Even diets of mild protein undernutrition (7.2%) have been shown to have lasting and significant effects in rats. The following are some studies in which prenatal protein deficiency has been shown to have unfavorable consequences. Decreased brain size: Protein deficiency has been shown to affect the size and composition of brains in rhesus monkeys.
She was the first to suggest that this might be a protein deficiency. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The name is derived from the Ga language of coastal Ghana , translated as "the sickness the baby gets when the new baby comes" or "the disease of the deposed child", and reflecting the development of the condition in an older child who has been weaned from the ...
The prevalence of fibromyalgia in gastrointestinal disease has been described mostly for celiac disease [46] and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [ 46 ] [ 44 ] IBS and fibromyalgia share similar pathogenic mechanisms, involving immune system mast cells , inflammatory biomarkers, hormones , and neurotransmitters such as serotonin .
Glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are a group of diseases caused by mutations related to glycogen metabolism. GSD type II (Pompe disease) GSD type V (McArdle disease) GSD type VII (Tarui disease) GSD type XI (Lactate dehydrogenase deficiency) GSD type X (Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency) Phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency
The disease was formerly known as myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (MADD). In virtually all cases, the deficiency has been caused by an SNP mutation, known as rs17602729 or C34T . While it was initially regarded as a recessive (or purely homozygous ) disorder, some researchers have reported the existence of similarly deleterious effects from ...
Marasmus is a form of severe malnutrition characterized by energy deficiency. It can occur in anyone with severe malnutrition but usually occurs in children. Body weight is reduced to less than 62% of the normal (expected) body weight for the age. [1] Marasmus occurrence increases before age 1, whereas kwashiorkor occurrence increases after 18 ...
D-Bifunctional protein deficiency is an autosomal recessive peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation disorder. Peroxisomal disorders are usually caused by a combination of peroxisomal assembly defects or by deficiencies of specific peroxisomal enzymes. The peroxisome is an organelle in the cell similar to the lysosome that functions to detoxify the cell.
glucosyltransferase I deficiency causes ALG6-CDG (CDG-Ic) [22] glucosyltransferase II deficiency causes ALG8-CDG (CDG-Ih). [23] Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-PP-Dol A protein with hitherto unknown activity, MPDU-1, is required for the efficient presentation of Dol-P-Man and Dol-P-Glc. Its deficiency causes MPDU1-CDG (CDG-If). [24]
