[1] [2] Chemically, it is a methyl derivative of the amino acid arginine. It is used as a biochemical tool in the study of physiological role of nitric oxide . The inhibiting effect of N -methylarginine on vasodilation is lower in hypertensive patients than in normal subjects, indicating endothelial dysfunction . [ 3 ]
Methionine (symbol Met or M) [3] (/ m ɪ ˈ θ aɪ ə n iː n /) [4] is an essential amino acid in humans.. As the precursor of other non-essential amino acids such as cysteine and taurine, versatile compounds such as SAM-e, and the important antioxidant glutathione, methionine plays a critical role in the metabolism and health of many species, including humans.
A close relative to tetramantane (a higher homologue of adamantane), its proper name is nonacyclo[11.7.1.1 12,18.0 3,16.0 4,13.0 5,10.0 6,14.0 7,11.0 15,20]docosane. Because its unusual ethano-bridge was a deviation from the standard hydrocarbon caged rearrangements, it came to be known as bastardane—the unwanted child.
Titin [5] / ˈ t aɪ t ɪ n / (contraction for Titan protein) (also called connectin) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TTN gene. [6] [7] The protein, which is over 1 μm in length, [8] functions as a molecular spring that is responsible for the passive elasticity of muscle.
This multi-page article lists pharmaceutical drugs alphabetically by name. Many drugs have more than one name and, therefore, the same drug may be listed more than once. ...
When 5 mg/kg of methylone was administered to rats, it was found that around 26% was excreted as HMMC within the first 48 hours (less than 3% excreted unchanged). [24] The mean elimination half-lives of methylone in humans following oral administration of doses of 50 to 200 mg ranged from 5.8 to 6.9 hours. [ 3 ]
Methylergometrine is sometimes used for both prevention [6] and acute treatment [7] of migraine. It is an active metabolite of methysergide. [8] In the treatment of cluster headaches, methylergometrine has been initiated at a dose of 0.2 mg/day, rapidly increased to 0.2 mg three times per day, and increased to a maximum of 0.4 mg three times per day.
