  • (19) S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (Ado-met) administration to rats significantly improved liver necrosis induced by thioacetamide (TAA) as evidenced by reduction of TAA-elevated catalytic activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT).
  • (20) In a previous paper, the main mutagenic compound isolated from the model reaction system D-fructose, DL-alanine and creatinine was tentatively identified as 4,8-DiMeIQx.

Residue


Definition:

  • (n.) That which remains after a part is taken, separated, removed, or designated; remnant; remainder.
  • (n.) That part of a testeator's estate wwhich is not disposed of in his will by particular and special legacies and devises, and which remains after payment of debts and legacies.
  • (n.) That which remains of a molecule after the removal of a portion of its constituents; hence, an atom or group regarded as a portion of a molecule; -- used as nearly equivalent to radical, but in a more general sense.
  • (n.) Any positive or negative number that differs from a given number by a multiple of a given modulus; thus, if 7 is the modulus, and 9 the given number, the numbers -5, 2, 16, 23, etc., are residues.

Example Sentences:
