REABSORPTION
| Pronunciation (US): |  | (GB): | |
I. (noun)
Sense 1
Meaning:
The organic process in which the substance of some differentiated structure that has been produced by the body undergoes lysis and assimilation
Synonyms:
reabsorption; resorption
Classified under:
Nouns denoting natural processes
Hypernyms ("reabsorption" is a kind of...):
biological process; organic process (a process occurring in living organisms)
Derivation:
reabsorb (undergo resorption)
Context examples:
A highly charged polymeric agent use to bind bile acids in the gastrointestinal tract and prevent their reabsorption from the gut.
(Bile Acid Sequestrant, NCI Thesaurus)
These neoplasms secrete fibroblast growth factor 23, which in addition to causing decreased renal phosphate reabsorption also affects the expression of 25-hydroxy-1-alpha-hydroxylase resulting in poor bone mineralization.
(Oncogenic Osteomalacia, NCI Thesaurus)
This leads to an increase in serum calcium concentrations by increasing intestinal absorption of phosphorus and calcium, promoting distal renal tubular reabsorption of calcium and increasing osteoclastic resorption.
(Cholecalciferol, NCI Thesaurus)
Similar to the thiazides, metolazone acts on the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter, thereby preventing sodium and chloride reabsorption and excretion of water.
(Metolazone, NCI Thesaurus)
It is characterized by deficient reabsorption of electrolytes in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys.
(Gitelman Syndrome, NCI Thesaurus)
Also, this agent prevents reabsorption of bicarbonate and sodium in the proximal convoluted tubule thereby producing a mild diuresis.
(Ethoxzolamide, NCI Thesaurus)
Chlorthalidone directly inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption on the luminal membrane of the early segment in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) in the kidney.
(Chlorthalidone, NCI Thesaurus)
Disulfamide inhibits CA, thereby preventing sodium, bicarbonate and thus water reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule resulting in diuresis.
(Disulfamide, NCI Thesaurus)
Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits electrolytes reabsorption via binding to Na-Cl cotransporter on the renal distal tubular, thereby increasing excretion of sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate and water.
(Enalapril Maleate/Hydrochlorothiazide, NCI Thesaurus)
Hydrochlorothiazide affects renal tubular electrolyte reabsorption, increasing excretion of sodium and chloride.
(Bisoprolol Fumarate/Hydrochlorothiazide, NCI Thesaurus)
