UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008264	Macrophages	The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D015107	4-Butyrolactone	One of the FURANS with a carbonyl thereby forming a cyclic lactone. It is an endogenous compound made from gamma-aminobutyrate and is the precursor of gamma-hydroxybutyrate. It is also used as a pharmacological agent and solvent.	1,4-Butanolide,4-Hydroxybutyric Acid Lactone,Furanone, tetrahydro-2-,gamma-Butyrolactone,Dihydro-2(3H)-furanone,1,4 Butanolide,4 Butyrolactone,4 Hydroxybutyric Acid Lactone,Furanone, tetrahydro 2,Lactone, 4-Hydroxybutyric Acid,gamma Butyrolactone
D050356	Lipid Metabolism	Physiological processes in biosynthesis (anabolism) and degradation (catabolism) of LIPIDS.	Metabolism, Lipid
D052243	Resistin	A 12-kDa cysteine-rich polypeptide hormone secreted by FAT CELLS in the ADIPOSE TISSUE. It is the founding member of the resistin-like molecule (RELM) hormone family. Resistin suppresses the ability of INSULIN to stimulate cellular GLUCOSE uptake.	Adipocyte Cysteine-Rich Secreted Protein FIZZ3,Adipocyte Cysteine Rich Secreted Protein FIZZ3
