What's the difference between melenite and selenite?
Melenite
Definition:
(n.) An explosive of great destructive power; -- so called from its color, which resembles honey.
Example Sentences:
Selenite
Definition:
(n.) A salt of selenious acid.
(n.) A variety of gypsum, occuring in transparent crystals or crystalline masses.
Example Sentences:
(1) After a resuscitation period of 4 h, the medium was made selective by addition of either sodium thiosulfate, bile salts and iodine, or sodium selenite and L-cystine.

(5) The less toxic seleno-di-N-acetylglycine was needed in larger molar doses and did not act as rapidly as selenite.
(6) DNA methylase isolated from selenite treated animals had only 43% of the activity as enzyme from control rats.
(7) The deposition of selenium (Se) in erythrocyte proteins was studied in rats fed Se as sodium selenite, selenocystine, selenomethionine (Se-Met), high Se wheat or selenium-enriched yeast.
(8) The effects of cadmium as cadmium acetate and selenium as sodium selenite on glucose output, cell viability, and glutathione levels in rat hepatocytes were evaluated.

(11) The severity of ischaemic lesion could be reduced by FRLP inhibition using antioxidative agents of sharply differing chemical nature (sodium selenite, alpha-tocopherol a.o.).
(12) An initial series of experiments, with hepatocytes in suspension, indicated that selenite-induced DNA fragmentation was oxygen dependent and could be inhibited by cyanide, HgCl2 and CuDIPS.
(13) Selenomethionine (10 ppm Se) resulted in an incidence of 13.1% malformations that were often multiple, whereas sodium selenite (10 and 25 ppm Se) resulted in 3.6 and 4.2% malformations.
(14) The increase or decrease of the sodium selenite dose by the factor ten had no effect on the preservation of the contractility of fragments of the heart-muscle after storage -196 degrees C in comparison to the control group.
