| omega 3 fatty acids | A class of fatty acids that have a double bond three carbons from the methyl moiety; reportedly, they play a role in lowering cholesterol and LDL levels. Synonym: omega-3 fatty acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| omega-6 desaturase | <enzyme> Catalyses desaturation at omega-6 carbon (sixth carbon from free end) Registry number: EC 1.44.99.- Synonym: fad6 gene product, fadc gene product, fad2-1 gene product, fad2-2 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| Omega-amidase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of a monoamide of a dicarboxylic acid to a dicarboxylate and ammonia Registry number: EC 3.5.1.3 Synonym: alpha-keto acid omega-amidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| omega-chloroacetophenone | <chemical> A potent eye, throat, and skin irritant. One of its uses is as a riot control agent. Pharmacological action: irritants, tear gases. Chemical name: Ethanone, 1-phenyl-, monochloro deriv. (12 Dec 1998) |
| omega-hydroxyleukotriene E4 dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Liver microsome enzyme converts omega-hydroxyleukotriene e4 to 20-carboxyleukotriene e4 Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: omega-hydroxy-lte4 dehydrogenase, 20-hydroxyleukotriene e4 dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| omega-n-methylarginine | <chemical> A competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthetase. Pharmacological action: enzyme inhibitors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| omega-oxidation | Oxidation at the carbon atom farthest removed (ω-carbon) from the carboxyl group (carbon 1); thus, in this pathway, a dicarboxylic acid is formed; an important pathway in the degradation of prostaglandins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| omega-oxidation theory | That the oxidation of fatty acids commences at the CH3 group, i.e., the terminal or omega-group; beta-oxidation then proceeds at both ends of the fatty acid chain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eicosapentaenoic omega 3-epoxygenase | <enzyme> Forms 17,18-dihydroxy-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid from 17(18)-epoxy-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid; from seminal fluid of primates and sheep Registry number: EC 1.14.13.- Synonym: eicosapentaenoic acid omega3 epoxygenase, ep omega3-epoxygenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ejection fraction | <cardiology> A measure of ventricular contractility, equal to normally 65 |
| fatty acids, omega-3 | A group of fatty acids, often of marine origin, which have the first unsaturated bond in the third position from the omega carbon. These fatty acids are believed to reduce serum triglycerides, prevent insulin resistance, improve lipid profile, prolong bleeding times, reduce platelet counts, and decrease platelet adhesiveness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| filtration fraction | The fraction of the plasma entering the kidney that filters into the lumen of the renal tubules, determined by dividing the glomerular filtration rate by the renal plasma flow; normally, it is around 0.17. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fraction | In chemistry, one of the separable constituents of a substance. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fraction collector | A device used to collect the eluate from a column in column chromatography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fraction I protein | <protein> See ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxidase RUBISCO). (18 Nov 1997) |
