Help? I dont understand this sentence?
So, I am translating this text into Spanish for a friend but I can't decodify the meaning of this sentence, I mean, I don't understant the structure of it near the end:
"... but this phenotype is thought to result from hyperactivity-induced increases in energy expenditure secondary to primary defects in the striatum".
Could you rephrase it so that I can understand it? I mean, it's all good until "secondary to primary defects in the striatum" comes up.
Thank you so much!

It's a really long structured sentence, here's the translation, I think it's hard to understand in any laguage, unless you're familiar with the terms used in there.
"...pero se cree que este fenotipo resulta (se dá) del aumento de gasto energético de inducción de hiperactividad, secundada por defectos primarios en el estriado."

It sounds like you've an quite certain format for the rfile. What your instructor looks inquiring for is that the 2d web page of your rfile have 4 paragraphs. each and every of those paragraphs should be made from a minimum of 5 sentences. the reason behind the "5 sentences" rule is possibly merely to easily be certain you advance each and every paragraph totally. i understand distinct scholars who write paragraphs that are purely some sentences lengthy, which does not truly advance the perception of the paragraph. there is not some thing "unlawful" about writing paragraphs with more advantageous (or, at times, fewer) sentences, yet 5 is oftentimes a good minimum huge type to have in a paragraph. the different language in there about them being "nicely written" paragraphs with "grammatically splendid" sentences is merely your instructor's way of reminding you to be careful to not make grammar blunders, use words wisely and appropriately, etc.
