Leading cause of death (2016) (world) The following is a list of the causes of human deaths worldwide for different years arranged by their associated mortality rates. In 2002, there were about 57 million deaths.
A glycogen storage disease (GSD, also glycogenosis and dextrinosis) is a metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of an enzyme or transport protein affecting glycogen synthesis, glycogen breakdown, or glucose breakdown, typically in muscles and/or liver cells.
The long unbranched molecules have low solubility, leading to glycogen precipitation in the liver. These deposits subsequently build up in the body tissue, especially the heart and liver. The inability to break down glycogen in muscle cells causes muscle weakness. The probable result is cirrhosis and death within five years.
In glycogen storage diseases, however, glycogen cannot be properly broken down, leading to inappropriately decreased glucose levels in a fasting state, and thus hypoglycemia. [3] The glycogen storage diseases associated with hypoglycemia include type 0 , type I , type III , and type IV , as well as Fanconi syndrome .
Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I) is an inherited disease that prevents the liver from properly breaking down stored glycogen, which is necessary to maintain adequate blood sugar levels. GSD I is divided into two main types, GSD Ia and GSD Ib, which differ in cause, presentation, and treatment.
Diabetes rates at county levels 2004 - 2009. Diabetes rates in the United States, 1994-2010 Diabetes rates in the United States, like across North America and around the world, have been increasing substantially.The diagnosis of diabetes has quadrupled in the last 30 years in America, increasing from 5.5 million in 1980 to 21.1 million in 2010 ...
Heart disease and cancer continued to be the top causes of death, even as COVID emerged as a leading killer in 2020 and 2021. CDC reveals leading causes of death for the past 5 years. Here are 5 ...
The protein is an enzyme that normally degrades the alpha -1,4 and alpha -1,6 linkages in glycogen, maltose and isomaltose and is required for the degradation of 1–3% of cellular glycogen. The deficiency of this enzyme results in the accumulation of structurally normal glycogen in lysosomes and cytoplasm in affected individuals
