What's the difference between carnosity and caruncle?
Carnosity
Definition:
(n.) A fleshy excrescence; esp. a small excrescence or fungous growth.
(n.) Fleshy substance or quality; fleshy covering.
Example Sentences:

(9) Carnosol and carnosic acid (active components of rosemary extract), flavonoids (morin, quercetin, fisetin, myricetin), other plant phenolics (gossypol) and propyl gallate may protect lipids against oxidative damage but have the potential to increase damage to non-lipid constituents of foods, such as carbohydrates and DNA.
(10) Both carnosol and carnosic acid stimulated DNA damage in the bleomycin assay but they scavenged hydroxyl radicals in the deoxyribose assay.

(12) Carnosol and carnosic acid have been suggested to account for over 90% of the antioxidant properties of rosemary extract.
(13) Purified carnosol and carnosic acid are powerful inhibitors of lipid peroxidation in microsomal and liposomal systems, more effective than propyl gallate.

(15) The calculated rate constants for reaction with .OH in the deoxyribose system for carnosol and carnosic acid were 8.7 x 10(10) M-1 s-1 and 5.9 x 10(10) M-1 s-1 respectively.
(16) The pathologies arising greater interest are lithiasis and carnosities.
(17) Until now it was only possible to prepare carnosic acid by hydrogenolysis of carnosol.
(18) Carnosic acid appears to scavenge H2O2, but it could also act as a substrate for the peroxidase system.
Caruncle
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Caruncula
Example Sentences:
(1) By means of hybridization of nucleic acid, we detected DNA specific for papilloma virus, type 6a, in a caruncle papilloma of a 45-year-old female patient suffering from genital warts.
(2) We describe two patients with different adnexal locations of localized extramedullary plasmacytomas, one under the conjunctiva of the caruncle and the other under the tarsal conjunctiva.
(3) The caruncle and 16 control sheep, each with indwelling vascular catheters, were studied between 121 and 130 days of pregnancy.
(4) Weights of the fetus, fetal membranes, cotyledons, caruncles, and uterus were recorded as were weights of the fetal liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, lungs, stomach complex, intestines, and semitendinosus muscle.
(5) It was concluded that collagenase caused collagenolysis and loosening of cotyledon from caruncle, but collagenolysis and cotyledon-caruncle separation were not facilitated by the presence of hyaluronidase.
(6) Total uterine blood flow measured with isotope-labeled microspheres rose more than tenfold following 30 microgram per kilogram of either estrogen, as did blood flow to the myometrium, endometrium, and uterine caruncles (p less than 0.05).
(7) prescapular) lymph nodes and uterine caruncles, cotyledons or foetal tissues.
(8) in whom the external genitalia and urethra were closely examined, a urethral caruncle was noted in 1 pt.
(9) In subsequent pregnancies, half the caruncle fetuses were growth retarded or small (weight more than 2 SD below mean weight for control fetuses) with the remainder, normal-sized (weight within 2 SD of mean weight for control fetuses).
(10) The investigation was performed in fetal cotyledons, which are attached to uterine caruncles to form units, called placentons.
(11) C. jejuni colonies were identified in caruncles and placenta by light microscopy and immunoperoxidase techniques.
(12) All the birds fed zearalenone frequently showed strutting behavior, displayed an increased size and coloration of caruncles and dewlaps, and had swollen vent tissue.
(13) Tumor resection was performed under the preoperative diagnosis of caruncles, but, histopathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma.
(14) The pigmentation on or round the cornea is independent of iris colour in Caucasians, but is related to melanosis of the bulbar conjunctiva, the caruncle and the plica semilunaris.
(15) The results indicate that fetal growth retardation due to restriction of placental growth after removal of endometrial caruncles is associated with chronic hypoxaemia, polycythaemia and hypoglycaemia.
(16) Intrauterine growth retardation was induced by removal of endometrial caruncles in the ewe prior to conception thereby reducing the size of the placenta in a subsequent pregnancy.
(17) Oxygen tension (P02) and content in the common umbilical vein and in the descending aorta were significantly lower in small caruncle fetuses compared to controls but only P02 was lower in normal-sized caruncle fetuses.
