| metabolic equivalent | The oxygen cost of energy expenditure measured at supine rest (1 MET = 3.5 ml O2 per kg of body weight per minute); multiples of MET are used to estimate the oxygen cost of activity, e.g., 3 to 5 METs for light work; more than 9 METs for heavy work. (05 Mar 2000) |

| metabolic indican | 1. <chemistry> A glucoside obtained from woad (indigo plant) and other plants, as a yellow or light brown sirup. It has a nauseous bitter taste, a decomposes or drying. By the action of acids, ferments, etc, it breaks down into sugar and indigo. It is the source of natural indigo. 2. <physiology> An indigo-forming substance, found in urine, and other animal fluids, and convertible into red and blue indigo (urrhodin and uroglaucin). Chemically, it is indoxyl sulphate of potash, C8H6NSO4K, and is derived from the indol formed in the alimentary canal. Synonym: uroxanthin. See: Indigo. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| metabolic mucinosis | Diffuse or pretibial myxoedema, lichen myxoedematosus, gargoylism, secondary mucinosis, degeneration in tumours, localised mucinosis, follicular, papular, plaque-like, focal, and myxoid or synovial cyst. Origin: mucin + G. -osis, condition (05 Mar 2000) |
| metabolic pool | The quantity of a given chemical compound or group of related compounds participating in metabolic reactions; may constitute only a portion of the total bodily content of such compounds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compensated metabolic alkalosis | The retention of acid, primarily carbon dioxide by the lung and acid ions by the renal tubules, to reduce the effect on the pH of the blood of excess alkali produced by ingestion or metabolism of alkali-producing substances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| skin diseases, metabolic | Diseases of the skin associated with underlying metabolic disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| steroid metabolic clearance rate | A measure of the rate of metabolism of a given steroid within the body, usually expressed as liters of body fluid that contain the amount of steroid metabolised per day. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nutritional and metabolic diseases | A collective term for nutritional disorders (result of poor assimilation or utilization of food) and metabolic disorders (result of poor metabolism or inherited enzyme abnormality). (12 Dec 1998) |

| branched calculus | A calculus occurring in the renal pelvis, with branches extending into the infundibula and calices. Synonym: branched calculus, coral calculus, dendritic calculus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| calculus | A calcium salt concretion which forms on your teeth. Calculus deposits form on the teeth in areas which you do not floss or brush. If these concretions are left to build up on the tooth enamel, they will irritate the gum tissue, push it away from the tooth and promote progressive bone loss. Eventually the teeth can loosen and fall out. These deposits can be removed by a dentist or a dental hygienist on an annual to biannual basis. (renal) A solid concretion or stone which forms within the urinary tract (kidney). (27 Sep 1997) |
