■ ADJECTIVE

■ NOUN
blood
▪
They are mineral salts which are contained in the blood plasma of the horse and they are vital for fluid balance.
▪
Sweat is derived from blood plasma and blood salts.
▪
She was given pain relieving drugs and placed on intravenous drips to replace vital blood plasma and fluids.
cell
▪
In the same biopsy infiltration of the mucosal stroma by a large number of lymphocytes and plasma cells were seen.
▪
These plasma cells produce a homogeneous immunoglobulin protein which stains as a well-defined peak in the gamma region.
▪
Reduced numbers of intestinal mucosal plasma cells have been reported, with a return to normal values after antibiotic treatment.
▪
Bone destruction is commonly seen in this disorder with the plasma cells forming densely packed groups in the lytic areas.
▪
Superficial plasma cells infiltrated underlying lymphoid cells.
▪
In Bence Jones proteinuria there is an oVerproduction of one type of light chain by a single clone of plasma cells .
▪
Therefore, the plasma cells produce either an excessive amount of kappa light chains or an excessive amount of lambda light chains.
concentration
▪
Its usefulness in this disease has been questioned, and a maximum efficacy was obtained in one report at lower plasma concentrations .
▪
The results of gastric juice against plasma concentrations according to H pylori status are shown in Figure 3.
▪
The acute phase response also involves changes in the plasma concentrations of a number of liver synthesised proteins.
gastrin
▪
Helicobacter pylori increases plasma gastrin concentrations by 50% to 100% and values fall to normal after the organism has been eradicated.
▪
Despite this reduction in plasma gastrin , no consistent changes in rates of acid secretion have been documented after eradication treatment.
▪
The plasma gastrin concentrations increased from group to group as expected from the dose given.
▪
We therefore also plotted individual dose-response curves of log plasma gastrin against the basal-subtracted acid output.
▪
Discussion Our current results confirm that treatment which both heals duodenal ulcers and eradicates H pylori significantly decreases basal plasma gastrin concentrations.
▪
In another study by Ryberg etal the enterochromaffin like cell labelling index was shown to increase linearly with the plasma gastrin concentration.
▪
The plasma gastrin concentrations in the various groups increased in the same order of magnitude as expected from the gastrin dose given.
glucose
▪
Achieved plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were determined as the mean of the 50, 55, and 60 minute samples.
▪
Six subjects did not consent to a glucose tolerance test and tolerance was determined from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations.
membrane
▪
It ought to help you locate our protein in cellular plasma membranes .
▪
Within the epidermal cells microtubules connect the desmosomes of the interdigitating regions with cone-like depressions of the outer epidermal plasma membrane .
▪
The distributional asymmetries of phospholipids in the plasma membrane of erythrocytes and platelets are shown in Fig. 2.
▪
Firstly, by studying radiolabelled ion uptake into isolated plasma membrane vesicles.
▪
Carbachol, gastrin, and histamine all bind to specific receptors on parietal cell plasma membranes .
▪
The plasma membrane is also thought to be far less rigid a structure than originally proposed.
potassium
▪
HYPOKALEMlA A low plasma potassium concentration is not always accompanied by a deficit in total body potassium.
▪
Occasionally, a substantially increased platelet or white cell count may lead to apparent increases in plasma potassium concentration.
protein
▪
Secondly, there is an enhanced permeability of the abomasal epithelium to macromolecules such as pepsinogen and plasma proteins .
▪
The oedematous patients had similar lung function, smoking histories, and plasma protein concentrations to the patients without oedema.
■ VERB
increase
▪
Helicobacter pylori increases plasma gastrin concentrations by 50% to 100% and values fall to normal after the organism has been eradicated.
▪
In another study by Ryberg etal the enterochromaffin like cell labelling index was shown to increase linearly with the plasma gastrin concentration.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS

▪
Six subjects did not consent to a glucose tolerance test and tolerance was determined from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations.
▪
The importance of the plasma triglyceride concentration as a risk factor for coronary heart disease in the general population is still uncertain.
