  • (17) It had been shown that thyroxine regulates the conversion of riboflavin to riboflavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in laboratory animals.
  • (18) The value of P of the enzyme is dependent on its concentration, indicating that the degrees of dissociation of FAD in the monomer and dimer are different.
  • (19) We now provide evidence for a major early onset FAD locus on the long arm of chromosome 14 near the markers D14S43 and D14S53 (multipoint lod score z = 23.4) and suggest that the inheritance of FAD may be more complex than had initially been suspected.
  • (20) Thus, the low activity resulting from an inherited deficiency of FAD is decreased further.

Oad


Definition:

  • (n.) See Woad.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) CR1 and CR3 were found to be present on the majority (> 85%) of circulating neutrophils from normal subjects, RA and OAD patients, and on synovial fluid neutrophils from both patient groups.
  • (5) Octanamide (OAD) was different from the other four amides investigated, having a high clearance (due to metabolic processes in the blood) and possessing the least anticonvulsant activity.
  • (6) This peak increases first with the progression of occlusive arterial disease (OAD) followed by a decrease at an advanced stage.
  • (7) Levels of IgG antibodies to denatured or native human type II collagen, rheumatoid factor, immunoglobulins, and total proteins were assessed in paired samples of serum and synovial fluid from 21 patients with RA and from 14 patients with OAD.
  • (8) However, other groups have been unable to confirm either the biochemical or behavioral findings of Pycock and associates (Joyce et al., 1983; Oades et al., 1986; Deutch et al., 1990).
  • (9) There was an inhibitory effect on IL-2 activity in the bioassay of synovial fluid from 16 of the 22 patients with RA and 15 of the 16 with OAD.
