| mannitol | A medication given to reduce brain swelling and elevated intracranial pressure. Also used to temporarily disrupt the blood-brain barrier prior to some forms of chemotherapy. (16 Dec 1997) |
| mannitol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Chemical name: D-Mannitol:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.67 (12 Dec 1998) |
| mannitol hexanitrate | An explosive compound formed by the nitration of mannitol; when diluted with carbohydrate substances (one part of mannitol hexanitrate to nine or more parts of carbohydrate) it is not explosive, and is used as a vasodilator and hypotensive agent; it is slower in action than nitroglycerin. Synonym: nitromannitol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mannitol - mannose 1-oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Isolated from celeriae root tips; catalyses the nad-dependent oxidation of mannitol to mannose not to fructose; strongly inhibited by NADH and sensitive to alterations of nad-NADH ratio. Do not confuse with mannitol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.67) which is a 2-oxidoreductase which converts mannitol to fructose Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: mannitol 1-dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| mannitol phosphates | Phosphoric acid esters of mannitol. (12 Dec 1998) |
| D mannitol | <chemical> Hexitol related to D mannose. Found in plants, particularly fungi and seaweeds. (18 Nov 1997) |
| barium hydroxide | Ba(OH)2;a caustic compound combined with calcium hydroxide in a carbon dioxide absorbent; used in anaesthetic circuits. See: absorbent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth hydroxide | (Bi(OH)3), used in detecting reducing sugars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium hydroxide | <chemical> Calcium hydroxide (ca(oh)2). A white powder that has many therapeutic uses. Because of its ability to stimulate mineralization, it is found in many dental formulations. Chemical name: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) (12 Dec 1998) |
