Phosphite


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of phosphorous acid.

Example Sentences:

  • (14) Assays for phosphite removal by dilution or dialysis do not reverse the inhibition.
  • (15) The observed adaptation pattern, reflected by the alterations of phosphatase activity, was qualitatively equal with PO3-3 and PO3-2, but quantitatively different, because the response to hypophosphite gave much higher values than the increase obtained with phosphite.
  • (16) Data on the decreased toxicity of the phosphite mixture are explained from the viewpoint of a decreased pool disbalance of natural 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphates in cells; a significant pool disbalance is developed in the case of 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine action.
  • (17) Phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase inactivation by phosphite ion appears to be inconsistent with the concept of a Schiff base intermediate as proposed for Bacillus cereus enzyme.
  • (18) Reaction of 18 or 19 with triethyl phosphite gave, after deprotection, 6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-D-erythro-2,4-dihydroxyhexyl-phosphonic acid (5), and reaction of 19 with potassium cyanide gave, after subsequent hydrolysis and deprotection, 7-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-D-erythro-3-hydroxy-5-heptanolide (3).
  • (19) Triphenyl phosphite (TPP)-induced delayed neurotoxicity, which is thought to resemble but somewhat differ from classical organophosphate-induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN), is known to be age-dependent.
  • (20) Previous studies in mammals have found that exposure to triphenyl phosphite results in cellular and axonal degeneration in the spinal cord and medulla.

Phosphorus


Definition:

  • (n.) The morning star; Phosphor.
  • (n.) A poisonous nonmetallic element of the nitrogen group, obtained as a white, or yellowish, translucent waxy substance, having a characteristic disagreeable smell. It is very active chemically, must be preserved under water, and unites with oxygen even at ordinary temperatures, giving a faint glow, -- whence its name. It always occurs compined, usually in phosphates, as in the mineral apatite, in bones, etc. It is used in the composition on the tips of friction matches, and for many other purposes. The molecule contains four atoms. Symbol P. Atomic weight 31.0.
  • (n.) Hence, any substance which shines in the dark like phosphorus, as certain phosphorescent bodies.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the liver of albino rats with experimental thyrotoxicosis a study was made of nucleic acids and some indices of phosphorus metabolism: total and inorganic phosphorus, total and acid-soluble phosphorus, phosphorus of RNA, DNA and phosphoproteins.
  • (2) Hypertonic saline infusion induced significant (P less than 0.05) increases in serum Na and Cl concentrations and osmolality, whereas ISS induced a significant increase in serum Cl concentration and a significant decrease in serum phosphorus concentration.
  • (3) A low-protein, low-phosphorus diet supplemented with essential amino acids and keto analogues was given to 12 rats, starting from the 90th day after subtotal nephrectomy.
  • (4) In comparison with native counterparts, the in vitro-formed LDL2 and HDL + VHDL were characterized by lower levels of triglyceride and cholesterol ester and higher levels of free cholesterol and lipid phosphorus.
  • (5) Unsupplemented human breast milk may not provide sufficient calcium and phosphorus for the rapidly growing preterm infant to match the accumulation that should have taken place in utero and to permit normal bone mineralization.
  • (6) In 9 other patients studied 2-7 years after transplantation the mean level of parathormone was lower than in the previous group but levels above normal were noted in half of the patients, some of which had perfect renal function and normal serum phosphorus.
  • (7) The treatment regimens used were chemotherapy in 9 patients, antiaggregating agents in 7, radioactive phosphorus in 1, the newer platelet-lowering agent anagrelide in 10, and only observation in 29.
