Maximize


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To increase to the highest degree.

Example Sentences:

The effect of heparin was dose-dependent and specific (it was not duplicated by other glycosaminoglycans).
  • (9) Combining maximally effective concentrations of each of these stimulating agents produces an additive increase in both the level of 32P incorporation into tyrosine hydroxylase and the degree of activation of the enzyme.
  • (10) Using serial section electron microscopic reconstructions as a reference, we have chosen as our standard procedure a method that maximizes both the preservation of the cytoskeleton and the proportion of cells staining, while minimizing the degree of nonspecific staining.
