Qualifier English: metabolism
Qualifier Spanish: metabolismo
Descriptor metabolismo
Scope note: Usado con órganos, células y fracciones subcelulares, organismos y enfermedades para los cambios bioquímicos y el metabolismo. Usado también con medicamentos y sustancias químicas para los cambios catabólicos (ruptura de moléculas complejas en moléculas simples). Para los procesos anabólicos (conversión de moléculas pequeñas a grandes) se usa BIOSÍNTESIS. Para enzimología, farmacocinética y secreción, usar los calificadores específicos.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/Q000378
Scope note: Used with organs, cells and subcellular fractions, organisms, and diseases for biochemical changes. It is used also with drugs and chemicals for catabolic changes (breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones). For anabolic processes (conversion of small molecules into large), BIOSYNTHESIS is used. For enzymology, pharmacokinetics, and secretion use the specific subheadings.
Annotation: subheading only: includes "binding", "catabolism", "conversion", "degradation", "pathway", "splitting", "storage", "utilization"; not for "anabolism": use instead /biosynthesis; for "absorption", "release", "transport", "uptake" /pharmacokinetics is also available; for excretion into the blood use /blood, into the cerebrospinal fluid use /cerebrospinal fluid, into the urine use /urine; for biosynthesis or synthesis use /biosynthesis; for metabolic aspects of enzymes use /enzymology with Category A, B, and C terms
