What's the difference between mannide and mannite?
Mannide
Definition:
(n.) A white amorphous or crystalline substance, obtained by dehydration of mannite, and distinct from, but convertible into, mannitan.
Example Sentences:

Mannite
Definition:
(n.) A white crystalline substance of a sweet taste obtained from a so-called manna, the dried sap of the flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus); -- called also mannitol, and hydroxy hexane. Cf. Dulcite.
(n.) A sweet white efflorescence from dried fronds of kelp, especially from those of the Laminaria saccharina, or devil's apron.
Example Sentences:

(5) Functional properties of rat brain mitochondria were different in Krebs-Ringer solution as compared to these in the media with mannit.

(7) None of the patients in the mannite group had hepatic encephalopathy stage III or IV, whereas 75% of the patients without mannite showed clinical signs of stage III or IV.
(8) The carotid chemoreceptors of narcotized, vagotomized and spontaneously breathing hydropenic cats in hypertonic mannite diuresis were stimulated by perfusion with venous blood penic cats in hypertonic mannite diuresis were stimulated by perfusion with venous blood for 70 min.
(9) It is concluded that mannit metabolised by mitochondria as other non-cell compounds, must not be in the media of incubation of mitochondria, while studying the oxidative phosphorylation mechanism.
(10) The strains of isolated staphylococci were with the test of the mannite, coagulase and hemolysins alpha and beta classified as 170 pathogens (12.37 per cent), 511 partially pathogens (37.19 per cent) and 693 non pathogens (50.44 per cent).
(11) Prostaglandins formed in the kidneys under the influence of mannit are involved in the mechanism of dilatation of the vessels of the cortical layer but do not play the significant role in the formation of its tubular effect.
(12) MR(SA)2 medium contained modified Müller-Hinton agar supplemented with 75 g of NaCl, 10 g of mannit, 20 mg of bromcresol purple, 20 g of egg-yolk, 4 mg of oxacillin, and 12.5 mg of ceftisoxime per 1,000 ml.
(13) This microorganism incertae sedis resembles from the biochemical aspect (oxidase+, mannite-, dextrose+ with gas) the species Pasteurella aerogenes; contrary to the latter it does not break down urea and differs also as regards the morphology of colonies, which on blood agar are coarser; it also has a higher content of G + C in DNA than Pasteurella.
(14) Each strain was investigated for: pigment, coagulase, hemolysis (alpha-toxin), phosphatase and penicillinase production and mannite fermentation.

(18) A variety of biological properties and signs characteristic of pathogenic staphylococci (hemolytic activity, anaerobic splitting of mannite, the presence of phosphatase, lysozyme, protease, alpha-toxin, fibrinolysin) were noted.
(19) Mannit was shown to increase the blood flow in the external, middle and internal zone of the renal cortex in anesthetized rats but exerts no effect on the blood supply to the external zone of the medullary layer.
(20) The detected changes in the indices of the ingestive and digestive function of neutrophils could be interpreted as a compensatory reaction of the organism in response to the action of chemical agents, whereas reduction of lysozyme content and the appearance in the microbial pattern of deep dermal layers of mannite-splitting and hemolytic froms of microbes pointed to the presence of the first unfavourable shifts in humoral and barrier immunity factors.
