  2. Trichloroethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichloroethylene

    Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a halocarbon with the formula C 2 HCl 3, commonly used as an industrial metal degreasing solvent. It is a clear, colourless, non-flammable, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like pleasant mild smell [3] and sweet taste. [9] Its IUPAC name is trichloroethene. Trichloroethylene has been sold under a variety of trade names.

  3. Monoamine neurotransmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_neurotransmitter

    Examples are dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. All monoamines are derived from aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan by the action of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase enzymes. They are deactivated in the body by the enzymes known as monoamine oxidases which clip off the amine group.

  4. Substance P - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_P

    Substance P (SP) is an undecapeptide (a peptide composed of a chain of 11 amino acid residues) [1] and a type of neuropeptide, belonging to the tachykinin family of neuropeptides.

  5. Organochlorine chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organochlorine_chemistry

    For example, the industrial production of chloroethane proceeds by the reaction of ethylene with HCl: [citation needed] H 2 C=CH 2 + HCl → CH 3 CH 2 Cl. In oxychlorination, hydrogen chloride instead of the more expensive chlorine is used for the same purpose: CH 2 =CH 2 + 2 HCl + 1 ⁄ 2 O 2 → ClCH 2 CH 2 Cl + H 2 O.

  6. Metabolic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_pathway

    For example, one pathway may be responsible for the synthesis of a particular amino acid, but the breakdown of that amino acid may occur via a separate and distinct pathway. One example of an exception to this "rule" is the metabolism of glucose .

  7. Psychosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosynthesis

    “Speaking of Synthesis means approaching the guiding principle of Assagiolian psychology, both the means and the goal of the entire psychosynthetic pathway. . . Synthesis is a process that involves the creation of a relationship between two or more elements through a third entity, in order to create a new reality. [5]

  8. Long-term potentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_potentiation

    For example, LTP in the Schaffer collateral pathway of the hippocampus is NMDA receptor-dependent - this was proved by the application of AP5, an antagonist to the NMDA receptor, which prevented LTP in this pathway. [23] Conversely, LTP in the mossy fiber pathway is NMDA receptor-independent, even though both pathways are in the hippocampus. [24]

  9. Indolamines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indolamines

    A common example of an indolamine is the tryptophan derivative serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood and sleep. [1] Another example of an indolamine is melatonin. In biochemistry, indolamines are substituted indole compounds that contain an amino group. Examples of indolamines include the lysergamides.
