| elements | Simple substances which cannot be decomposed by chemical means. They are made up of atoms which are alike in their peripheral electronic configurations, their chemical properties, and in the number of protons in their nuclei. They may differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. (12 Dec 1998) |

| elements, radioactive | Chemical elements which spontaneously transmute into another element with corpuscular or electromagnetic radiation. The natural radioactive elements are all those with an atomic number above 83, and some other elements, such as potassium (atomic number 19) and rubidium (atomic number 7), which are very weakly radioactive. (12 Dec 1998) |
| labile elements | Tissue cells, as of epithelium, connective tissue, etc., that continue to multiply by mitosis during the life of the individual. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fold-back elements | A type of transposable element that possesses long inverted repeats, such that when denatured, loops are formed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long interspersed elements | Long repetitive sequences in DNA with terminal repeats seen in human and mouse DNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aluminum magnesium silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (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) |
| magnesium | <chemical, element> An essential divalent cation. The major role is as the chelated ion in ATP and presumably other triphosphonucleotides. The magnesium ATP complex is the sole biologically active form of ATP. The other essential role of magnesium is as the central ion of chlorophyll. Cellular concentration is less than 5mM. Serum concentration approximately 1mM. Pharmacologic action: Hypomagnesemia can cause refractory ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Uses: known hypomagnesemic states - suspect hypomagnesmia in alcoholics, chronic disease states, or others with poor nutrition; treatment of choice for Torsade de Pointes. Dose: 1-2 grams IV push for cardiac arrest, over 1 to 2 minutes for Torsades, and over 5 to 60 minutes for acute myocardial infarction. Potential complications: Transient flushing and diaphoresis, sinus bradycardia, hypotension, hyporeflexia and paralysis with overdose. Abbreviation: Mg (15 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium aluminum silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium bacteriopheophytinate | <microbiology, plant biology> Varieties of chlorophyll (bacteriochlorophylls a, b, c, d, e and g) found in photosynthetic bacteria and differing from plant chlorophyll in the substituents around the tetrapyrrole nucleus of the molecule and in the absorption spectra. (18 Nov 1997) |
| magnesium benzoate | Has been used in gout and rheumatoid arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium-bicarbonate ATPase | <enzyme> Aspect of EC 3.6.1.3 Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: mg-hco3-atpase, atpase, magnesium-bicarbonate (26 Jun 1999) |
| magnesium carbonate | Used in gastric and intestinal acidity and as a laxative. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium chelatase | <enzyme> Catalyses the first committed step in chlorophyll biosynthesis by adding magnesium to protoporphyrin ix Registry number: EC 4.99.1- Synonym: mg-chelatase, magnesium-protoporphyrin chelatase (26 Jun 1999) |
