UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007294	Inositol	An isomer of glucose that has traditionally been considered to be a B vitamin although it has an uncertain status as a vitamin and a deficiency syndrome has not been identified in man. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1379) Inositol phospholipids are important in signal transduction.	Myoinositol,Chiro-Inositol,Mesoinositol,Chiro Inositol
D007295	Inositol Phosphates	Phosphoric acid esters of inositol. They include mono- and polyphosphoric acid esters, with the exception of inositol hexaphosphate which is PHYTIC ACID.	Inositol Phosphate,Phosphate, Inositol,Phosphates, Inositol
D007301	Insect Hormones	Hormones secreted by insects. They influence their growth and development. Also synthetic substances that act like insect hormones.	Insect Hormone,Hormone, Insect,Hormones, Insect
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007814	Larva	Wormlike or grublike stage, following the egg in the life cycle of insects, worms, and other metamorphosing animals.	Maggots,Tadpoles,Larvae,Maggot,Tadpole
D009842	Oligopeptides	Peptides composed of between two and twelve amino acids.	Oligopeptide
D011761	Pyrrolidonecarboxylic Acid	A cyclized derivative of L-GLUTAMIC ACID. Elevated blood levels may be associated with problems of GLUTAMINE or GLUTATHIONE metabolism.	5-Oxoproline,Pidolic Acid,Pyroglutamic Acid,5-Ketoproline,5-Oxopyrrolidine-2-Carboxylic Acid,Magnesium Pidolate,Pyroglutamate,Pidolate, Magnesium
D006110	Grasshoppers	Plant-eating orthopterans having hindlegs adapted for jumping. There are two main families: Acrididae and Romaleidae. Some of the more common genera are: Melanoplus, the most common grasshopper; Conocephalus, the eastern meadow grasshopper; and Pterophylla, the true katydid.

D000273	Adipose Tissue	Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.

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.
