D008154 |
[One of the SCHISTOSOMICIDES, it has been replaced largely by HYCANTHONE and more recently PRAZIQUANTEL. (From Martindale The Extrapharmacopoeia, 30th ed., p46)

[A macrolide antibiotic isolated from cultures of Streptomyces lucensis.

Luciferases
|
D008156 |
[Enzymes that oxidize certain LUMINESCENT AGENTS to emit light (PHYSICAL LUMINESCENCE). The luciferases from different organisms have evolved differently so have different structures and substrates.

Luciferases, Bacterial
|
D049453 |
[Luciferases from BACTERIA such as PHOTOBACTERIUM; VIBRIO; and PHOTORHABDUS.
] |
|
Luciferases, Firefly
|
D049409 |
[Luciferases from FIREFLIES, usually Photinus, that oxidizes FIREFLY LUCIFERIN to cause emission of PHOTONS.
] |
|
Luciferases, Renilla
|
D049410 |
[Luciferases from RENILLA that oxidizes certain LUMINESCENT AGENTS to cause emission of PHOTONS.

|
Ludwig's Angina
|
D008158 |
[Severe cellulitis of the submaxillary space with secondary involvement of the perimandibular spaces. It usually results from infection in the lower molar area or from an infection following a penetrating injury to the MOUTH FLOOR.
] |
|
Luffa
|
D029776 |
[A plant genus of the family CUCURBITACEAE known for the fruit which is the source of the luffa sponge and the seeds which contain luffin.
] |
|
Lujo virus
|
D063927 |
[A species of ARENAVIRUS, OLD WORLD that is the etiologic agent of acute febrile illness with hemorrhagic manifestations in Africa.
] |
|
Lumbar Vertebrae
|
D008159 |
[VERTEBRAE in the region of the lower BACK below the THORACIC VERTEBRAE and above the SACRAL VERTEBRAE.
] |
|
Lumbosacral Plexus
|
D008160 |
[The lumbar and sacral plexuses taken together. The fibers of the lumbosacral plexus originate in the lumbar and upper sacral spinal cord (L1 to S3) and innervate the lower extremities.
] |
|
Lumbosacral Region
|
D008161 |
[Region of the back including the LUMBAR VERTEBRAE, SACRUM, and nearby structures.
] |
|
Lumefantrine
|
D000078102 |
[A fluorene derivative that is used in combination with ARTEMETHER for the treatment of MALARIA (see ARTEMETHER-LUMEFANTRINE DRUG COMBINATION).
] |
|
Lumican
|
D000071234 |
[A small leucine-rich proteoglycan that contains 10 tandem leucine repeats and four N-linked sites within the leucine repeat region that may be substituted with KERATAN SULFATE. These properties and its horseshoe shape allow it to mediate interactions among COLLAGEN molecules within fibrils. It is expressed in most mesenchymal tissues as well as the CORNEA, where it functions to maintain transparency.
] |
|
Lumicolchicines
|
D008162 |
[Three, alpha, beta, and gamma isomers of ultraviolet degradation products of colchicine that lack many of the physiological actions of the parent; used as experimental control for colchicine actions.
] |
|
Luminescence
|
D049449 |
[Emission of LIGHT when ELECTRONS return to the electronic ground state from an excited state and lose the energy as PHOTONS. It is sometimes called cool light in contrast to INCANDESCENCE. LUMINESCENT MEASUREMENTS take advantage of this type of light emitted from LUMINESCENT AGENTS.
] |
|
Luminescent Agents
|
D049408 |
[Compound such as LUMINESCENT PROTEINS that cause or emit light (PHYSICAL LUMINESCENCE).
] |
|
Luminescent Measurements
|
D008163 |
[Measurements of light resulting from CHEMILUMINESCENCE.
, Techniques used for determining the values of photometric parameters of light resulting from LUMINESCENCE.
] |
|
Luminescent Proteins
|
D008164 |
[Proteins which are involved in the phenomenon of light emission in living systems. Included are the "enzymatic" and "non-enzymatic" types of system with or without the presence of oxygen or co-factors.
