Phosphofructokinase deficiency; Other names: Glycogen storage disease type VII or Tarui's disease [1] [2] A rendering of the human muscular form of phosphofructokinase. Mutations in the production of this enzyme are the cause of Tarui's disease. [3] The symmetry of the enzyme is a result of its tetrameric structure. Specialty: Endocrinology ...
Type 1 von Willebrand Disease in dogs. Type 1 von Willebrand Disease is the most common type, and also the mildest. It occurs when dogs have a mild deficiency in all the proteins making up their ...
If left untreated, the condition can lead to cataracts, increasing weakness in the legs (neuropathy), malnutrition, ketoacidosis, dehydration, and death. [2] Diabetes mainly affects middle-aged and older dogs, but there are juvenile cases. [3][4][5] The typical canine diabetes patient is middle-aged, female, and overweight at diagnosis.
0.2% to 0.28% of dogs. Cushing's syndrome disease, also known as hyperadrenocorticism and spontaneous hypercortisolism, is a condition resulting from an endocrine disorder where too much adrenocorticotropic and cortisol hormones are produced, causing toxicity. It may arise in animals as well as in humans. [1]
Endocrinology. Glycogen storage disease type II (GSD-II), also called Pompe disease, and formerly known as GSD-IIa or Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy 2V, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder [1] which damages muscle and nerve cells throughout the body. It is caused by an accumulation of glycogen in the lysosome due to deficiency of the ...
Biopsy shows either abnormal accumulation or deficit of glycogen. Causes. Genetic. 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 enzyme-catalysed transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP is an important reaction in a wide variety of biological processes. [1] Phosphofructokinase catalyses the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, a key regulatory step in the glycolytic pathway. [2][3] It is allosterically inhibited by ATP and ...
Dr. Molly lists three things that she wishes that pawrents would pay more attention to: preventative care, watching our pets' weight, and why physical and mental exercise are so important. She ...
