| reduced enamel epithelium | The several layers of the enamel organ remaining on the enamel surface after formation of enamel is completed. Synonym: reduced enamel epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced eye | A simplified design of the ocular optical system, represented as having a single refracting surface and a uniform index of refraction; a model based on this concept is used in retinoscopy and ophthalmoscopy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced glutathione | Glutathione acting as a hydrogen donor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced haematin | 1. <biochemistry> Compounds of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring that differ in side chain composition. Haems are the prosthetic groups of cytochromes and are found in most oxygen carrier proteins. 2. <prefix> haem-, eaning relating to blood. Origin: G. Haima (21 Jun 2000) |
| reduced haemoglobin | The form of Hb in red blood cells after the oxygen of oxyhemoglobin is released in the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
