| glyceryl iodide | An organic form of iodine which slowly liberates iodine in the body after oral administration. Used primarily as an expectorant/mucolytic. Synonym: 3-iodo-1,2-propanediol, gamma-iodopropyleneglycol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glyceryl monostearate | The ester of glycerol and one molecule of stearic acid; used in the manufacture of cosmetic creams and dermatologic preparations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glyceryl triacetate | <chemical> A triglyceride that is used as an antifungal agent. Pharmacological action: antifungal agents, anti-infective agents, local. Chemical name: 1,2,3-Propanetriol, triacetate (12 Dec 1998) |

| glyceryl tricaprate | Tridecanoylglycerol;one of the substances found in butter upon which its flavor depends. Synonym: decanoin, glyceryl tricaprate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glyceryl trinitrate | <chemistry> A liquid appearing like a heavy oil, colourless or yellowish, and consisting of a mixture of several glycerin salts of nitric acid, and hence more properly called glycerin nitrate. It is made by the action of nitric acid on glycerin in the presence of sulphuric acid. It is extremely unstable and terribly explosive. A very dilute solution is used in medicine as a neurotic under the name of glonion. A great number of explosive compounds have been produced by mixing nitroglycerin with different substances; as, dynamite, or giant powder, nitroglycerin mixed with siliceous earth; lithofracteur, nitroglycerin with gunpowder, or with sawdust and nitrate of sodium or barium; Colonia powder, gunpowder with nitroglycerin; dualin, nitroglycerin with sawdust, or with sawdust and nitrate of potassium and some other substances; lignose, wood fibre and nitroglycerin. Pharmacologic action: Relaxes smooth muscle - dilates veins, dilates coronary arteries, reduces left ventricular filling pressure, lowers systemic vascular resistance, decreases myocardial oxygen demand. Uses: Treat angina pectoris. Dose: One tablet (0.3 to 0.4 mg) sublingual, may repeat twice at 5 minute intervals Intravenous infusion: 0.5 - 2 mcg/kg per min. Potential complications: May cause hypotension, especially if hypovolemic; headache is common. Alternative forms: nitroglycerine. Origin: Nitro- + glycerinn. (17 Mar 2000) |
| glyceryl trinitrate reductase | <enzyme> May be an enzyme system; from fungus phanerochaete chrysosporium; requires NADPH; forms glyceryl dinitrates, and ultimately, glyceryl mononitrates and no Registry number: EC 1.7.3.- Synonym: gtn-reductase, glycerol trinitrate reductase, gtn reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerylphosphorylcholine | <chemical> A methylamine osmolyte which counteracts the effects of urea on enzymes and other macromolecules. Chemical name: Ethanaminium, 2-(((2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)hydroxyphosphinyl)oxy)-N,N,N-trimethyl-, inner salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycide | <chemistry> A colourless liquid, obtained from certain derivatives of glycerin, and regarded as a partially dehydrated glycerin. Synonym: glycidic alcohol. Origin: Glyceric + anhydride. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| glycinate | 1. A salt of glycine. 2. Glycine anion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycine | <amino acid, physiology> The simplest amino acid. It is a common residue in proteins, especially collagen and elastin and is not optically active. It is also a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord and brainstem of vertebrate central nervous system. (18 Nov 1997) |
