PEPT
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.
a.
Relating to digestion; promoting digestion; digestive; as, peptic sauces.
a.
Converting proteid or albuminous matter into soluble and diffusible products, as peptones.
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.
n.
A substance related to peptone.
n.
The presence of peptone, or a peptonelike body, in the urine.
a.
Same as Peptogenous.
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.
n.
An agent that promotes digestion.
a.
Capable of yielding, or being converted into, peptone.
n.
A toxic alkaloid found occasionally associated with the peptones formed from fibrin by pepsinhydrochloric acid.
n.
A proteolytic ferment, or enzyme, present in the pancreatic juice. Unlike the pepsin of the gastric juice, it acts in a neutral or alkaline fluid, and not only converts the albuminous matter of the food into soluble peptones, but also, in part, into leucin and tyrosin.
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.
v. t.
To convert into peptone; to digest or dissolve by means of a proteolytic ferment; as, peptonized food.
n.
The science of digestion.
n.
A product of gastric digestion intermediate between albumin and peptone, identical with hemialbumose.
n.
The peptone formed by pancreatic digestion; -- so called because it is formed through the agency of the ferment trypsin.
n.
The digestive organs.
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.
n.
A substance convertible into peptone.
