Alation


Definition:

  • (n.) The state of being winged.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) During the diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of patients with acute leukaemia, and of those with terminal blastic crisis in chronic myelogenous leukaemia, the activity of total LDH, ALAT, AP, ASAT as well as the isoenzymes LDH-H, LDH-M were measured in the plasma.
  • (6) Average and specific individual courses of the following parameters are reported in this paper, with reference being made to eight of eleven clinical heart transplantations so far performed at the authors' department: lactate, pyruvate, myoglobin, ASAT, ALAT, GGT, CK, CK-MB, LDH, LDH-1, and glycogen phosphorylase.
  • (7) Other parameters such as: ALAT, LAP, G--GT and bilirubin were elevated most often in patients with viral hepatitis as well as in patients with obstructive jaundice.
  • (8) Serum amylase, ASAT (GOT), and ALAT (GPT) became normal parallel with body weight.
  • (9) The action of both noxae caused a drastical increase in enzyme activities in the initial phase lipase : 8-20 fold, ALAT: 7 fold, alpha-Amylase: 2.5 fold).
  • (10) There was no correlation between osteocalcin and blood calcium, blood phosphorus, ALAT, ASAT, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, albumin or bilirubin levels, or with the prothrombin time.
  • (11) We studied the relationship between the ratio of serum aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) to alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and histologic changes in human and experimental alcoholic liver disease.
  • (12) 316 clones were identified using electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel by 8 enzymes: PGI, PGM, 6-PGD, MDG, G-6-PGD, ME, ALAT, ASAT--and tested for pathogenic activity on golden hamsters.
  • (13) These were: secretion of bile, fluid pressure in the portal vein, the level of GPT (ALAT) transaminase, urea nitrogen, and glucose in the perfusate.
  • (14) The method showed corresponding results or identiy of all individuals tested with three representative enzymes (ALAT, glucosephosphate isomerase and adenylate kinase).
  • (15) A T.b.gambiense stock from man in Zaire had the ALAT pattern characteristic of T.b.gambiense from Senegal and Nigeria, together with the ASAT triplet found in most T.b.gambiense stocks.
  • (16) Ten serum parameters were determined: AP, ALAT, ASAT, GT, CK, urea, cholesterol, creatinine, total protein and albumin.
  • (17) For the assessment of liver functions designations AlAT, AspAT, FA, prothrombin index, bilirubin and iron content in serum, proteinogram and thymol turbility test were prepared and carried out.
  • (18) ASAT and ALAT mean values obtained with and without P5P in old people were similar to those found in young subjects.
  • (19) 135 stocks of Leishmania major from man, reservoir hosts and sandflies were characterized using thin-layer starch-gel electrophoresis of 13 enzymes: MDH, 6PGD, GD, SOD, ASAT, ALAT, PK, PGM, ES, NH, PEPD, MPI, GPI.
  • (20) Raised heaptic copper content did not always coincide with enhanced urinary copper excretion, but was significantly correlated with this parameter and also with ceruloplasmin, alkaline phosphatases, and vitamin-K-dependent clotting factors, but not with ALAT.

Halation


Definition:

  • (n.) An appearance as of a halo of light, surrounding the edges of dark objects in a photographic picture.

Example Sentences:
