endogenous

Examples of endogenous in the following topics:

• Types of Neurotransmitters by Function

  • Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that transmit signals from a neuron to a target cell across a synapse.
  • Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that transmit signals from a neuron to a target cell across a synapse.

• Short-Term Chemical Control

• Double-Stranded RNA Viruses: Retroviruses

  • A special variant of retroviruses are endogenous retroviruses, which are integrated into the genome of the host and inherited across generations.
  • Endogenous retroviruses are a type of transposon.

• Host Risk Factors

  • Risk of infection is a nursing diagnosis which is defined as "the state in which an individual is at risk to be invaded by an opportunistic or pathogenic agent (virus, fungus, bacteria, protozoa, or other parasite) from endogenous or exogenous sources. " The risk of infection depends on a number of endogenous sources.

• Antimicrobial Peptides

  • In contrast to the clonal, acquired adaptive immunity, endogenous peptide antibiotics or antimicrobial peptides provide a fast and energy-effective mechanism as front-line defense.

• Adrenal Medulla

  • The enkephalins and enkephalin-containing peptides are related to, but also distinct from endogenous peptides named endorphins (secreted from the pituitary); all of these peptides bind to opioid receptors and produce analgesic (and other) responses.

• Fever

  • These can be either internal (endogenous) or external (exogenous) to the body.
  • These pathways induce the expression of endogenous pyrogens including a variety of cytokines such as IL1α, IL1β, IL6, TNFα, TNFβ, IFNα, INFβ, and INFγ.
  • Describe how fever, a common symptom of medical conditions, is induced by endogenous and exogenous pyrogens

• Rigor Mortis

  • Unlike muscular contractions during life, the body after death is unable to complete the cycle and release the coupling between the myosin and actin, creating a state of muscular contraction until the breakdown of muscle tissue by enzymes (endogenous or bacterial) during decomposition .

• Antisense Agents

  • This DNA-RNA coupling attracts an endogenous nuclease, RNase H that destroys the bound RNA and frees the DNA antisense to rehybridize with another copy of mRNA.

• Fermentation Without Substrate-Level Phosphorylation

  • Fermentation is the process of extracting energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an endogenous electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound.
