French term or phrase: voie d’action
Quelles sont les conséquences neurobiologiques d’une baisse d’activité physiologique de la voie d’action de la vitamine A et les effets d’une supplémentation en vitamine A au cours du vieillissement.

There must be a standard expression for this - but I can't seem to think of it or find it anywhere. "Mechanism" sort of works but hopefully there is something better?
This is a report from a university research team.

Thanks everyone. This works in a general context, and Lionel 's "pathway" seems to be appropriate in certain cases, such as "retinoid receptor pathway".
