About this listen

Providing a comprehensive reference for terms across several scientific and medical disciplines. The document opens with a preface discussing the historical interrelation of health and nutrition and tracing the use of medicinal substances from antiquity, citing the Ebers Papyrus as an early example of phytotherapy. The bulk of the excerpt offers definitions of terms, often categorized by area—such as Pharmacology (Pharm.), Biotechnology (Enz.), Cytology (Cyt.), Hormonology (Horm.), Molecular Science (Mol.), and Pharmaceutical Technology (Prod.)—and typically includes equivalents in German, French, and Portuguese. Topics covered range broadly from vitamin deficiencies and drug administration methods (e.g., systemic absorption and percutaneous effects) to detailed concepts in molecular biology, enzymatic reactions, and the complex processes of pharmaceutical manufacturing like tabletting, purification, and various chemical compositions.
