| levobunolol | <chemical> A nonselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist used in the treatment of glaucoma. Pharmacological action: adrenergic beta-antagonists, sympatholytics. Chemical name: 1(2H)-Naphthalenone, 5-(3-((1,1-dimethylethyl)amino)-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydro-, (S)- (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| levobunolol hydrochloride | (-)-5-[3-(tert-Butylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenonehydrochloride;a beta-adrenergic blocking agent used primarily as an eye drop in the treatment of chronic open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levocardia | <anatomy, embryology> Reversal of all of the abdominal and thoracic organs (situs inversus) except the heart which is still in its usual location on the left. This situation is far more of an anatomic mess than when all the organs including the heart are reversed to create a complete mirror image. Levocardia virtually always results in congenital heart disease (malformation of the heart or great vessels). (07 Mar 2000) |
| levocardiogram | That part of the bicardiogram, or normal curve, that is the effect of the left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levocarnitine | <drug> Used as a supplement for carnitine deficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levoclination | Synonym: levotorsion. Origin: Levo-+ L. Clino, pp. -atus, to bend (05 Mar 2000) |
| levocycleduction | Synonym: sinistrotorsion. 2. Rotation of the upper pole of the cornea of one or both eyes to the left. Synonym: levoclination. Synonym: levocycleduction. Origin: Levo-+ L. Torsio, a twisting (05 Mar 2000) |
| levocycloduction | Levotorsion of one eye. Origin: Levo-+ cyclo-+ L. Duco, pp. Ductus, to lead (05 Mar 2000) |
| levodopa | <chemical> The naturally occurring form of dopa and the immediate precursor of dopamine. Unlike dopamine itself, it can be taken orally and crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is rapidly taken up by dopaminergic neurons and converted to dopamine. It is used for the treatment of parkinsonism and is usually given with agents that inhibit its conversion to dopamine outside of the central nervous system. Pharmacological action: antiparkinson agents, dopamine agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| levoduction | Turning of one eye to the left; exduction of left eye or euduction of right eye. Origin: Levo-+ L. Duco, pp. Ductus, to lead (05 Mar 2000) |
| levoform | Denoting the structure of a substance that rotates the plane of polarised light counterclockwise (left). (05 Mar 2000) |
| levoglucosan dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of levoglucosan to 1,6-anhydro-ribo-hexopyranos-3-ulose; isolated from arthrobacter Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: 1,6-anhydro-beta-d-glucopyranose dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| levoglucose | D-Fructose. See: fructose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levogram | Electrocardiographic record in an experimental animal representing spread of impulse through the left ventricle alone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levogyrate | <chemistry> Turning or twisting the plane of polarization towards the left, as levulose, levotartaric acid, etc. Alternative forms: laevogyrate. Origin: Levo- + gyrate. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
