D007470	Monoiodotyrosine	A product from the iodination of tyrosine. In the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE), tyrosine is first iodized to monoiodotyrosine.	Iodotyrosine
D007656	Ketoglutaric Acids	A family of compounds containing an oxo group with the general structure of 1,5-pentanedioic acid. (From Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p442)	Oxoglutarates,2-Ketoglutarate,2-Ketoglutaric Acid,2-Oxoglutarate,2-Oxoglutaric Acid,Calcium Ketoglutarate,Calcium alpha-Ketoglutarate,Ketoglutaric Acid,Oxogluric Acid,alpha-Ketoglutarate,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Calcium Salt (2:1),alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Diammonium Salt,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Dipotassium Salt,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Disodium Salt,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Monopotassium Salt,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Monosodium Salt,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Potassium Salt,alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Sodium Salt,alpha-Oxoglutarate,2 Ketoglutarate,2 Ketoglutaric Acid,2 Oxoglutarate,2 Oxoglutaric Acid,Calcium alpha Ketoglutarate,alpha Ketoglutarate,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid, Diammonium Salt,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid, Dipotassium Salt,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid, Disodium Salt,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid, Monopotassium Salt,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid, Monosodium Salt,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid, Potassium Salt,alpha Ketoglutaric Acid, Sodium Salt,alpha Oxoglutarate,alpha-Ketoglutarate, Calcium
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297	Male		Males
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
D008861	Microsomes	Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; from Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed)	Microsome
D008928	Mitochondria	Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D008995	Monoamine Oxidase	An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of naturally occurring monoamines. It is a flavin-containing enzyme that is localized in mitochondrial membranes, whether in nerve terminals, the liver, or other organs. Monoamine oxidase is important in regulating the metabolic degradation of catecholamines and serotonin in neural or target tissues. Hepatic monoamine oxidase has a crucial defensive role in inactivating circulating monoamines or those, such as tyramine, that originate in the gut and are absorbed into the portal circulation.

D009411	Nerve Endings	Branch-like terminations of NERVE FIBERS, sensory or motor NEURONS. Endings of sensory neurons are the beginnings of afferent pathway to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Endings of motor neurons are the terminals of axons at the muscle cells. Nerve endings which release neurotransmitters are called PRESYNAPTIC TERMINALS.	Ending, Nerve,Endings, Nerve,Nerve Ending
D010071	Oxaloacetates	Derivatives of OXALOACETIC ACID. Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that include a 2-keto-1,4-carboxy aliphatic structure.	Ketosuccinates,Oxosuccinates,Oxaloacetic Acids
