UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007022	Hypotension	Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients.	Blood Pressure, Low,Hypotension, Vascular,Low Blood Pressure,Vascular Hypotension
D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D004731	Endotoxins	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.	Endotoxin
D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D006634	Histamine H1 Antagonists	Drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H1 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of endogenous histamine. Included here are the classical antihistaminics that antagonize or prevent the action of histamine mainly in immediate hypersensitivity. They act in the bronchi, capillaries, and some other smooth muscles, and are used to prevent or allay motion sickness, seasonal rhinitis, and allergic dermatitis and to induce somnolence. The effects of blocking central nervous system H1 receptors are not as well understood.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012701	Serotonin	A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator.	5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D012702	Serotonin Antagonists	Drugs that bind to but do not activate serotonin receptors, thereby blocking the actions of serotonin or SEROTONIN RECEPTOR AGONISTS.	5-HT Antagonist,5-HT Antagonists,5-Hydroxytryptamine Antagonist,5-Hydroxytryptamine Antagonists,Antiserotonergic Agent,Antiserotonergic Agents,Serotonin Antagonist,Serotonin Blockader,Serotonin Blockaders,Serotonin Receptor Antagonist,Serotonin Receptor Blocker,Antagonists, 5-HT,Antagonists, 5-Hydroxytryptamine,Antagonists, Serotonin,Serotonin Receptor Antagonists,Serotonin Receptor Blockers,5 HT Antagonist,5 HT Antagonists,5 Hydroxytryptamine Antagonist,5 Hydroxytryptamine Antagonists,Agent, Antiserotonergic,Agents, Antiserotonergic,Antagonist, 5-HT,Antagonist, 5-Hydroxytryptamine,Antagonist, Serotonin,Antagonist, Serotonin Receptor,Antagonists, 5 HT,Antagonists, 5 Hydroxytryptamine,Antagonists, Serotonin Receptor,Blockader, Serotonin,Blockaders, Serotonin,Blocker, Serotonin Receptor,Blockers, Serotonin Receptor,Receptor Antagonist, Serotonin,Receptor Antagonists, Serotonin,Receptor Blocker, Serotonin,Receptor Blockers, Serotonin
D045991	Felis	Genus in the family FELIDAE comprised of small felines including the domestic cat, Felis catus (CATS) and its ancestor the wild cat, Felis silvestris.
D018926	Anti-Allergic Agents	Agents that are used to treat allergic reactions. Most of these drugs act by preventing the release of inflammatory mediators or inhibiting the actions of released mediators on their target cells.
