  2. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl...

    3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL), also known as dopamine aldehyde, is a metabolite of the monoamine neurotransmitter dopamine formed by monoamine oxidase (MAO). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Other metabolic pathways of dopamine metabolism include methylation by catechol O -methyltransferase (COMT) into 3-methoxytyramine and β-hydroxylation by dopamine β ...

  3. L-DOPA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-DOPA

    l-DOPA is produced from the amino acid l-tyrosine by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. l-DOPA can act as an l-tyrosine mimetic and be incorporated into proteins by mammalian cells in place of l-tyrosine, generating protease-resistant and aggregate-prone proteins in vitro and may contribute to neurotoxicity with chronic l-DOPA administration. [10]

  4. Heat trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_trap

    Heat traps are valves or loops of pipe on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of water heaters. The heat traps allow cold water to flow into the water heater tank, but prevent unwanted natural convection and heated water to flow out of the tank. [1] [2] Newer water heaters have built-in heat traps.

  5. Heating element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

    Thin films of this material are used in heating garments, [21] in automotive rear-window defrost heaters, [22] and honeycomb-shaped elements are used in more expensive hair dryers, space heaters and most modern pellet stoves [citation needed]. Such heating elements can reach temperatures of 950–1000 °C and can reach equilibrium quickly.

  6. Dopamine (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_(medication)

    The medication phentolamine can be given to try to decrease this risk. [4] It is unclear if dopamine is safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. [4] At low doses dopamine mainly triggers dopamine receptors and β1-adrenergic receptors while at high doses it works via α-adrenergic receptors. [4]

  7. Water heating - Wikipedia

    They typically use low power heating elements, about 1 kW to 1.5 kW, and can provide hot water long enough for hand washing, or, if plumbed into an existing hot water line, until hot water arrives from a remote high capacity water heater. They may be used when retrofitting a building with hot water plumbing is too costly or impractical.

  8. Reuptake inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuptake_inhibitor

    Escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used as an antidepressant.. Reuptake inhibitors (RIs) are a type of reuptake modulators.It is a drug that inhibits the plasmalemmal transporter-mediated reuptake of a neurotransmitter from the synapse into the pre-synaptic neuron.

  9. Electric water boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_water_boiler

    An electric water boiler is a device comprising a water reservoir equipped with a heating element positioned at the bottom. While some models offer the convenience of multiple temperature settings, others are integrated into larger water systems capable of boiling water and dispensing it in various forms: hot, cold, or lukewarm.
