Vocabulary : Glycocin to Glycoluric

Glycocin : Same as Glycocoll.
Glycocoll : A crystalline, nitrogenous substance, with a sweet taste, formed from hippuric acid by boiling with hydrochloric acid, and present in bile united with cholic acid. It is also formed from gelatin by decomposition with acids. Chemically, it is amido-acetic acid. Called also glycin, and glycocin.
Glycogen : A white, amorphous, tasteless substance resembling starch, soluble in water to an opalescent fluid. It is found abundantly in the liver of most animals, and in small quantity in other organs and tissues, particularly in the embryo. It is quickly changed into sugar when boiled with dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, and also by the action of amylolytic ferments.
Glycogenesis : The production or formation of sugar from gycogen, as in the liver.
Glycogenic : Pertaining to, or caused by, glycogen; as, the glycogenic function of the liver.

Glycogeny : Alt. of Glycogenesis
Glycol : A thick, colorless liquid, C2H4(OH)2, of a sweetish taste, produced artificially from certain ethylene compounds. It is a diacid alcohol, intermediate between ordinary ethyl alcohol and glycerin. ;; Any one of the large class of diacid alcohols, of which glycol proper is the type.
Glycolic : Pertaining to, or derived from, glycol; as, glycolic ether; glycolic acid.
Glycolide : A white amorphous powder, C4H4O, obtained by heating and dehydrating glycolic acid.
Glycoluric : Pertaining to, derived from, glycol and urea; as, glycoluric acid, which is called also hydantoic acid.
