(n.) A Peruvian name for certain species of Oxalis (O. crenata, and O. tuberosa) which bear edible tubers.
Example Sentences:

(3) An 8-hour urine collection after a 2-g tryptophan load showed at 6 times increased excretion of xanthurenic acid in those using OCAs as compared with nonusers.
(4) The reduction in the fractional loss of 45Ca, when going from normal Ringer's solution to an ONa--OCa medium, was 60%.
(5) Most cases of OCA are inherited on an autosomal recessive basis.
(6) Mechanism of action, indications, side effects and contraindications of oral contraceptive agents (OCA) are reviewed.
(7) This clinical and biochemical pattern has not been seen in any of the previously described types of OCA.
(8) The biochemical riboflavin status showed no relationship with the duration of OCA use.
(9) Minimal pigment, a new type of oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), is described.
(10) Finally, transient expression assay of mutant tyrosinase is invaluable to conclude that OCA phenotypes are associated with the mutant tyrosinase alleles.
(11) Several types of autosomal recessive oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) are associated with abnormal tyrosinase function and a generalized reduction in or absence of cutaneous and eye melanin.
(12) The preservation of drug sensitivity and resistance under the conditions of our organoid culture assay (OCA) was demonstrated by investigating 3 strains of a human hypopharynx carcinoma which differed by different sensitivity to cisplatin in in vivo conditions.
(13) No significant effect of OCA on serum zinc and on hair concentration of these trace elements was noted.
(14) Fractions OCA and OCD did not share common antigenic determinations as determined by immunodiffusion.
(15) Following SOC ablations, type 4 endings degenerated in the OCA ipsilateral to the lesion.
(16) Among these PASFs, PASFs from the cyst fluids of OCA in benign did not react with Arachis hypogaea anti-T lectin (PNA) and both of the anti-N lectins of Vicia graminea (VGA) and Vicia unijuga (VUA), and PASFs from OCA in borderline reacted with only PNA and PASFs from OCC in malignant reacted with the three lectins, PNA, VGA and VUA.
(17) OCA also occurs in a number of life-threatening conditions, including Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, Chediak-Higashi syndrome, and Griscelli-Prunieras syndrome.
(18) The OCA reaches cytological maturity at three weeks postnatally, after progression through four stages, defined on the basis of octopus cell cytology (including relative numbers of somatic and dendritic filopodia and spines) and the frequency, ultrastructure and location of previously defined synaptic terminals.
(19) Moreover, we are able to show the presence of additional DNA segments cross-hybridizable to exon 4 or exon 5 of the tyrosinase gene in the genome of three OCA patients and a healthy individual.
(20) Rhesus monkeys were given either high estrogen, low progesterone or low estrogen-high progesterone oral contraceptive agents (OCAs) and maintained on either a 16% protein diet or a 4% protein diet.
Ocra
Definition:
(n.) See Okra.
Example Sentences:
(1) Whereas the healthy control eyes showed large cyclic variations in both the c-wave amplitude and the SP, no oscillations in the c-wave amplitude were observed in the OCRA eyes at any stage, and the SP oscillations were barely detectable in these eyes.
(2) In the present study on four patients with OCRA the affected eyes showed diminished b- and c-waves.
(3) The findings of the present study strongly indicate that the SP and c-wave oscillations are related, and that they are either dependent on an intact inner retina or that the pigment epithelium-photoreceptor complex is functionally affected by OCRA.
(4) Experiments in progress on Cynomolgus monkeys with experimentally induced unilateral OCRA show similar results.
(5) Occlusion of the central retinal artery (OCRA), which causes serious damage to the inner retinal layers, should therefore not primarily be expected to affect the c-wave amplitude.
(6) Occlusion of the central retinal artery (OCRA) causes serious morphological damage only to the inner retina.
(7) If not taken into consideration, the marked difference in oscillations between the OCRA eye and the healthy eye may be a major source of error when comparing c-waves from the two eyes, and it seems that some of the conflicting results reported by others can be explained in this way.
(8) OCRA causes morphological damage to the inner retina but not to the pigment epithelium-photoreceptor complex, which generates the positive component of the c-wave, and where the SP is also believed to originate.
(9) In this study on five Cynomolgus monkeys with unilateral, laser-induced OCRA the c-wave was decreased, slightly in the early stage and markedly in the late stage.
