| 설명 | 염기, 당, 인산으로 이루어진 뉴클레오티드가 긴 사슬 모양으로 중합된 고분자 물질. 유전이나 단백질 합성을 지배하는 중요한 물질로, 생물의 증식을 비롯한 생명 활동 유지에 중요한 작용을 한다. 구성 당인 오탄당이 리보오스인 리보핵산과 디옥시리보오스인 디옥시리보 핵산으로 나뉜다. 펜토스로서 리보스나 데옥시리보스 어느 한쪽만을 포함하며 전자를 리보핵산(RNA), 후자를 데옥시리보핵산(deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA)이라 부른다. 모두 4종류의 유기염기에 의해 특징지어지며 아데닌, 구아닌 및 시토신은 양자에 공통이다. 티민은 DNA에, 우라실은 RNA에 포함된다. DNA는 주로 핵에 존재하며 형질유전에 그리고 RNA는 세포질속에서 단백질 합성에 관여한다. 섭취된 핵산은 소화관에서 구성분자로까지 가수분해되어 흡수된다. |

| potassium chlorate | Chlorate of potash, KClO3, used as a mouthwash and gargle in stomatitis and follicular pharyngitis; it is incompatible in the dry state with all easily oxidizable substances. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| potassium chloride | <chemical> Potassium chloride. A white crystal or crystalline powder used as an electrolyte replenisher, in the treatment of hypokalaemia, in buffer solutions, and in fertilisers and explosives. Chemical name: Potassium chloride (KCl) (12 Dec 1998) |
| potassium citrate | <chemical> A systemic alkaliser, electrolyte replenisher, diuretic, and expectorant, usually administered orally. It is sometimes used in veterinary medicine as a nonirritating diuretic. Pharmacological action: diuretics, expectorants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| potassium compounds | Inorganic compounds that contain potassium as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| potassium cyanide | <chemical> Potassium cyanide (k(cn)). A highly poisonous compound that is an inhibitor of many metabolic processes, but has been shown to be an especially potent inhibitor of haem enzymes and haemproteins. It is used in many industrial processes. Pharmacological action: enzyme inhibitors, poisons. Chemical name: Potassium cyanide (K(CN)) (12 Dec 1998) |
| potassium deficiency | A condition due to decreased dietary intake of potassium, as in starvation or failure to administer in intravenous solutions, or to gastrointestinal loss in diarrhoea, chronic laxative abuse, vomiting, gastric suction, or bowel diversion. Severe potassium deficiency may produce muscular weakness and lead to paralysis and respiratory failure. Muscular malfunction may result in hypoventilation, paralytic ileus, hypotension, muscle twitches, tetany, and rhabomyolysis. Nephropathy from potassium deficit impairs the concentrating mechanism, producing polyuria and decreased maximal urinary concentrating ability with secondary polydipsia. (merck manual, 16th ed) (12 Dec 1998) |
| potassium dichromate | <chemical> Chromic acid (h2cr2o7), dipotassium salt. A compound having bright orange-red crystals and used in dyeing, staining, tanning leather, as bleach, oxidiser, depolariser for dry cells, etc. Medically it has been used externally as an astringent, antiseptic, and caustic. When taken internally, it is a corrosive poison. Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, local, astringents, caustics, dyes. Chemical name: Chromic acid (H2Cr2O7), dipotassium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| potassium, dietary | Potassium or potassium compounds used in foods or as foods. (12 Dec 1998) |
| potassium ferrocyanide | K4Fe(CN)63H2O;yellow prussiate of potash, used in the preparation of various cyanides and in medicine as an antidote to copper sulfate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium gluconate | Gluconic acid potassium salt, used in hypokalaemia as a replenisher. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium guaiacolsulfonate | C6H3OHOCH3SO3K;used as an expectorant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium hydroxide | KOH;a strong, penetrating caustic. Synonym: caustic potash. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium hypophosphite | KH2PO2;formerly believed to have a tonic effect upon the nervous system; may be explosive if triturated or heated with oxidizing agents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium inhibition | Arrest of the heart in the fully relaxed state as a result of potassium intoxication. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium iodate | KIO3;an oxidizing agent and disinfectant. (05 Mar 2000) |
