| tartrate | <chemistry> A salt of tartaric acid. Origin: Cf. F. Tartrate. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| trimeprazine tartrate | 10-[3-(Dimethylamino)-2-methylpropyl]phenothiazine tartrate;a phenothiazine compound related chemically and pharmacologically to promazine but with a more pronounced histamine-antagonizing action; used for the symptomatic relief of pruritus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levallorphan tartrate | 1-N-Allyl-3-hydroxymorphinan tartrate;the N-allyl analog of levorphanol, antagonistic to the actions of narcotic analgesics; used in the treatment of respiratory depression due to overdosage of narcotics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levorphanol tartrate | L-3-Hydroxy-N-methylmorphinan tartrate dihydrate;an analgesic similar in action to morphine. (05 Mar 2000) |

| L-tartrate dehydratase | <enzyme> From E coli; forms oxaloacetate and water; exists in an inactive low-molecular form, which is converted into the active enzyme in the presence of fe(2+) and thiol; related to class I fumarases Registry number: EC 4.2.1.32 Synonym: (r,r)-tartrate hydro-lyase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Rambourg's chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, with which ultrathin tissue sections reveal complex carbohydrates in the same locations as shown by Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain.

| a1-acid glycoprotein | <biology> Plasma protein of mammals and birds, 38% carbohydrate. In humans a single chain glycoprotein of 39 kD. Increased levels are associated with inflammation, pregnancy and various diseases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| abscisic acid | <biochemistry> A lipid hormone that inhibits cell growth in plants, it is associated with fruit drop, leaf death and seed dormancy. It is synthesised in the plastids from carotenoids. This hormone helps plants deal with water loss, and its effects can be reversed with gibberellins. (06 May 1997) |

| acetic acid | <chemical> The acid most commonly associated with vinegar, it is the most commercially important organic acid and is used to manufacture a wide range of chemical products, such as plastics and Acetobacter but, except for making vinegar, is usually made through synthetic processes. Derivatives of acetic acid which may be formed by substitution reactions. Mono- and di-substituted, as well as, halogenated compounds have been synthesised. Experimentally, alpha- and n2- substituted acetic acids have been examined for their anti-inflammatory activity and effect on the central nervous system respectively. Additionally, limited exposure data has been collected on dibromo and dichloroacetic acids to determine whether they pose health effects. Synonym: ethanoic acid. (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetoacetic acid | CH3COCH2COOH;one of the ketone bodies, formed in excess and appearing in the urine in starvation or diabetes. Synonym: diacetic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
