| Ch | chest; Chido [antibody]; chief; child; choline; Christchurch [syndrome]; chromosome |
| ChA | choline acetylase |
| ChAC | choline acetyltransferase |
| choline phosphatase | <enzyme> An enzyme found mostly in plant tissue. It hydrolyzes glycerophosphatidates with the formation of a phosphatidic acid and a nitrogenous base such as choline. This enzyme also catalyses transphosphatidylation reactions. Chemical name: Phosphatidylcholine phosphatidohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.4.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of cytidylate (CMP) to choline phosphate to form CDPcholine. It is the rate-limiting enzyme in the choline pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine. Its activity is increased by glucocorticoids. Registry number: EC 2.7.7.15 (12 Dec 1998) |
| choline phosphokinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that is active in the first step of choline phosphoglyceride (lecithin) biosynthesis by catalyzing the phosphorylation of choline to phosphorylcholine in the presence of ATP. Ethanolamine and its methyl and ethyl derivatives can also act as acceptors. Chemical name: ATP:choline phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.32 (12 Dec 1998) |
| choline theophyllinate | A true salt of theophylline; it has mild diuretic, myocardial stimulating vasodilator, and bronchodilator actions, with the same uses as theophylline, but is better absorbed and less irritating. Synonym: choline theophyllinate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytidine diphosphate choline | <chemical> Donor of choline in biosynthesis of choline-containing phosphoglycerides. Pharmacological action: nootropic agents. Chemical name: Cytidine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-(2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl) ester, inner salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| administration, oral | The giving of drugs, chemicals, or other substances by mouth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cancer, oral | Cancer of the mouth area. A sore in the mouth that does not heal can be a warning sign of oral cancer. A biopsy is the only to know whether as abnormal area in the oral cavity is cancer. Oral cancer is caused by tobacco (smoking and chewing) and alcohol use. Surgery to remove the tumour in the mouth is the usual treatment for patients with oral cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidiasis, oral | Infection of the mucous membranes of the mouth by a fungus of the genus candida. (12 Dec 1998) |
| canine oral papilloma | Warts affecting mucous membranes of young dogs; caused by a papillomavirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesia and alumina oral suspension | A mixture of magnesium hydroxide and variable amounts of aluminum oxide; used as an antacid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pathology, oral | A dental specialty concerned with pathology of the oral cavity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pharyngo-oral | Relating to the pharynx and the mouth; oropharyngeal. Origin: pharyngo-+ L. Os (or-), mouth (05 Mar 2000) |
| combination oral contraceptive | A mixture of a steroid having progestational activity and an oestrogen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contraceptives, oral | Compounds, usually hormonal, taken orally in order to block ovulation and prevent the occurrence of pregnancy. The hormones are generally oestrogen or progesterone or both. (12 Dec 1998) |
| contraceptives, oral, combined | Fixed drug combinations administered orally for contraceptive purposes. (12 Dec 1998) |
