All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Nucleic Acid Synthesis Alteration	NCIT_C40658	[A finding indicating a deficiency or excess in synthesis of nucleic acids.]
Prostaglandin Degradation	NCIT_C40650	[Prostaglandin Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, and/or oxidation of compounds derived primarily from arachidonic acid (cyclooxygenase pathway) (prostaglandins) having potent regulatory effects on the activity of cells involved in host defense and inflammation.]
Eicosanoid Degradation	NCIT_C40648	[Eicosanoid Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, and/or oxidation of hormone-like endogenous unsaturated and oxygenated fatty acid derivatives of arachidonic acid (eicosanoids) that act near the site of synthesis and have a specific regulatory effect on the activity of target cells in host defense reactions, immediate hypersensitivity, and inflammation. Eicosanoids include prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid compounds.]
Thromboxane Degradation	NCIT_C40651	[Thromboxane Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, and/or oxidation of widely distributed compounds formed by cyclooxygenase from polyunsaturated fatty acid prostaglandin endoperoxides (thromboxanes) and have a regulatory effect on platelet aggregation, contraction of arteries, and other biological effects.]
Eicosanoid Production	NCIT_C40652	[Eicosanoid Production consists of synthesis of hormone-like endogenous unsaturated and oxygenated fatty acid derivatives of arachidonic acid (eicosanoids) that act near the site of synthesis and have a specific regulatory effect on the activity of target cells in host defense reactions, immediate hypersensitivity, and inflammation. Eicosanoids include prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid compounds.]
Eicosanoid Modulation	NCIT_C40647	[Eicosanoid Modulation involves a change in the quality of the existing state of activity of hormone-like endogenous unsaturated and oxygenated fatty acid derivatives of arachidonic acid (eicosanoids) that act near the site of synthesis and have a specific regulatory effect on the activity of target cells in host defense reactions, immediate hypersensitivity, and inflammation. Eicosanoids include prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid compounds.]
Leukotriene Production	NCIT_C40653	[Leukotriene Production consists of synthesis of a family of oxidative derivatives of arachidonic acid (5-lipoxygenase pathway) (leukotrienes) having potent regulatory effects on the activity of cardiovascular, pulmonary, central neural, gastrointestinal, and immune system cells involved in host defense, immediate hypersensitivity, and inflammation.]
Thromboxane Production	NCIT_C40655	[Thromboxane Production consists of synthesis of widely distributed compounds formed by cyclooxygenase from polyunsaturated fatty acid prostaglandin endoperoxides (thromboxanes) and have a regulatory effect on platelet aggregation, contraction of arteries, and other biological effects.]
Cholesterol Synthesis Inhibition	NCIT_C40646	[Cholesterol Synthesis Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, the enzymatic formation of the principal sterol of vertebrates in body tissues and blood plasma, an important component of cell membranes, the major precursor for the synthesis of vitamin D and steroid hormones, and an important substance for brain synapses and immune functions.]
Leukotriene Degradation	NCIT_C40649	[Leukotriene Degradation consists of conjugation, transport, and/or oxidation of a family of oxidative derivatives of arachidonic acid (5-lipoxygenase pathway) (leukotrienes) having potent regulatory effects on the activity of cardiovascular, pulmonary, central neural, gastrointestinal, and immune system cells involved in host defense, immediate hypersensitivity, and inflammation.]
SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version - Short of Breath When Bend Over	NCIT_C112699	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 4 Weeks Version (SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version) These are more questions about your cough and shortness of breath these days: I am short of breath when I bend over.]
SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version - Playing Sports or Other Physical Activities	NCIT_C112695	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 4 Weeks Version (SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version) These are questions about what activities usually make you feel short of breath these days: Playing sports or other physical activities.]
SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version - Coughing Hurts	NCIT_C112696	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 4 Weeks Version (SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version) These are more questions about your cough and shortness of breath these days: Coughing hurts.]
Glycogenolysis Inhibition	NCIT_C40640	[Glycogenolysis Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, the activities of biologic molecules or complexes involved in the breakdown of glycogen to glucose by hydrolysis or phosphorolysis.]
SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version - Coughing Makes Me Tired	NCIT_C112697	[St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire Past 4 Weeks Version (SGRQ Past 4 Weeks Version) These are more questions about your cough and shortness of breath these days: Coughing makes me tired.]
Carbohydrate Processing Inhibition	NCIT_C40641	[Carbohydrate Processing Inhibition consists of interference with, or restraint of, activities involved in assembly of carbohydrate-linked structures on cell surfaces, such as inhibition of enzymes responsible for the formation of these structures. Since evidence indicates that carbohydrate structures are involved in intercellular communication, inhibition potentially results in decreased cancer cell growth, invasiveness, and metastasis.]
