| iron succinyl milk protein complex | <chemical> Soluble iron complex with 5% iron content produced by reacting succinylated milk protein and ferric chloride Synonym: iron succinyl protein complex, itf 282, itf-282 (05 Dec 1998) |
| iron sulfate | A soluble iron salt frequently used as an iron supplement in tablets and liquid preparations. Synonym: ferrous sulfate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iron-sulfur proteins | A group of proteins possessing only the iron-sulfur complex as the prosthetic group. These proteins participate in all major pathways of electron transport: photosynthesis, respiration, hydroxylation and bacterial hydrogen and nitrogen fixation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| total iron binding capacity | <biochemistry, haematology> A test that measures indirectly the transferrin level in the bloodstream. Transferrin is a protein that carries iron in the body. Normal values are 240 to 450 mcg/dl. This test is used to evaluate anaemia. Greater than normal total iron binding capacity can be seen in: iron deficiency anaemia, late pregnancy and polycythaemia vera. Lower than normal total iron binding capacity can be seen in cirrhosis, sickle cell anaemia, hypoproteinaemia, pernicious anaemia and haemolytic anaemia. The use of birth control pills can lead to increased total iron binding capacity measurements. Acronym: TIBC (12 Jan 1998) |
| extended insulin zinc suspension | A long-acting insulin suspension, obtained from beef, with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and a duration of action of 36 hours. Synonym: crystalline insulin zinc suspension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc | <chemistry, element> An essential trace element being an essential component of the active site of a variety of enzymes. Zinc has a high affinity for the side chains of cysteine and histidine. Zinc is present in tissues at levels of 0.1mM, but intracellular levels must be much lower. Abbreviation: Zn (18 Nov 1997) |
| zinc-65 | A radioactive zinc isotope that decays mainly by K-capture with a half-life of 243.8 days; used as a tracer in studies of zinc metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc acetate | <chemical> A salt produced by the reaction of zinc oxide with acetic acid. It is used as a pharmaceutic necessity for zinc-eugenol cement and also as an astringent, styptic, and formerly as an emetic. Pharmacological action: astringents, pharmaceutic aid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zinc arsenate | <chemical> A toxic compound of zinc and arsenic which is used as an insecticide and to preserve timber from decay. (11 May 1997) |
| zinc caprylate | A topical antifungal compound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc chloride | ZnCl2;formerly used as a caustic for the removal of cutaneous cancers, nevi, etc., and in weak solution in the treatment of gonorrhoea and conjunctivitis. Synonym: butter of zinc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc colic | Colic resulting from chronic zinc poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc compounds | Inorganic compounds that contain zinc as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zinc D-Ala-D-Ala carboxypeptidase | <enzyme> Involved in last step of peptidoglycan synthesis; resistant to penicillin; see also record for d-alanyl-d-alanine serine peptidases Registry number: EC 3.4.17.14 Synonym: d-alanyl-d-alanine peptidase, zn(2+)g, zn(2+)g d-ala-d-ala peptidase, zn-ala-ala peptidase, zn(2+)g d-alanyl-d-alanine peptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
