| absolute dehydration | Actual water deficit as measured by a difference from the normal or from a given water content. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| relative dehydration | Water deficit relative to content of solutes contributing effective osmotic pressure; a state of increased effective osmotic pressure of body fluids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| voluntary dehydration | That physiologic lag or deficit that results when sensations of thirst are not strong enough to bring about complete replacement of water loss, as in rapid sweating. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dehydration | The condition that results from excessive loss of body water. Synonym: anhydration, deaquation, hypohydration. Origin: L. De = away, Gr. Hydor = water (18 Nov 1997) |
| dehydration-condensation reaction | The joining of two molecules to each other with the release of a water molecule in the process. Compare: hydrolysis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| dehydration fever | An elevation of temperature in infants after reduction of fluid intake, diarrhoea, or vomiting; probably caused by reduced available body water, with reduced heat loss by evaporation; an analogous condition in adults is seen when exertion is continued in the face of dehydration. Synonym: dehydration fever, exsiccation fever, inanition fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acyl-CoA-1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol acyltransferase | <enzyme> From hl-60 cells; related to platelet-activating factor metabolism Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: acyl-CoA-1-o-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol acyltransferase, acaag-acyltransferase, acyl-coenzyme a-1-o-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol acyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| CDP glycerol glycerophosphotransferase | <enzyme> Involved in the synthesis of the major wall teichoic acid in bacillus subtilis 168 Registry number: EC 2.7.8.12 Synonym: cdp-glycerol-poly(glycerophosphate) glycerophosphotransferase, cgptase, tagf gene product, rodc gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol | <biochemistry> A metabolic intermediate, but primarily of interest as the central structural component of the major classes of biological lipids, triglycerides and phosphatidyl phospholipids. Also used as a cryoprotectant. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase | <enzyme> From the archaebacterium methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum; forms the glycerophosphate which is the mirror image of that found in eubacterial and eukaryotic ether phospholipids Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: sn-glycerol-1-phosphate - nad+ oxidoreductase, sn-g-1-p dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that participates in phospholipid biosynthesis, catalyzing the transfer of an acyl group from a fatty acyl-CoA to sn-glycerol-3-phosphate producing coenzyme A and lysophosphatidic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase | Alpha-Glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase; 3-phosphoglycerol dehydrogenase;an oxidoreductase that catalyses the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, with the participation of NAD+; its action provides the glycerol moiety from carbohydrate during lipogenesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerol-3-phosphate - glucose phosphotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of glycerol and glucose-6-phosphate Registry number: EC 2.7.1.142 Synonym: gro3p-glucose transphorylase, glycerol 3-phosphate-glucose transphorylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol-3-phosphate o-acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that transfers acyl groups from acyl-CoA to glycerol-3-phosphate to form monoglyceride phosphates. It acts only with CoA derivatives of fatty acids of chain length above c-10. Also forms diglyceride phosphates. Chemical name: Acyl-CoA:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 1-O-acyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.15 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycerol dehydratase | <enzyme> Requires a cobamide coenzyme Registry number: EC 4.2.1.30 (26 Jun 1999) |
