What's the difference between fibrin and syntonin?
Fibrin
Definition:
(n.) A white, albuminous, fibrous substance, formed in the coagulation of the blood either by decomposition of fibrinogen, or from the union of fibrinogen and paraglobulin which exist separately in the blood. It is insoluble in water, but is readily digestible in gastric and pancreatic juice.
(n.) The white, albuminous mass remaining after washing lean beef or other meat with water until all coloring matter is removed; the fibrous portion of the muscle tissue; flesh fibrin.
(n.) An albuminous body, resembling animal fibrin in composition, found in cereal grains and similar seeds; vegetable fibrin.
Example Sentences:
(1) On the basis of 180 interventions, they describe in detail the use of fibrin glue in myringo- and tympanoplasty for correct fixing of grafts.
(2) The agent present in the serum which causes dissolution of the fibrin clot was isolated and identified as pepsinogen.
(3) A cDNA library prepared from human placenta has been screened for sequences coding for factor XIIIa, the enzymatically active subunit of the factor XIII complex that stabilizes blood clots through crosslinking of fibrin molecules.
(4) The minimal change in gel fiber size caused by slow A release implies that fibrin fiber size is primarily a function of ionic environment and not of the sequence of peptide release.
(5) A variant t-PA (G K1 K2 P), which contained only one of the two fibrin binding sites, i.e.
(6) Only PPACK completely inhibited changes in fibrin degradation products, plasminogen and alpha 2-antiplasmin.
(7) We conclude that heparin plus AT III partially prevents the endotoxin-induced generation of PAI activity which seems to correlate with the reduced presence of fibrin deposits in kidneys and with a reduced mortality.
(8) Erythrocyte filterability, blood viscosity, changes in the blood picture, and three blood coagulation factors (antithrombin III, protein C, and fibrin monomers) were investigated.
(9) We conclude that gamma-(312-324) is hidden in fibrinogen and is exposed by the formation of fibrin.
(10) The organisms were predominantly associated with host deposits of erythrocytes, phagocytes, platelets, and fibrinous-appearing material, which collectively appeared on the valve surface in response to trauma.
(11) In addition, fibrin thrombi were noted in a wide variety of specific and nonspecific inflammatory bowel diseases and in acute appendicitis.
(12) This caused an increase in the amidolytic activity on low molecular weight peptide substrates, while plasminogen activation in the presence of fibrin markedly decreased.
(13) The data supports the concept of the role of fibrin as the bonding factor in Phase I adherence and implies that collagen, rather than elastin, is primarily responsible for early graft adherence.
(14) One factor that may influence the lipid deposition is immobilization of part of the LDL in lesions, and an immobilized fraction can be released by incubation with the fibrinolytic enzyme, plasmin, suggesting that it is associated with fibrin.
(15) In venous thrombi, soluble fibrin and fibrinogen exhibited maximum thrombus-blood ratios when they were injected 4 hours after thrombus induction; the thrombus-blood ratio was greater for soluble fibrin than it was for fibrinogen when these agents were injected 4, 8, or 24 hours after thrombosis induction.
(16) Concanavalin A was employed to study the role of platelet membrane glycoproteins in platelet-fibrin interactions during clot formation.
(17) The amino acid sequence of band 4.2 has homology with two closely related Ca2(+)-dependent cross-linking proteins, guinea pig liver transglutaminase (protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase; protein-glutamine: amine gamma-glutamyltransferase, EC 2.3.2.13) (32% identity in a 446-amino acid overlap) and the a subunit of human coagulation factor XIII (27% identity in a 639-amino acid overlap), a transglutaminase that forms intermolecular gamma-glutamyl-epsilon-lysine bonds between fibrin molecules.
(18) Unlike thrombin, the newly isolated kallikrein-like enzyme did not cause formation of a fibrin clot when fibrinogen was mixed with the enzyme.
(19) The haemostatic balance can basically be described as the equilibrium between fibrin formation (coagulation) and fibrin lysis (fibrinolysis).
(20) Circulating fibrin was found in patients with FMF in absence of clinical manifestation of thrombosis and was statistically less frequently observed in patients treated with colchicine.
Syntonin
Definition:
(n.) A proteid substance (acid albumin) formed from the albuminous matter of muscle by the action of dilute acids; -- formerly called musculin. See Acid albumin, under Albumin.
