Injury Prevention Research Center	IPRC
innate immunity	Immunity that a person is born with. Innate immunity includes certain physical barriers, such as skin and mucous membranes, and fast-acting immune cells, such as natural killer cells.

inoculation	A substance administered to trigger an immune response against a particular disease. Most vaccines are designed to prevent a person from ever having a particular disease or to only have a mild case of the disease. However, therapeutic vaccines are intended to treat specific diseases. Although researchers are testing vaccines both to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, no HIV vaccine is currently approved for use outside of clinical trials.
Pi	inorganic phosphate
InsP3	inositol-1, 4, 5-triphosphate
Insertional activity	IA	Nataly­a Rovin­a
InsP3	inositol-1, 4, 5-triphosphate
Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure	IPAP
installation qualification	IQ	miss_c­um
Instant Pressure Type	IPT
institutional review board (IRB)	An independent committee of medical, scientific, and non-scientific members established to review, approve, and monitor research involving human participants. An institutional review board (IRB) protects the rights and welfare of human participants by assuring that a clinical trial is well designed, does not involve undue risks, and includes safeguards for participants. Any institution conducting or supporting research that involves human participants must appoint an IRB to monitor the research.

insulin	A hormone that is secreted by the pancreas and controls the amount of glucose in the blood. Glucose is the body's main source of energy. Insulin stimulates cells to absorb and use glucose for energy. Without insulin, cells starve for energy and glucose builds up in the blood (hyperglycemia) Insulin also refers to the laboratory-made drug.

insulin resistance	The body's decreasing ability to respond to and use the insulin it produces. As a result, excess glucose builds up in the blood (hyperglycemia) Insulin resistance increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Use of certain antiretroviral (ARV) drugs may cause insulin resistance.
