| calcium isotopes | Stable calcium atoms that have the same atomic number as the element calcium, but differ in atomic weight. Ca-42-44, 46, and 48 are stable calcium isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| calcium lactate | Used as a calcium replenisher. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium lactophosphate | A mixture of calcium lactate, calcium acid lactate, and calcium acid phosphate; used as a calcium and phosphorus dietary supplement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium leucovorin | <drug> The calcium salt of leucovorin (folinic acid); used to counteract toxic effects of folic acid antagonists, for the treatment of megaloblastic anaemias, and as an adjunct to cyanocobalamin in pernicious anaemia. Synonym: calcium folinate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium levulinate | A hydrated calcium salt of levulinic acid; it has the usual effects of calcium administered orally or intravenously. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium magnesium-atpase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP and is activated by millimolar concentrations of either calcium or magnesium. Unlike calcium-transporting atpase it does not require the second divalent cation for its activity, and is not sensitive to orthovanadate. Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium magnesium dependent endodeoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> Similar in action but different from dnase i Registry number: EC 3.1.21.- Synonym: ca mg dnase, ca(2+)+mg(2+) dnase, calcium-magnesium endonuclease, ca-mg endonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| calcium mandelate | Calcium salt of mandelic acid; a urinary anti-infective agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium metabolism | A set of biochemical processes which act to keep the level of calcium in the blood at a constant level, with enough around to build bones and teeth. (09 Oct 1997) |
| calcium metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of calcium in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium monohydrogen phosphate | CaHPO4-2H2O;used as a calcium and phosphorus dietary supplement. Synonym: calcium monohydrogen phosphate, secondary calcium phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium oxalate | <chemical> Ethanedioic acid calcium salt. The calcium salt of oxalic acid, occurring in the urine as crystals and in certain calculi. Chemical name: Ethanedioic acid, calcium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium oxide | <chemical> A chemical compound with the formula CaO which is a whitish, odourless solid that does not dissolve well in water. It will, however, react with water (H20) to form calcium hydroxide (CaOH, a base). It has a melting point of 2614 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 2850 degrees Celsius. It can be made by heating calcium carbonate (CaCO3, limestone) until carbon dioxide (CO2) is released. It has a great many industrial uses. (09 Oct 1997) |
| calcium pantothenate | The calcium salt of pantothenic acid; a vitamin B filtrate factor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium phosphates | Calcium salts of phosphoric acid. These compounds are frequently used as calcium supplements. (12 Dec 1998) |
