An antacid is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity, which in turn relieves heartburn.reatment with antacids alone is symptomatic and only justified for minor symptoms. Antacids are distinct from acid-reducing drugs like H2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors and they do not kill the bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, which causes most ulcers.
inÂ·terÂ·leuÂ·kin-Â·1. A cytokine, derived primarily from mononuclear phagocytes, that enhances the proliferation of T-helper cells and the growth and differentiation of B cells. Il-1 induces the release of Il-2. When secreted in larger quantities, IL-1 is a mediator of inflammation, entering the bloodstream and causing fever, inducing synthesis of acute phase proteins, and initiating metabolic wasting.
An interneuron (also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) is one of the three classifications of neurons found in the human body. Interneurons create neural circuits, enabling communication between sensory or motor neurons and the central nervous system (CNS).They have been found to function in reflexes, neuronal oscillations, and neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain.nlike the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the central nervous system, including the brain, contains many interneurons. In the neocortex (making up about 80% of the human brain), approximately 20-30% of neurons are interneurons.
