Sometimes simple lifestyle changes are not sufficient heart disease treatment. Medication is an effective way to treat many types of heart disease symptoms. Some drugs may address elevated blood pressure or heart arrhythmias, while others work to thin the blood or lower cholesterol levels.
Noun. 1. hydrolysis-a chemical reaction in which water reacts with a compound to produce other compounds; involves the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion from the water.he reaction of water with another chemical compound to form two or more products, involving ionization of the water molecule and usually splitting the other compound. Examples include the catalytic conversion of starch to glucose, saponification, and the formation of acids or bases from dissolved ions.
The converse of dehydration synthesis is hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, that is, builds molecules up â at the expense of energy (endergonic reaction) â while hydrolysis breaks molecules apart, liberating energy (exergonic reaction). ATP, for example, is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate via an energy-requiring dehydration synthesis reactions, and is converted back to ADP in the course of a hydrolysis reaction.
