UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007005	Hypoglycins	Methylene cyclopropyl alanine and congeners isolated from the unripe edible fruit of the AKEE plant (BLIGHIA SAPIDA). Hypoglycin B is the gamma-glutamyl congener of hypoglycin A. They are very toxic and teratogenic, causing a syndrome called Jamaican vomiting sickness that includes a fall in blood glucose due to the interference of FATTY ACIDS and LEUCINE metabolism which leads to VOMITING, liver damage, CONVULSIONS and DEATH.
D008041	Linoleic Acids	Eighteen-carbon essential fatty acids that contain two double bonds.	Acids, Linoleic
D008297	Male		Males
D009829	Oleic Acids	A group of fatty acids that contain 18 carbon atoms and a double bond at the omega 9 carbon.	Octadecenoic Acids,Acids, Octadecenoic,Acids, Oleic
D003521	Cyclopropanes	Three-carbon cycloparaffin cyclopropane (the structural formula (CH2)3) and its derivatives.
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.

D013229	Stearic Acids	A group of compounds that are derivatives of octadecanoic acid which is one of the most abundant fatty acids found in animal lipids.
