| serotonin agonists | Agents that have an affinity for serotonin receptors and are able to mimic the effects of serotonin by stimulating the physiologic activity at the cell receptors. These compounds are used as antidepressants, anxiolytics, and in the treatment of migraine. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| serotonin antagonists | Drugs that bind to but do not activate serotonin receptors, thereby blocking the actions of serotonin or serotonin agonists. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serotonin uptake inhibitors | Compounds that specifically inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. This increases the serotonin concentration in the synaptic cleft which then activates serotonin receptors to a greater extent. These agents have been used in treatment of depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive behaviour, and alcoholism, as analgesics, and to treat obesity and bulimia. Many of the adrenergic uptake inhibitors also inhibit serotonin uptake; they are not included here. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serotonin-binding protein kinase | <enzyme> An aspect of protein kinases EC 2.7.1.37 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: sbp kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| serotype | <immunology> The genotype of a unicellular organism as defined by antisera against antigenic determinants expressed on the surface. (28 May 1998) |
| serous | <physiology> Thin; watery; like serum; as the serous fluids. Of or pertaining to serum; as, the serous glands, membranes, layers. <anatomy> See serous membrane. Origin: Cf. F. Sereux. (12 May 1998) |
| serous atrophy | A degenerative change occurring in fat cells, the fat being absorbed and its place being taken by a serous fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous cell | A cell, especially of the salivary gland, that secretes a watery or thin albuminous fluid, as opposed to a mucous cell. Synonym: albuminous cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous coat | serous membrane |
| serous cyst | A cyst containing clear serous fluid, such as a hygroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous demilunes | The serous cells at the distal end of a mucous, tubuloalveolar secretory unit of certain salivary glands. Synonym: Giannuzzi's crescents, Giannuzzi's demilunes, Heidenhain's crescents, Heidenhain's demilunes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous diarrhoea | Diarrhoea characterised by watery stools. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous gland | An exocrine gland that produces a watery, protein rich secretion, as opposed to a carbohydrate rich mucous secretion. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serous haemorrhage | An obsolete term for a profuse transudation of plasma through the walls of the capillaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous inflammation | An exudative inflammation in which the exudate is predominantly fluid (e.g., exuded from the blood vessels), with the protein, electrolytes, and other material contained therein; relatively few (if any) cells are observed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serology |
(adj: serological) The study of serum reactions between an antigen and its antibody. Serology is mainly used to identify and distinguish between antigens, such as those specific to micro-organisms or viruses. Serology is also employed as an indicator technique to assay plants suspected of being virus-infected.
