### chemical compounds:

Perchlorate
* All perchlorates are potentially hazardous when in contact with reducing agents.
* are also a laboratory waste by-product of perchloric acid
  - irritants to the body wherever they contact it
  - strong oxidants, one of the primary oxidants used in solid rocket fuel
* continues to be manufactured and used nationwide.
* interferes with the thyroid gland's uptake of iodine to produce thyroid hormones.
* is chemical compounds
* targets the thyroid and is highly toxic.

### chemical compounds | perchlorate:

Ammonium perchlorate
* is an oxidizer in solid rocket propellant.
* is used for fireworks, ammunition, and component of rocket fuel
  - missile fuel
  - in the manufacture of rocket fuel
  - more, though
  - very soluble and is mobile in groundwater and surface water
* strong oxidizer and potentially explosive.
+ Potassium perchlorate, Uses: Potassium compounds :: Chlorine compounds
  * It is used as a rocket propellant. It can also be used in fireworks and other explosives. Ammonium perchlorate is used more, though.

Phenol red
* can inhibit phase II glucuronidation reactions.
  - yellow when acidic and red when alkaline
* turns an organic acid pink upon contact.

### chemical compounds | protein | antibody | monoclonal:

Human tumor
* Most human tumors are monoclonal.
* antigens are ready to fly.

### chemical compounds | protein | cytokine | lymphokine:

Interleukin
* are another type of hormone generated by white blood cells
  - chemicals that make the B cells become an antibody factory
  - highly redundant and pleitrophic, controlling a wide range of functions
  - hormone-like substances produced by the body
* can make chains with any number of antibody molecules linked together.
* cause a marked decease in synthesis of plasma proteins other than albumin.
* have antitumor activity and can selectively lyse tumor cells.
* is cytokines
* stimulates the body to produce more white blood cells
  - growth of white cells, the body's main defence mechanism

### chemical compounds | protein | plasma protein | clotting factor:

Calcium ion
* activate the next protein in a signal-transduction pathway.
* add hardness to the bone matrix.
* are calcium.
* are important components in cell walls
  - to cells , but too many calcium ions can be bad
* are required for each cycle of myosin-actin interaction
  - the sarcomere
  - second messengers
  - similar in size to yttrium ions but have a smaller positive charge
  - very reactive
  - vital in the activation of contraction in muscle
* can move about more readily at the grain boundaries than within the grains.
* clotting factor
* follow and extend the depolarization even further.
* have diverse functions in the regulation of cell function.
* improve beer fining performance.
* inhibit the enzyme under all conditions.
* interact with residues contained within the loop region.
* is calcium
* play a dual role in muscle contraction.
* pour in, again playing a signaling role in mobilizing the organism's defenses.
* promote rapid mechanically evoked movements of hair bundles.
* protect the enzyme a-amylase from inhibition by heat.
* trigger active sliding of the filaments, which produces muscle shortening.
+ Calcium, Occurrence, Calcium in cells: Alkaline earth metals
  * Calcium ions are important to cells, but too many calcium ions can be bad. If a cell gets more calcium ion than it needs it can die. This is why the amount of calcium ion in cells is highly regulated. Conversely, not enough calcium ion is bad. Cells must have the right amount to function properly.

Fibrinogen
* are proteins.
* binds blood platelets together, thus initiating abnormal arterial blood clot formation
  - abnormal arterial blood clots
* influx into the arterial wall as a mediator of intimal proliferation.
