macula albida (medicine) and insulin-like growth factor II (medicine)


macula albida (medicine)


macula albida
Gray-white or white, rounded or irregularly shaped, slightly opaque patches or spots that are sometimes observed postmortem in the epicardium, especially in middle-aged or older persons; they result from fibrous thickening, and sometimes hyalinization, of the epicardium; similar lesions may also occur in the visceral layer of the peritoneum.

Synonym: macula lactea, macula tendinea, tache blanche, tache laiteuse, tendinous spot, white spot.


insulin-like growth factor II (medicine)


insulin-like growth factor II
<chemical> A well-characterised neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on somatotropin. It is believed to be a major foetal growth factor in contrast to insulin-like growth factor I, which is a major growth factor in adults.

Chemical name: Insulin-like growth factor II
