| induced symptom | A symptom excited by a drug, exercise, or other means, often intentionally for diagnostic purposes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced trance | The artificially induced state of hypnosis or of somnambulistic trance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodine-induced hyperthyroidism | <endocrinology> Induction of thyrotoxicosis in a previously euthyroid individual as a result of exposure to large quantities of iodine. It occurs most often in areas of endemic iodine-deficient goiter and in patients with multinodular goiter. It can also can develop following use of iodine-containing agents for diagnostic studies. Synonym: iodine-induced hyperthyroidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| effort-induced thrombosis | <syndrome> Stress thrombosis or spontaneous thrombosis of the subclavian or axillary vein; a thoracic-outlet syndrome. Synonym: effort-induced thrombosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exercise-induced amenorrhoea | The temporary cessation of menstrual function due to strenuous, daily exercise, as in jogging; increased endorphins inhibiting hypothalamic function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| familial fat-induced hyperlipaemia | Hyperlipoproteinaemia characterised by the presence of large amounts of chylomicrons and triglycerides in the plasma when the patient has a normal diet, and their disappearance on a fat-free diet; low alpha-and beta-lipoproteins on a normal diet, with increase on fat-free diet; decreased plasma postheparin lipolytic activity; and low tissue lipoprotein lipase activity. It is accompanied by bouts of abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, pancreatitis, and eruptive xanthomas; autosomal recessive inheritance. See: familial lipoprotein lipase inhibitor. Synonym: Burger-Grutz syndrome, familial fat-induced hyperlipaemia, familial hyperchylomicronaemia, familial hypertriglyceridemia, idiopathic hyperlipaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lens-induced uveitis | Intraocular inflammation occurring after extracapsular cataract extraction;probably an immune reaction to the patient's liberated lenticular proteins. Synonym: lens-induced uveitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leucine-induced hypoglycaemia | Rare cause of hypoglycaemia occurring following ingestion of leucine. Seen especially in infants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligand induced endocytosis | The formation of coated pits and then coated vesicles as a consequence of the interaction of ligand with receptors, which then interact with clathrin and associated proteins (coatomers) on the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane and come together to form a pit. Not all coated vesicle uptake of receptors requires receptor occupancy. (18 Nov 1997) |
