Alkaline
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to an alkali or to alkalies; having the properties of an alkali.

(14) At alkaline pH, the Schiff's base equilibrium can be continuously and specifically displaced by reduction in situ with sodium cyanohydridoborate, which on the other hand leaves intact the reacting aldehyde groups of oxidized tRNA.
(15) Rabbits eating Rabbit Chow excreted a very alkaline urine, but rats eating the same diet excreted much less alkali when expressed per kilogram of body weight.
(16) Conclusions derived from these studies are: 1) The model used is a valid means of studying in vivo luminal disappearance of PLP in the rat jejunum; 2) a major portion of the disappearance seems to involve hydrolysis by alkaline phosphatase; 3) a significant portion of this hydrolysis occurs intraluminally; and 4) a second mechanism of PLP disappearance, which is nonphosphatase-mediated, also appears operative and may represent absorption of the intact, phosphorylated vitamin.
(17) Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline fell significantly in patients receiving ND, whereas the biochemical indices of bone formation did not change (alkaline phosphatase) or increased (osteocalcin; P less than 0.01).
(18) Serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase were considerably elevated in shell-less embryos.
(19) An observed differential distribution of alkaline and acid phosphatase on the surfaces of growing bones may serve to describe transformative processes of bone growth.
(20) Alkaline treatment of 4, 5, 18, and 19 gave the corresponding adenosine 5'-(hydroxycarbonyl)phosphonate (14), guanosine 5'-(hydroxycarbonyl) phosphonate (15), 2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-(hydroxycarbonyl)phosphonate (20), and 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-(hydroxycarbonyl) phosphonate (21).
Alkalize
Definition:
(v. t.) To render alkaline; to communicate the properties of an alkali to.
Example Sentences:
(1) The effect of intravenously administered distilled water was examined alone and during alkalization in a patient with gross hematuria associated with the sickle cell trait.
(2) Cimetidine was extracted from alkalized plasma with ethyl acetate, washed once over hydrochloric acid, re-extracted into ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was evaporated to dryness.
(3) Sodium bicarbonate induced significantly higher base excess and PCO2 values, while the tris buffer mixture seemed to have a greater alkalizing effect intracellularly.
(4) In these experiments aqueous calciumhydroxide suspensions demonstrate the comparably highest alkalization combined with a profound longacting antimicrobial action.
(5) In contrast, the alkalization induced by AII was abolished by both amiloride and Na(+)-free medium.
(6) P. mirabilis caused the strongest alkalization in infected urine.
(7) We recommend fecal alkalization before lyophilization in future measurements of fecal energy excretion.
(8) Two patients required oral alkalizing agents as a result of persistent systemic acidosis.
(9) However, conditions that activate phosphofructokinase, such as addition of ammonium sulfate or fructose 2,6-bisphosphate or alkalization, removed the inhibition of hexokinase without noticeably affecting the glucokinase component of usage.
(10) Treatment consists of administration of urinary alkalizing agents and alpha-mercaptopropionylglycine.
(11) A randomized double blind study was carried out to determine whether alkalization of a 0.25% bupivacaine solution in a fentanyl-bupivacaine mixture hastened the onset, and increased the duration and quality, of extradural analgesia during labour.
(12) In contrast to the ATPase reactions, SDH activity was decreased equally, in both extra- and intrafusal fibres, with increasing acidity and alkality of the preincubation medium.

(16) Alkalization-stimulated Ca2+ release from vesicles is analyzed kinetically.
(17) If potassium is added in the presence of sodium, a further alkalization is obtained; in contrast, potassium addition in presence of Li+ or NH+4 does not change the internal pH.
