| indocyanine green | <chemical> A tricarbocyanine dye occurring as an olive-brown, dark green, dark blue, or black powder; used intravenously as a diagnostic aid in the determination of blood volume, cardiac output, and hepatic function. Pharmacological action: dyes. Chemical name: 1H-Benz(e)indolium, 2-(7-(1,3-dihydro-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-2H-benz(e)indol-2-ylidene)-1,3,5-heptatrienyl)-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-, inner salt, sodium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| Edridge-Green, Frederick | <person> English ophthalmologist, 1863-1953. See: Edridge-Green lamp. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Edridge-Green lamp | A lantern used to test recognition of coloured signals; it displays a single light with colour filters in rotating disks that can be modified to simulate conditions of weather and atmosphere. This test for colour blindness was officially adopted in Great Britain in 1915 in place of the Holmgren wool test, but is now seldom used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethyl green | The sulfate of di-(p-diethylamino)-triphenyl carbinolanhydride. An indicator dye that changes from yellow to green at pH 0.0 to 2.6; also used as a topical antiseptic and as a selective bacteriostatic agent in culture media. Synonym: ethyl green. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Janus green B | C30H31N6Cl; diethylsafraninazodimethylaniline chloride;a basic dye used in histology and to stain mitochondria supravitally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light green SF yellowish | An acid arylmethane dye, used as a cytoplasmic stain in plant and animal histology; fades badly in bright light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lissamine green dyes | Green dyes containing ammonium and aryl sulfonate moieties that facilitate the visualization of tissues, if given intravenously. They have mostly been used in the study of kidney physiology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Rambourg's chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, with which ultrathin tissue sections reveal complex carbohydrates in the same locations as shown by Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| a1-acid glycoprotein | <biology> Plasma protein of mammals and birds, 38% carbohydrate. In humans a single chain glycoprotein of 39 kD. Increased levels are associated with inflammation, pregnancy and various diseases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| abscisic acid | <biochemistry> A lipid hormone that inhibits cell growth in plants, it is associated with fruit drop, leaf death and seed dormancy. It is synthesised in the plastids from carotenoids. This hormone helps plants deal with water loss, and its effects can be reversed with gibberellins. (06 May 1997) |
| abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of abscisic acid to 8'-hydroxyabscisic acid, which rearranges to phaseic acid Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: aba 8'-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetic acid | <chemical> The acid most commonly associated with vinegar, it is the most commercially important organic acid and is used to manufacture a wide range of chemical products, such as plastics and Acetobacter but, except for making vinegar, is usually made through synthetic processes. Derivatives of acetic acid which may be formed by substitution reactions. Mono- and di-substituted, as well as, halogenated compounds have been synthesised. Experimentally, alpha- and n2- substituted acetic acids have been examined for their anti-inflammatory activity and effect on the central nervous system respectively. Additionally, limited exposure data has been collected on dibromo and dichloroacetic acids to determine whether they pose health effects. Synonym: ethanoic acid. (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetoacetic acid | CH3COCH2COOH;one of the ketone bodies, formed in excess and appearing in the urine in starvation or diabetes. Synonym: diacetic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
