Antipeptone :: Antipeptone (n.) A product of gastric and pancreatic digestion, differing from hemipeptone in not being decomposed by the continued action of pancreatic juice..

Chloropeptic :: Chloropeptic (a.) Of or pertaining to an acid more generally called pepsin-hydrochloric acid.

Dyspeptic :: Dyspeptic (a.) Alt. of Dyspeptica.

Dyspeptic :: Dyspeptic (n.) A person afflicted with dyspepsia.

Dyspeptical :: Dyspeptical (a.) Pertaining to dyspepsia; having dyspepsia; as, a dyspeptic or dyspeptical symptom..

Dyspeptone :: Dyspeptone (n.) An insoluble albuminous body formed from casein and other proteid substances by the action of gastric juice.

Eupeptic :: Eupeptic (a.) Of or pertaining to good digestion; easy of digestion; having a good digestion; as, eupeptic food; an eupeptic man..

Hemipeptone :: Hemipeptone (n.) A product of the gastric and pancreatic digestion of albuminous matter.

Metapeptone :: Metapeptone (n.) An intermediate product formed in the gastric digestion of albuminous matter.

Parapeptone :: Parapeptone (n.) An albuminous body formed in small quantity by the peptic digestion of proteids. It can be converted into peptone by pancreatic juice, but not by gastric juice..

Peptic :: Peptic (a.) Relating to digestion; promoting digestion; digestive; as, peptic sauces..

Peptic :: Peptic (a.) Able to digest.

Peptic :: Peptic (a.) Pertaining to pepsin; resembling pepsin in its power of digesting or dissolving albuminous matter; containing or yielding pepsin, or a body of like properties; as, the peptic glands..

Peptic :: Peptic (n.) An agent that promotes digestion.

Peptic :: Peptic (n.) The digestive organs.

Peptics :: Peptics (n.) The science of digestion.

Peptogen :: Peptogen (n.) A substance convertible into peptone.

Peptogenic :: Peptogenic (a.) Same as Peptogenous.

Peptogenous :: Peptogenous (a.) Capable of yielding, or being converted into, peptone..

Peptohydrochloric :: Peptohydrochloric (a.) Designating a hypothetical acid (called peptohydrochloric acid, pepsinhydrochloric acid, and chloropeptic acid) which is supposed to be formed when pepsin and dilute (0.1-0.4 per cent) hydrochloric acid are mixed together..

Peptone :: Peptone (n.) The soluble and diffusible substance or substances into which albuminous portions of the food are transformed by the action of the gastric and pancreatic juices. Peptones are also formed from albuminous matter by the action of boiling water and boiling dilute acids.

Peptone :: Peptone (n.) Collectively, in a broader sense, all the products resulting from the solution of albuminous matter in either gastric or pancreatic juice. In this case, however, intermediate products (albumose bodies), such as antialbumose, hemialbumose, etc., are mixed with the true peptones. Also termed albuminose..

Peptonize :: Peptonize (v. t.) To convert into peptone; to digest or dissolve by means of a proteolytic ferment; as, peptonized food..

Peptonoid :: Peptonoid (n.) A substance related to peptone.

Peptonuria :: Peptonuria (n.) The presence of peptone, or a peptonelike body, in the urine..

Peptotoxine :: Peptotoxine (n.) A toxic alkaloid found occasionally associated with the peptones formed from fibrin by pepsinhydrochloric acid.

Propeptone :: Propeptone (n.) A product of gastric digestion intermediate between albumin and peptone, identical with hemialbumose..
