0 a liquid that is added to water in order to lower the temperature at which it freezes, used especially in car radiators (= cooling systems) in very cold weather -- 防凍劑，阻凍劑；抗凝劑；（尤指用於汽車散熱器中的）防凍液
Survival of mouse blastocysts slow cooled in propanediol or ethylene glycol is influenced by the thawing procedure, sucrose and antifreeze proteins.
These various antifreeze molecules disrupt or arrest the growth of ice crystals in the animal's body and hence prevent freezing.
Antifreeze protein modulates cell survival during cryopreservation: mediation through influence on ice crystal growth.
Other survival strategies include the synthesis of stress proteins, reduction in cell size, dormancy or sporulation, or the use of antifreeze intracellular solutions (elaborated on below).
Chapter 4 examines the remarkable story of the evolution of groups of glycol-proteins and peptides that act as antifreezes, allowing fish to live at polar water temperatures.
The addition of antifreeze will not impair the efficacy of disinfectants during frost.
There seems to be a very strong case for insisting that this particular material, antifreeze solution, should be in marked containers.
Sometimes counterfeit medicines for simple illnesses such as coughs can even cause umpteen deaths, as they have had toxic chemicals added that are normally used in products such as antifreeze.
