English term or phrase: a low basic output was increased by back reflection
Most remarkable was the emergence, under certain conditions, of well-marked oscillations.
The regulatory role of these biophotons became obvious from the effects of reflecting them back into the blood: a low basic output was increased by back reflection; high output was reduced. Even in
some non-living materials, e.g., solutions of methyl glyoxal and glycine, there was both generation of ROS and release of biophotons. In such systems, too, oscillations were seen to develop.

French translation:une sortie essentiellement faible fut augmentée par une telle réflexion
Explanation:
'une telle réflexion' permet de se référer à la phrase précédante, évitant ainsi la tautologie du texte anglais: 'back reflection'

ce que le texte décrit, en fait, est une phénomène de rétroaction (feedback)
