| uranyl acetate | <chemical> Uranium salt that is very electron dense and that is used as a stain in electron microscopy, usually for staining nucleic acid containing structures in sections. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| uranyl acetate stain | <technique> A stain used in electron microscopy; uranyl acetate binds specifically to nucleic acids but selectively tends to be abolished by osmium fixation; proteins are well stained, but cytomembranes are poorly stained. (05 Mar 2000) |

| 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate | A double ester of phorbol found in croton oil; a cocarcinogen or tumour promoter. Acronym: TPA (05 Mar 2000) |
| fludrocortisone acetate | 9a-fluoro-17-hydroxycorticosterone 9a-fluoro-11b,17a,21-trihydroxypregn-4-en e-3,20-dione 21-acetate;a potent mineralocorticoid. Synonym: 9a-fluorocortisol, 9a-fluorohydrocortisone acetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)acetate O-glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the metabolism of dda, the carboxylic acid of the insecticide ddt, to its acylglucoside; mw approx 50 kD; isoelectric point 4.9 Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: soybean o-glucosyltransferase, dda glucosyltransferase, dda-acylglucoside synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| fluperolone acetate | 9a-Fluoro-11b,17a,21-trihydroxy-21-methyl pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 21-acetate;a synthetic corticosteroid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flurogestone acetate | <chemical> A synthetic fluorinated steroid that is used as a progestational hormone. Pharmacological action: progestational hormones, synthetic. Chemical name: Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, 17-(acetyloxy)-9-fluoro-11-hydroxy-, (11beta)- (12 Dec 1998) |
| 5-methoxyindole-3-acetate | An intermediate of tryptophan and serotonin degradation; excreted as conjugates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 9a-fluorohydrocortisone acetate | 9a-fluoro-17-hydroxycorticosterone 9a-fluoro-11b,17a,21-trihydroxypregn-4-en e-3,20-dione 21-acetate;a potent mineralocorticoid. Synonym: 9a-fluorocortisol, 9a-fluorohydrocortisone acetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lead acetate | Has been used as an astringent in diarrhoea, and in aqueous solution as a wet dressing in certain dermatoses. Synonym: sugar of lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leuprolide acetate | A synthetic nonapeptide analog of naturally occurring gonadotropin-releasing hormone; used in the palliative treatment of advanced prostatic cancer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accelerator factor | <chemical> Heat- and storage-labile plasma glycoprotein which accelerates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in blood coagulation. Factor v accomplishes this by forming a complex with factor xa, phospholipid, and calcium (prothrombinase complex). Deficiency of factor v leads to owren's disease. Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor V (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal weight factor | A postulated substance of adenohypophysial origin responsible for maintenance of the weight of the adrenal cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenocorticotropic releasing factor | Hormone produced by hypothalamus that causes pituitary to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
