| amorphous insulin zinc suspension | Sterile suspension of insulin in buffered water for injection, modified by the addition of zinc chloride such that the solid phase of the suspension is amorphous; it contains 40 or 80 units per ml; the duration of action is equivalent to that of insulin injection. Synonym: amorphous insulin zinc suspension, semilente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| hindlimb suspension | Technique for limiting use, activity, or movement by immobilizing or restraining animal by suspending from hindlimbs or tails. This immobilization is used to simulate some effects of reduced gravity and study weightlessness physiology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| suspension | 1. A condition of temporary cessation, as of animation, of pain or of any vital process. 2. <pharmacology> A preparation of a finely divided drug intended to be incorporated (suspended) in some suitable liquid vehicle before it is used or already incorporated in such a vehicle.
