lipase |
<enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of fats (monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides) to glycerol and fatty acids. Calcium ions are usually required. (13 Nov 1997) |

lipase test |
A diagnostic test based on the measurement of lipase in blood and urine as an indicator of pancreatic disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
lipectomy |
Removal of localised subcutaneous fat deposits by suction curettage or blunt cannulization in the cosmetic correction of obesity and other esthetic contour defects. (12 Dec 1998) |
lipedema |
Chronic swelling, usually of the lower extremities, particularly in middle-aged women, caused by the widespread even distribution of subcutaneous fat and fluid. Origin: Lipo-+ G. Oidema, swelling (05 Mar 2000) |
lipedematous alopecia |
Alopecia with itching, soreness, or tenderness of the scalp in adult negro women; the scalp is thickened and soft, subcutaneous fat is increased, and the hair is sparse and short. (05 Mar 2000) |
lipemia |
<biochemistry> Presence of an abnormally high amount of lipid in the bloodstream. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (18 Nov 1997) |
lipic |
<chemistry> Pertaining to, or derived from, fat. The word was formerly used specifically to designate a supposed acid obtained by the oxidation of oleic acid, tallow, wax, etc. Origin: Gr. Fat. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
lipid |
<chemical> Any of a heterogeneous group of flats and fatlike substances characterised by being water insoluble and being extractable by nonpolar (or fat) solvents such as alcohol, ether, chloroform, benzene, etc. All contain as a major constituent aliphatic hydrocarbons. The lipids, which are easily stored in the body, serve as a source of fuel, are an important constituent of cell structure and serve other biological functions. Lipids may be considered to include fatty acids, neutral fats, waxes and steroids. Compound lipids comprise the glycolipids, lipoproteins and phospholipids. (18 Nov 1997) |
lipid A |
The lipid associated with polysaccharide in the lipopolysaccharide of gram-negative bacterial cell walls. (18 Nov 1997) |
lipid A 4'-phosphatase |
<enzyme> Involved in lipid a biosynthesis in rhizobium leguminosarum Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: 2-keto-3-deoxyoctulosonate-activated 4'-phosphatase, kdo-activated lipid a 4'-phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
lipid A disaccharide synthase |
<enzyme> Udp-diacyl-n-acetylglucosamine plus 2,3-diacyl-n-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate yields 2',3'-diacyl-glcn-(beta 1-6)-2,3-diacyl-glcn-1-p plus udp Registry number: EC 2.4.1.182 Synonym: 2,3-diacyl-n-acetylglucosamine diacyl-n-acetylglucosaminyltransferse, lipid a synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
lipid bilayer |
<biochemistry> A lamellar organisation of phospholipids that are packed as a bilayer with hydrophobic acyl tails inwardly directed and polar head groups on the outside surfaces. It is this bilayer that forms the basis of membranes in cells, though in most cellular membranes a very substantial proportion of the area may be occupied by integral proteins. The triple layered appearance of membranes seen in electron microscopy is thought to arise because the osmium tetroxide binds to the polar regions leaving a central, unstained, hydrophobic region. (31 Dec 1997) |
lipid bilayers |
Layers of lipid molecules which are two molecules thick. Bilayer systems are frequently studied as models of biological membranes. (12 Dec 1998) |
lipid granulomatosis |
<dermatology, pathology> An accumulation of an excess of lipids in the body due to disturbance of lipid metabolism and marked by the formation of foam cells in skin lesions. (16 Dec 1997) |
lipid histiocytosis |
Histiocytosis with cytoplasmic accumulation of lipid, either phospholipid (Niemann-Pick disease) or glucocerebroside (Gaucher's disease). (05 Mar 2000) |
