| acetone | <chemical> A colourless, flammable liquid which is used as a solvent (it is most familiar as the solvent in nail polish remover). The simplest ketone, it mixes with water, ethyl alcohol, and most oils. It melts at -95.4 deg C. And boils at 56.2 deg C. It is naturally found in very tiny quantities in the body fluids and tissues of healthy people and in somewhat larger amounts in people suffering from diabetes or starvation. (11 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| acetone body | <biochemistry> Any of the three compounds created by acetyl coenzyme A (acetoacetate, hydroxybutyrate, and acetone) which are water-soluble cellular fuels normally exported by the liver. They can build up in the blood and body tissues because of starvation, untreated diabetes mellitus, or other disorders that interfere with carbohydrate metabolism. The body rids itself of ketones mainly through urine, but it rids itself of acetone through the lungs, which gives the breath a characteristic fruity odour. If ketones build up in the body long enough, they cause serious illness and coma (see ketoacidosis.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| acetone-butanol fermentation | <biochemistry, microbiology> The formation of acetone and butanol through the fermentation of glucose by Clostridium acetobutylicum. However, most industrial plants make acetone and butanol through synthetic processes that use petrochemicals. (06 May 1997) |
| acetone carboxylase | <enzyme> An ATP-dependent carboxylase Registry number: EC 4.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetone chloroform | <chemical> A colourless to white crystalline compound with a camphoraceous odour and taste. It is a widely used preservative in various pharmaceutical solutions, especially injectables. Also, it is an active ingredient in certain oral sedatives and topical anaesthetics. Pharmacological action: preservatives, pharmaceutical, sedatives, nonbarbiturate. Chemical name: 2-Propanol, 1,1,1-trichloro-2-methyl- (12 Dec 1998) |

| acetone fixative | Acetone used at low temperatures to fix enzymes, particularly phosphatases; it removes fat and glycogen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetone-insoluble antigen | A diphosphatidyl glycerol that is found in the membrane of Treponema pallidum and is the antigen detected by the Wasserman test for syphilis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acetone monooxygenase | <enzyme> Converts acetone to acetol and acetol to methylglyoxal Registry number: EC 1.14.13.- Synonym: acetol monooxygenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetone test | A test for ketonuria; the suspected urine is shaken up with a few drops of sodium nitroprusside, and strong ammonia water is then gently poured over the mixture; if acetone is present, a magenta ring forms at the line of contact; tablets containing sodium nitroprusside and alkali are now more commonly used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic hyaline bodies | Large, poorly defined accumulations of eosinophilic material in the cytoplasm of damaged hepatic cells in certain forms of cirrhosis and marked fatty change especially due to alcoholism. Synonym: alcoholic hyalin, alcoholic hyaline bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Alder bodies | Granular inclusions in polymorphonuclear leukocytes; they take on a dark colour with Giemsa-Wright stain and react metachromatically with toluidine blue. See: Alder's anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyloid bodies of the prostate | An obsolete term for small masses of colloid material often present in the tubules of the gland. See: corpus amylaceum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic bodies | Small clusters of chemoreceptive and supporting cells located near the aortic arch, the pulmonary arteries, and the coronary arteries. The aortic bodies sense pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen concentrations in the blood and participate in the control of respiration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Arnold's bodies | Small portions or minute fragments of erythrocytes (sometimes mistaken for blood platelets), or small "ghosts" of erythrocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
