| carbohydrates and hypoglycaemic agents | A collective term for carbohydrates and agents used to lower the level of glucose in the blood. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| cardiovascular agents | Agents that affect the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter, or blood volume. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gaba agents | Substances used for their pharmacological actions on gabaergic systems. Gabaergic agents include agonists, antagonists, degradation or uptake inhibitors, depleters, precursors, and modulators of receptor function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation-protective agents | Drugs used to protect against ionizing radiation. They are usually of interest for use in radiation therapy but have been considered for other, e.g. Military, purposes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation-sensitizing agents | Drugs used to potentiate the effectiveness of radiation therapy in destroying unwanted cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vasoconstrictor agents | Drugs used to cause constriction of the blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vasodilator agents | Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reducing agents | Materials that add an electron to an element or compound, that is, decrease the positiveness of its valence. (12 Dec 1998) |
| renal agents | Drugs used for their effects on the kidneys' regulation of body fluid composition and volume. The most commonly used are the diuretics. Also included are drugs used for their antidiuretic and uricosuric actions, for their effects on the kidneys' clearance of other drugs, and for diagnosis of renal function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reproductive control agents | Substances used either in the prevention or facilitation of pregnancy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycine agents | Substances used for their pharmacological actions on glycinergic systems. Glycinergic agents include agonists, antagonists, degradation or uptake inhibitors, depleters, precursors, and modulators of receptor function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| menstruation-inducing agents | Chemical compounds that induce menstruation either through direct action on the reproductive organs or through indirect action by relieving another condition of which amenorrhoea is a secondary result. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chelating agents | Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination bonds with a central metal ion. Heterocyclic rings are formed with the central metal atom as part of the ring. Some biological systems form metal chelates, e.g., the iron-binding porphyrin group of haemoglobin and the magnesium-binding chlorophyll of plants. They are used chemically to remove ions from solutions, medicinally against microorganisms, to treat metal poisoning, and in chemotherapy protocols. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemical warfare agents | Chemicals that are used to cause the disturbance, disease, or death of humans during war. (12 Dec 1998) |
| riot control agents, chemical | Chemical substances which are employed during a riot in order to control or disperse the rioting parties. (12 Dec 1998) |
