acceleration time(English)
antithrombin(English)
- a naturally occurring protease inhibitor that serves to maintain balance in the coagulation system predominantly by inactivating a number of coagulation factors, including IIa and Xa. In addition, enhanced activity is the mechanism by which heparin achieves its anticoagulant effect. Antithrombin levels can be decreased by a congenital defect or a consumptive process. In either case, AT purified from human plasma is commercially available. In addition to its role as an anticoagulant, AT has anti-inflammatory properties. There is interest in its use to treat the inflammatory component of conditions such as sepsis. As for other purified plasma products, the risk of infectious disease transmission is minimized by pathogen inactivation techniques; also called antithrombin III

ataxia telangiectasia(English)
- a neurodegenerative disorder inherited in a recessive manner that is apparent in children as soon as they begin to walk. The disorder is progressive, so that by early teenage, patients rely on a wheelchair for mobility and problems with coordination of the upper limbs lead to difficulties in feeding – hence the name ‘ataxia’. The term ‘telangiectasia’ refers to the prominent dilated blood vessels that are most apparent on the whites of the eyes. Not only is the brain affected, but also the immune system (patients can have quite serious infections). Patients are also at increased risk of developing cancer of the lymphoid system. One of the most remarkable features about these patients is that they have increased radiosensitivity; also denoted as A-T

adipose tissue(English)
- considered one of the largest endocrine organs in the body as well as an active tissue for cellular reactions and metabolic homeostasis rather than an inert tissue for energy storage. Its functional pleiotropism relies on its ability to synthesize and release a large number of hormones, cytokines, extracellular matrixproteins and growth and vasoactive factors, collectively termed adipokines, that influence a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes
