UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007657	Ketone Bodies	The metabolic substances ACETONE; 3-HYDROXYBUTYRIC ACID; and acetoacetic acid (ACETOACETATES). They are produced in the liver and kidney during FATTY ACIDS oxidation and used as a source of energy by the heart, muscle and brain.	Acetone Bodies,Bodies, Acetone,Bodies, Ketone
D008297	Male		Males
D008930	Mitochondria, Liver	Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p343-4)	Liver Mitochondria,Liver Mitochondrion,Mitochondrion, Liver
D010084	Oxidation-Reduction	A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).	Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010795	Phthalic Acids	A group of compounds that has the general structure of a dicarboxylic acid-substituted benzene ring. The ortho-isomer is used in dye manufacture. (Dorland, 28th ed)	Acids, Phthalic
D002331	Carnitine	A constituent of STRIATED MUSCLE and LIVER. It is an amino acid derivative and an essential cofactor for fatty acid metabolism.	Bicarnesine,L-Carnitine,Levocarnitine,Vitamin BT,L Carnitine
D002333	Carnitine Acyltransferases	Acyltransferases in the inner mitochondrial membrane that catalyze the reversible transfer of acyl groups from acyl-CoA to L-carnitine and thereby mediate the transport of activated fatty acids through that membrane. EC 2.3.1.	Acylcarnitine Translocase,Carnitine Translocase,Carnitine-Acetylcarnitine Translocase,Carnitine-Acylcarnitine Translocase,Acyltransferases, Carnitine,Carnitine Acetylcarnitine Translocase,Carnitine Acylcarnitine Translocase,Translocase, Acylcarnitine,Translocase, Carnitine,Translocase, Carnitine-Acetylcarnitine,Translocase, Carnitine-Acylcarnitine
D003065	Coenzyme A		CoA,CoASH
D004051	Diethylhexyl Phthalate	An ester of phthalic acid. It appears as a light-colored, odorless liquid and is used as a plasticizer for many resins and elastomers.	Dioctyl Phthalate,Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,DEHP,Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,Di-2-Ethylhexylphthalate,Di 2 Ethylhexylphthalate,Phthalate, Diethylhexyl,Phthalate, Dioctyl
D000105	Acetyl Coenzyme A	Acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent.	Acetyl CoA,Acetyl-CoA,CoA, Acetyl,Coenzyme A, Acetyl
