What's the difference between granulose and iodine?
Granulose
Definition:
(n.) The main constituent of the starch grain or granule, in distinction from the framework of cellulose. Unlike cellulose, it is colored blue by iodine, and is converted into dextrin and sugar by boiling acids and amylolytic ferments.
Example Sentences:

(14) In contrast, LH initiated growth and increased granulosal cell aromatase activity in a small number of follicles and accelerated atresia among the remaining follicles.
(15) Cyclic 3'5'adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) was determined in thecal and granulosal tissue.
(16) The atresia of the primordial and primary follicles was manifested by disappearance of the oocyte and preservation of the granulose cells surrounded by basal lamina.
(17) These mutants lacked either (a) ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.27), or (b) granulose synthase (i.e.
(18) Developing follicles (8--12 granulosal layers) reappear by the afternoon of day 3; follicular development is still retarded by the afternoon of proestrus (day 4).
(19) Histone H2A competitively inhibits binding of GnRH to high affinity rat ovarian receptor sites and blocks gonadotropin-stimulated steroid and cAMP accumulation during culture of rat granulosal or luteal cells.
(20) Although both of these enzymes were constitutively synthesized by the wild-type organism, massive deposition of granulose in a sporulating culture coincided with a threefold increase in the specific activity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase.
Iodine
Definition:
(n.) A nonmetallic element, of the halogen group, occurring always in combination, as in the iodides. When isolated it is in the form of dark gray metallic scales, resembling plumbago, soft but brittle, and emitting a chlorinelike odor. Symbol I. Atomic weight 126.5. If heated, iodine volatilizes in beautiful violet vapors.
Example Sentences:
(1) Conversely, Tyr-52 and Tyr-147 were iodinated only in the dimer.
(2) The results indicated that roughly 25% of patients treated in this way will become hypothyroid after 5 years and that 85% are cured (need no further therapy during the follow-up period) using a single dose of iodine-131.
(3) Subunits maintained under the above ionic conditions were compared with 30S and 50S particles at low (6 mM) magnesium concentration with respect to the reactivity of individual ribosomal proteins to lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination.
(4) In conclusion, autoimmune thyroiditis in an animal model can be prevented by reducing thyroidal iodine or its metabolism and optimal effects require intervention at the embryonic stage.
(5) CCK-8 was acylated with the iodinated aryl azide derivatives, methyl-3-azido-4-hydroxy-5-[125I]iodobenzimidate and N-[4-(4'-azido-3'-[125I]iodophenylazo)benzoyl]-3-aminopropionyl-N- oxy- succinimide.
(6) Labeling experiments with fucose and glucosamine show that at least nine of the iodinated peptides may be glycoproteins.
(7) The first one is a region with iodine insufficiency; the second one is a region where the people use table salt in excess.
(8) Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and its concentration were measured in thyroid tissues obtained from patients with Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, differentiated thyroid cancer, and endemic goiter (before and after iodine supplementation) as well as in normal thyroid tissue (paranodular tissue) from patients with follicular adenomas.
(9) A decrease in neutrophil oxidative metabolism and iodination was observed, but there was no effect on neutrophil random migration or ADCC.
(10) The preparation and utilization of iodinated glycopeptides for sequence analysis is presented.
(11) Two hundred fifty-one cervical and 209 male urethral specimens from three Richmond health clinics were read by direct immunofluorescence staining and compared with cell culture technics using iodine staining.

(17) Marked resistance to lung damage by toxic thioureas could be induced in older, mature rats by pretreatment with the toxic agent itself (tachyphylaxis), with other toxic and non-toxic antithyroid drugs or with iodine or iodide--even if the rats were pretreated at an early age before susceptibility to the agent developed.
(18) This study analyzed the impact of prognostic variables of age, sex, histopathological diagnosis, extent of disease at diagnosis, and surgical intervention on well differentiated thyroid carcinoma and how surgical treatment, radioactive iodine, and radiotherapy influence the patients' outcomes.

(20) It has a number of advantages: it is far more rapid, less painful and offers good visualisation of the nerve roots as compared with air myelography; unlike myelography with iodine-based oils, it is not necessary to remove the contrast medium after the examination since Metrizamide is spontaneously resorbable.
