| acidophil adenoma | <endocrinology, oncology, tumour> A benign tumour, usually found in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, whose cells stain with acid dyes. Such pituitary tumours may give rise to excessive secretion of growth hormone, resulting in gigantism or acromegaly. A specific type of acidophil adenoma may give rise to nonpuerperal galactorrhoea. (25 Jun 1999) |
| acidophil cell | A cell whose cytoplasm or its granules stain with acid dyes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidophil granule | A granule that stains with an acid dye such as eosin. Synonym: oxyphil granule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidophile | <microbiology> Describes any microorganism that can or must live in an acidic environment (pH below 6). (06 May 1997) |
| acidophilic | Having an affinity for acid dyes; denoting a cell or tissue element that stains with an acid dye, such as eosin. Synonym: acidophil, acidophile, oxychromatic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidophilic leukocyte | A polymorphonuclear leukocyte characterised by many large or prominent, refractile, cytoplasmic granules that are fairly uniform in size and bright yellow-red or orange when treated with Wright's or similar stains; the nuclei are usually larger than those of neutrophils, do not stain as deeply, and characteristically have two lobes (a third lobe is sometimes interposed on the connecting strand of chromatin); these leukocyte's are motile phagocytes with distinctive antiparasitic functions. Synonym: acidophilic leukocyte, eosinocyte, eosinophil, eosinophile, oxyphil, oxyphile, oxyphilic leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidophilus | <microbiology> Bacteria found in yogurt that help restore a supportive bacterial environment to an intestinal tract affected by disease and antibiotics. Ingesting acidophilus also may be useful in preventing candidiasis (thrush), including in the vagina. (13 Nov 1997) |
| acidophilus milk | Milk inoculated with a culture of Bacillus acidophilus. (05 Mar 2000) |
