Abstract:
Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy includes an heterogeneous group of genetic diseases, including the pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia and pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism. Features of this disease are: round faces, over-weight, subcutaneous calcifications and brachydactylia. Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia is associated with laboratory abnormalities such as hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia due to parathormone resistance. Furthermore, these patients may present peripheral resistance to other hormones, such as gonadotrophins and thyroids. Pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism has no peripheral resistance to these hormones. We present three patients evaluated in our hospital with clinical manifestations of Albright's syndrome.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...

The ER provides optimal conditions for synthesizing steroid hormones and lipids, such as phospholipids and triglycerides. Traditionally, lipid metabolism was considered to be a smooth ER function. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that rough ER is completely excluded from lipid...
