1) Deficiency of sodium in the blood; salt depletion.
2) Lower than normal levels of sodium in the circulating blood.

1) Degenerative changes in the macula lutea of the retina.
2) Deterioration of the macula lutea in the retina; may be inherited, drug induced, or due to aging; leads to a severe loss of central vision while peripheral vision is retained.

1) Deoxyribonucleic acid. The molecules inside cells that carry genetic information and pass it from one generation to the next.
2) DNA is the chemical name for the molecule that carries genetic instructions in all living things. The DNA molecule consists of two strands that wind around one another to form a shape known as a double helix. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases--adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). The two strands are held together by bonds between the bases; adenine bonds with thymine, and cytosine bonds with guanine. The sequence of the bases along the backbones serves as instructions for assembling protein and RNA molecules.
