| basal metabolism | <biochemistry, biology> Heat production, or its measurement, of an organism at the lowest level of cell chemistry in an inactive, awake, fasting state. It may be determined directly by means of a calorimeter or indirectly by calculating the heat production from an analysis of the end products of oxidation within the organism or from the amount of oxygen utilised.

| calcium metabolism | A set of biochemical processes which act to keep the level of calcium in the blood at a constant level, with enough around to build bones and teeth. (09 Oct 1997) |
| calcium metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of calcium in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbohydrate metabolism | <biochemistry> The breakdown of starches and sugars into smaller units that can be used by the body for energy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| respiratory metabolism | The exchange of respiratory gases in the lungs, oxidation of foodstuffs in the tissues, and production of carbon dioxide and water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metabolism | <biochemistry> The sum of all the physical and chemical processes by which living organised substance is produced and maintained (anabolism) and also the transformation by which energy is made available for the uses of the organism (catabolism). Origin: Gr. Metaballein = to turn about, change, alter (18 Nov 1997) |
| phosphorus metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of phosphorus in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| water of metabolism | The water formed in the body by oxidation of the hydrogen of the food, the greatest amount being produced in the metabolism of fat (about 117 g/100 g of fat). Synonym: water of combustion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary metabolism | Metabolic processes central to most cells; e.g., biosynthesis of macromolecules, energy production, turnover, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protein metabolism | Decomposition and synthesis of protein in the tissues. Synonym: proteometabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| xenobiotic metabolism | <biochemistry> This is the sum of the physical and chemical changes that affect foreign substances in living organisms from uptake to excretion. (09 Oct 1997) |
| secondary metabolism | Pathways producing specialised metabolic products that are not found inevery cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| intermediary metabolism | Enzyme-catalysed processeswithin cells that extract energy from nutrientmolecules and use that energy to construct cellular components. (09 Oct 1997) |
| iron metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of iron in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oxidative metabolism | Respiration in the biochemical sense. (18 Nov 1997) |
