| dietetic albuminuria | <nephrology> The excretion of protein in the urine following the ingestion of certain foods. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| intermittent albuminuria | <nephrology> Functional albuminuria occurring at intervals, such as cyclic albuminuria or albuminuria of athletes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orthostatic albuminuria | The appearance of albumin in the urine when the patient is erect and its disappearance when recumbent. Synonym: orthostatic proteinuria, postural proteinuria, postural albuminuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transient albuminuria | Albuminuria of a temporary or short-lived nature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| essential albuminuria | A collective term for types that are not the result of pathologic changes in the kidneys. Synonym: essential albuminuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| false albuminuria | Albuminuria resulting from the presence of blood escaping somewhere in the urinary tract, of chyle, or of some other albuminous fluid, not caused by filtration of albumin from the blood through the kidneys. Synonym: false albuminuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| febrile albuminuria | Albuminuria associated with fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional albuminuria | A collective term denoting types of benign albuminuria that are associated with physical exertion or other conditions in which there are physiologic changes such as during pregnancy or adolescence. Synonym: physiologic albuminuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lordotic albuminuria | So-called on the theory that the albuminuria results from pressure due to lordosis in the lumbar spine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate | An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; sometimes referred to as the "second messenger." A related compound (2',3') is also known. Synonym: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate. Acronym: cAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate forming 5'-AMP. A crucial step in the regulation of cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate levels. Inhibited by caffeine. Synonym: cAMP phosphodiesterase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine cyclic phosphate | An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; sometimes referred to as the "second messenger." A related compound (2',3') is also known. Synonym: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate. Acronym: cAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
| amino acids, cyclic | A class of amino acids characterised by a closed ring structure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| canine infectious cyclic thrombocytopenia | An infection of dogs with the rickettsia Ehrlichia platys characterised by recurrent cyclic thrombocytopenia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, cyclic AMP | Cell surface proteins that bind cyclic AMP with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. The best characterised cyclic AMP receptors are those of the slime mold dictyostelium discoideum. The transcription regulator cyclic AMP receptor protein of prokaryotes is not included nor are the eukaryotic cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins which are the regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases.
