| end product | <biochemistry> The final product of after a series of reactions with enzymes in a biochemical metabolic pathway has taken place. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| end product inhibition | <biochemistry, physiology> The process of the end product of a particular metabolic reaction inhibiting an allosteric enzyme involved in that reaction as the reaction starts again, thus breaking the reaction cycle. (09 Oct 1997) |

| end stage | The late, fully developed phase of a disease; e.g., in end-stage renal disease, a shrunken and scarred kidney that may result from a variety of chronic diseases that have become indistinguishable in their effect on the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| end-stage renal disease | <nephrology> A patient with inadequate renal function to support life. Individuals with end-stage disease must rely in kidney dialysis or peritoneal dialysis to survive.

| Krause's end bulbs | Nerve terminals in skin, mouth, conjunctiva, and other parts, consisting of a laminated capsule of connective tissue enclosing the terminal, branched, convoluted ending of an afferent nerve fibre; generally believed to be sensitive to cold. Synonym: corpuscula bulboidea, bulboid corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flush end | <molecular biology> The ends of a blunt-end DNA molecule, where both strands in the double-stranded DNA molecule are even with each other rather than one strand being longer than the other. (09 Oct 1997) |
