Endothelins
|
D016232 |
[21-Amino-acid peptides produced by vascular endothelial cells and functioning as potent vasoconstrictors. The endothelin family consists of three members, ENDOTHELIN-1; ENDOTHELIN-2; and ENDOTHELIN-3. All three peptides contain 21 amino acids, but vary in amino acid composition. The three peptides produce vasoconstrictor and pressor responses in various parts of the body. However, the quantitative profiles of the pharmacological activities are considerably different among the three isopeptides.

Endothelium
|
D004727 |
[A layer of epithelium that lines the heart, blood vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, VASCULAR), lymph vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, LYMPHATIC), and the serous cavities of the body.
] |
|
Endothelium, Corneal
|
D004728 |
[Single layer of large flattened cells covering the surface of the cornea.
] |
|
Endothelium, Lymphatic
|
D004729 |
[Unbroken cellular lining (intima) of the lymph vessels (e.g., the high endothelial lymphatic venules). It is more permeable than vascular endothelium, lacking selective absorption and functioning mainly to remove plasma proteins that have filtered through the capillaries into the tissue spaces.

|
Endothelium, Vascular
|
D004730 |
[Single pavement layer of cells which line the luminal surface of the entire vascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components.
] |
|
Endothelium-Dependent Relaxing Factors
|
D045462 |
[Paracrine substances produced by the VASCULAR ENDOTHELIUM with VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE relaxation (VASODILATION) activities. Several factors have been identified, including NITRIC OXIDE and PROSTACYCLIN.

|
Endotoxemia
|
D019446 |
[A condition characterized by the presence of ENDOTOXINS in the blood. On lysis, the outer cell wall of gram-negative bacteria enters the systemic circulation and initiates a pathophysiologic cascade of pro-inflammatory mediators.
] |
|
Endotoxins
|
D004731 |
[Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells.
] |
|
Endovascular Procedures
|
D057510 |
[Minimally invasive procedures, diagnostic or therapeutic, performed within the BLOOD VESSELS. They may be perfomed via ANGIOSCOPY; INTERVENTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING; INTERVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHY; or INTERVENTIONAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY.

|
Endpoint Determination
|
D023381 |
[Establishment of the level of a quantifiable effect indicative of a biologic process. The evaluation is frequently to detect the degree of toxic or therapeutic effect.

|
Endrin
|
D004732 |
[An organochlorine compound that was formerly used as an insecticide. Its manufacture and use has been discontinued in the United States. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)

|
Endurance Training
|
D000076663 |
[Exercise programs of relatively long duration and moderate intensity, which enhance maximal oxygen uptake, increasing PHYSICAL STAMINA.
] |
|
Enediynes
|
D053281 |
[Compounds with triple bonds to each side of a double bond. Many of these are CYTOTOXINS and are researched for use as CYTOTOXIC ANTIBIOTICS.

|
Enema
|
D004733 |
[Insertion of a solution or compound through the RECTUM with the purpose of cleansing the COLON or for diagnostic procedures.
] |
|
Energy Drinks
|
D061215 |
[Beverages that contain stimulants such as a combination of CAFFEINE with other substances such as VITAMINS; AMINO ACIDS; and sugar or sugar derivatives.
] |
|
Energy Intake
|
D002149 |
[Total number of calories taken in daily whether ingested or by parenteral routes.
] |
|
Energy Metabolism
|
D004734 |
[The chemical reactions involved in the production and utilization of various forms of energy in cells.
] |
|
Energy Transfer
|
D004735 |
[The transfer of energy of a given form among different scales of motion. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed). It includes the transfer of kinetic energy and the transfer of chemical energy. The transfer of chemical energy from one molecule to another depends on proximity of molecules so it is often used as in techniques to measure distance such as the use of FORSTER RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER.

|
Energy-Generating Resources
|
D004736 |
[Energy sources produced from primary energy resources, such as refined fuels or electric power.
, Natural sources from which power is obtained.
, Materials or phenomena which can provide energy directly or via conversion.
] |
|
Enflurane
|
D004737 |
[An extremely stable inhalation anesthetic that allows rapid adjustments of anesthesia depth with little change in pulse or respiratory rate.
