Gigantism leads to the development of hyperglycemia because of an overproduction of the growth hormone. Presence of the growth hormone causes a shift from preferred carbohydrate (glucose) catabolism to lipid catabolism. The glucose is then left in the blood resulting in hyperglycemia.
Myoclonus multiplex is characterized by the presence of multiple myoclonic jerks, often resulting from various underlying conditions. It can be caused by neurological disorders such as progressive myoclonic epilepsy, certain metabolic disorders, or exposure to toxins. Additionally, it may occur as a side effect of certain medications or due to infections affecting the central nervous system. Diagnosis typically involves identifying the underlying cause to determine the appropriate management.
Hyperglycemia is the result of insufficient insulin secretion by the pancreas, resulting in high blood glucose levels and the loss of glucose from the body in the urine (glycosuria). When sugars cannot be used as cellular fuel, more fats are mobilized, resulting in high fatty acid levels in the blood, a condition called Lipdemia.
Spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs) are a wide group of genetic disorders characterized by primary degeneration of anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, resulting in progressive muscle weakness.
There are hundreds of them. Amino acidopathies and organic acidemias, resulting from disorders in amino or fatty acid catabolism, Dysfunction of the enzyme glutaryl CoA dehydrogenase prevents the metabolism of tryptophan, hydroxylysine, and lysine, resulting in increased urine glutaric acid metabolites, and cerebral organic acidopathies resulting from defects in the leucine catabolic pathway among many more.
A large group of diseases characterized by a condition in the immune system is known as autoimmune disorders. In these conditions, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. Common examples include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. These disorders can affect various organs and systems, resulting in a wide range of symptoms and complications.
Diseases resulting from cell malfunction include cancer, where uncontrolled cell division occurs, and autoimmune disorders, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, arise when cells fail to properly utilize insulin or glucose. Additionally, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's involve the malfunction of neurons, leading to cognitive decline.
To reduce or completely get rid of pain resulting from injuries or disorders.
An ametropia is any of a group of disorders of the eye resulting from faulty refractive ability.
The pH of the body can increase, becoming more alkaline, primarily due to a decrease in carbon dioxide levels, often caused by hyperventilation. Additionally, excessive intake of alkaline substances, such as bicarbonate, or conditions like chronic vomiting, which leads to a loss of stomach acid, can also raise body pH. Metabolic alkalosis, resulting from certain metabolic disorders, can further contribute to an elevated pH.
The biological model views psychological disorders as resulting from abnormalities in brain structure, neurotransmitter imbalances, or genetic predispositions. It emphasizes the role of biological factors in the development and expression of mental health conditions.
No, you should not try the metabolic diet, because it could put a strain on your immune system, resulting in catastrophic consequences to your body. Don't risk it!
