2. Calcitriol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcitriol

   Calcitriol is a hormone and the active form of vitamin D, normally made in the kidney. [8] [9] [10] It is also known as 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.It binds to and activates the vitamin D receptor in the nucleus of the cell, which then increases the expression of many genes. [11]

3. IC50 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC50

   The IC 50 of a drug can be determined by constructing a dose-response curve and examining the effect of different concentrations of antagonist on reversing agonist activity. IC 50 values can be calculated for a given antagonist by determining the concentration needed to inhibit half of the maximum biological response of the agonist. [ 4 ]

4. Fold change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_change

   Conversely, the measure is symmetric when the change decreases by an equivalent amount e.g. a halving is equal to a log 2 fold change of −1, a quartering is equal to a log 2 fold change of −2 and so on. This leads to more aesthetically pleasing plots, as exponential changes are displayed as linear and so the dynamic range is increased.

5. Elimination rate constant - Wikipedia

   And since is fraction of the drug that is removed per unit time measured at any particular instant, then if we divide the rate of elimination by the amount of drug in the body at time t, we get; K = d E t d t ÷ A t = ln ⁡ 2 t 1 / 2 ≈ 0.693 t 1 / 2 {\displaystyle K={dE_{t} \over dt}\div A_{t}={\frac {\ln 2}{t_{1/2}}}\approx {\frac {0.693}{t ...

   The diagram above can also be used as an alternative way to convert any substance concentration (not only the normal or optimal ones) from molar to mass units and vice versa for those substances appearing in both scales, by measuring how much they are horizontally displaced from one another (representing the molar mass for that substance), and ...

7. Alfacalcidol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfacalcidol

   Alfacalcidol (or 1-hydroxycholecalciferol) is an analogue of vitamin D used for supplementation in humans and as a poultry feed additive.. Alfacalcidol has a weaker impact on calcium metabolism [3] and parathyroid hormone levels [4] than calcitriol; but significant effects on the immune system, including regulatory T cells. [5]

8. Drop (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(unit)

   [2] Prior to the adoption of the unit of the minim in the early 19th century, the smallest unit of fluid measure in the Apothecaries' systems of the United States customary units and pre-1824 English units was, while inexact, presumed to be equal to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of a fluid dram or ⁠ 1 / 480 ⁠ of a fluid ounce.

   This is approximately 6–12 mg/m 2 /day of hydrocortisone (m 2 refers to body surface area (BSA), and is a measure of body size; an average man's BSA is 1.9 m 2). [ citation needed ] Therapeutic immunosuppression
