That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared range.

The conversion of absorbed light energy into molecular signals.

An abrupt high-current electric discharge that occurs in the ATMOSPHERE and that has a path length ranging from hundreds of feet to tens of miles. (F…

Rate of energy dissipation along the path of charged particles. In radiobiology and health physics, exposure is measured in kiloelectron volts per mi…

Nonrandom association of linked genes. This is the tendency of the alleles of two separate but already linked loci to be found together more frequent…

Physiological processes in biosynthesis (anabolism) and degradation (catabolism) of LIPIDS.

LIPOLYSIS of stored LIPIDS in the ADIPOSE TISSUE to release FREE FATTY ACIDS. Mobilization of stored lipids is under the regulation of lipolytic sign…

Peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of lipids using hydrogen peroxide as an electron acceptor.

De novo fat synthesis in the body. This includes the synthetic processes of FATTY ACIDS and subsequent TRIGLYCERIDES in the LIVER and the ADIPOSE TIS…

The metabolic process of breaking down LIPIDS to release FREE FATTY ACIDS, the major oxidative fuel for the body. Lipolysis may involve dietary lipid…

The number of offspring produced at one birth by a viviparous animal.

The event that a FETUS is born alive with heartbeats or RESPIRATION regardless of GESTATIONAL AGE. Such liveborn is called a newborn infant (INFANT, …

The circulation of BLOOD through the LIVER.

Repair or renewal of hepatic tissue.

Movement or the ability to move from one place or another. It can refer to humans, vertebrate or invertebrate animals, and microorganisms.

A regulatory region first identified in the human beta-globin locus but subsequently found in other loci. The region is believed to regulate GENETIC …

The total relative probability, expressed on a logarithmic scale, that a linkage relationship exists among selected loci. Lod is an acronym for logar…

Highly repeated sequences, 6K-8K base pairs in length, which contain RNA polymerase II promoters. They also have an open reading frame that is relate…

The normal length of time of an organism's life.

A mutation that causes a decrease in or elimination of a gene product's activity.

The loss of one allele at a specific locus, caused by a deletion mutation; or loss of a chromosome from a chromosome pair, resulting in abnormal HEMI…
