| homovanillic acid | A test that measures the level of catecholamines or their metabolites in the urine. A 24 hour urine sample is necessary for this assay. Elevations may be seen in pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma. Normal urine levels of adrenaline should be: 0.5 to 20 mcg/ml and normal urine levels of noradrenaline should be 15 to 80 mcg/ml. (27 Sep 1997) |
| homovanillic acid test | A test for homovanillic acid based upon the fact that dopamine is present in sympathetic nervous tissue as precursor of norepinephrine; since norepinephrine has a metabolic pathway which yields homovanillic acid, tumours such as neuroblastomas and ganglioneuromas may cause elevations of urinary dopamine and homovanillic acid. Synonym: HVA test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homozoic | Relating to the same animal or the same species of animal. Origin: homo-+ G. Zoikos, relating to an animal (05 Mar 2000) |

| homeopathy |
A Western system of medicine that is based on the principle that 'like cures like' ?that is, the same substance that in large doses produces the symptoms of an illness cures it when administered in very small doses. Homeopathic physicians believe that the more dilute the remedy, the greater its potency. Therefore, homeopaths treat illness by using small doses of specially prepared plant extracts and minerals to stimulate the defence mechanisms and healing processes of the body.
