Proteolytic :: Proteolytic (a.) Converting proteid or albuminous matter into soluble and diffusible products, as peptones..

Hemiprotein :: Hemiprotein (n.) An insoluble, proteid substance, described by Schutzenberger, formed when albumin is heated for some time with dilute sulphuric acid. It is apparently identical with antialbumid and dyspeptone..

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

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

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

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

Semiglutin :: Semiglutin (n.) A peptonelike body, insoluble in alcohol, formed by boiling collagen or gelatin for a long time in water. Hemicollin, a like body, is also formed at the same time, and differs from semiglutin by being partly soluble in alcohol..

Hemialbumose :: Hemialbumose (n.) An albuminous substance formed in gastric digestion, and by the action of boiling dilute acids on albumin. It is readily convertible into hemipeptone. Called also hemialbumin..

Antialbumid :: Antialbumid (n.) A body formed from albumin by pancreatic and gastric digestion. It is convertible into antipeptone.

Albuminose :: Albuminose (n.) A diffusible substance formed from albumin by the action of natural or artificial gastric juice. See Peptone.

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

Galactin :: Galactin (n.) An amorphous, gelatinous substance containing nitrogen, found in milk and other animal fluids. It resembles peptone, and is variously regarded as a coagulating or emulsifying agent..

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

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

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

Amphopeptone :: Amphopeptone (n.) A product of gastric digestion, a mixture of hemipeptone and antipeptone..

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

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..

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