Tellurium
Definition:
(n.) A rare nonmetallic element, analogous to sulphur and selenium, occasionally found native as a substance of a silver-white metallic luster, but usually combined with metals, as with gold and silver in the mineral sylvanite, with mercury in Coloradoite, etc. Symbol Te. Atomic weight 125.2.
Example Sentences:
(1) Beryllium, cadmium, and tellurium assay data are reported for the fresh tissues of albino rats exposed to inorganic chemicals by oral or intraperitoneal routes.
(2) One of the earliest ultrastructural abnormalities in tellurium neuropathy is an increased number of cytoplasmic lipid droplets in myelinating Schwann cells.
(3) Exposure to tellurium resulted in an early marked decrease of approximately 50% in overall incorporation of [14C]acetate into lipids, with a preferential depression in synthesis of cerebrosides, cholesterol, and ethanolamine plasmalogens (components enriched in myelin).
