(Burke) 2. <mathematics> The number or sum obtained by adding one number or quantity to itself as many times as there are units in another number; the number resulting from the multiplication of two or more numbers; as, the product of the multiplication of 7 by 5 is 35.

| product inhibition | Inhibition of an enzyme activity by a product of the reaction catalyzed by that enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| product labeling | Use of written, printed, or graphic materials upon or accompanying a product or its container or wrapper. It includes purpose, effect, description, directions, hazards, warnings, and other relevant information. (12 Dec 1998) |
| product line management | Management control systems for structuring health care delivery strategies around case types, as in drgs, or specific clinical services. (12 Dec 1998) |
| product-moment correlation | A statistical procedure which yields the correlation coefficient referred to as r (-1.00 to +1.00) and involves the actual values, rather than the ranks (rank order) of the measurements. (05 Mar 2000) |
| product packaging | Form in which product is processed or wrapped and labelled. (12 Dec 1998) |
| product recovery | The process of separating a desired recombinant protein from the growth medium and the other elements in the host cells in which it was grown. (14 Nov 1997) |

| secondary product | <plant biology> End product of plant cell metabolism, which accumulates in or is secreted from, the cell. Includes anthocyanins, alkaloids, etc. Some are of major economic importance, for example as drugs. In contrast to a primary product that is involved in the vital metabolism of the plant. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pyruvate metabolism, inborn errors | Hereditary disorders of pyruvate metabolism. They are difficult to diagnose and describe because pyruvate is a key intermediate in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Some inherited metabolic disorders may alter pyruvate metabolism indirectly. Disorders in pyruvate metabolism appear to lead to deficiencies in neurotransmitter synthesis and, consequently, to nervous system disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spallation product | An atomic species produced in the course of the spallation of any atom. (05 Mar 2000) |
