- Adrenergic receptor [r]: "Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands" (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Alcoholism [r]: Chronic addiction to alcohol. [e]
- Aspirin [r]: Common analgesic used for treating mild to moderate pain; protective against blood clots and heart disease when administered indefinitely in low doses [e]
- Cytochrome P-450 [r]: A superfamily of hundreds of closely related hemeproteins found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Depression [r]: Psychiatric disorder characterized by generalized melancholy, retreat from social contact, disrupted sleep patterns, akathisia, or a feeling of restlessness and increased movement, and anhedonia, or a diminished ability to experience pleasure. [e]
- Diabetes mellitus type 1 [r]: Insulin dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes. [e]
- Diabetes mellitus type 2 [r]: Medical condition characterised by glucose intolerance and hyperglycemia [e]
- G-protein-coupled receptor kinase [r]: A family of protein kinases which regulate the activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by phosphorylating their intracellular domains after their associated G proteins have been released and activated. [e]
- Glutamate decarboxylase [r]: An enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of glutamate to GABA and CO2. [e]
- Hemochromatosis [r]: Hereditary disorder affecting iron metabolism in which excessive amounts of iron accumulate in the body tissues, characterized by diabetes mellitus, liver dysfunction, and a bronze pigmentation of the skin. [e]
- Hereditary angioedema [r]: An inherited disorder that is characterized by subcutaneous and submucosal edema in the upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Hereditary spherocytosis [r]: Chronic congenital disorder of the erythrocytopoietic system characterized by a preponderance of fragile spherical erythrocytes, and haemolytic anaemia. [e]
- Juvenile delinquency [r]: Antisocial or criminal behavior by children or adolescents, defined by law. [e]
- Metabolic syndrome X [r]: Combination of medical disorders that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. [e]
- QT interval [r]: In cardiology and the electrocardiogram, the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave. [e]
- Sympathetic nervous system [r]: Portion of the autonomic nervous system concerned with nonvolitional preparation of the organism for emergency situations. [e]
- Temperament [r]: The manner of thinking, behaving, or reacting, characteristic of a specific person. [e]
- Thalassemia [r]: A group of hereditary hemolytic anemias in which there is decreased synthesis of one or more hemoglobin polypeptide chains (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- VKORC1 [r]: A human gene responsible for enzymatically activating Vitamin K production, essential for blood clotting. [e]
