmo, seria "infra-regulação).

Nesse caso, ficaria "infrarregular"... Talvez "regular para baixo"...

diminuição
processo de diminuição de um certo número de componentes de uma células, tal como ARN ou proteína, em resposta a uma variável externa. Por exemplo, a célula diminui o número de receptores para uma dada hormona ou neurotransmissor
Discussion
Down-regulation occurs for example when a cell is overly stimulated by a neurotransmitter, hormone, or drug for a prolonged period of time and the expression of the receptor protein is decreased in order to protect the cell (see also tachyphylaxis).
