Intestinal enterokinase deficiency.
Enterokinase is an enzyme secreted by the mucosa of the small intestine and is responsible for the conversion of trypsinogen to its active product, trypsin. Its key role in initiating the formation of proteolytic enzymes from their inactive precursors is illustrated in Fig. 1. When the pancreatic zymogens reach the duodenum, trypsin is formed by the action of enterokinase on trypsinogen and thi...
متن کاملLiver status in congenital, untreated, isolated GH deficiency
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to be associated with insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, and low serum IGF1 levels. We have described a large cohort of patients with isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) due to the c.57+1G→A mutation in the GHRH receptor gene. These subjects have increased insulin sensitivity (IS), delayed atherosclerosis, and normal longevity. We hypothesized that,...
متن کاملThyroid ultrasonography in congenital isolated thyroid stimulating hormone deficiency.
The effects of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) deficiency on thyroid development was examined using ultrasonography in a child with congenital isolated TSH deficiency. Ultrasound revealed the thyroid gland was one sixth normal volume, suggesting that TSH plays an important part in thyroid growth, but not a critical role in differentiation.
متن کاملSerum free thyrotropin subunit in congenital isolated thyrotropin deficiency.
In two patients with congenital isolated thyrotropin (TSH) deficiency, serum TSH determined by a sensitive immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) was consistently undetectable. The basal levels of serum free TSH-alpha subunit (TSH-alpha) determined by a specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) were elevated in the hypothyroid state, and decreased to the undectable level during displacement therapy with thyroid ...
متن کاملCongenital Pancreatic Lipase Deficiency.
The purpose of this communication is to record two families, each consisting of two children. The four children have presented an identical clinical picture associated with a congenital severe reduction of pancreatic lipase, and have responded to persistent treatment with lipase given as pancreatin. A brief reference was made to Case 1 in the Charles West Lecture, delivered before the Royal Col...
