Wet Beriberi disease is a type of
Thiamine deficiency
Thiamine deficiency causes impairment of this
Pyruvate dehydrogenase
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a type of
Thiamine deficiency
Two characterizations of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
Wernicke encephalopathy (reversible mental derangements and delirium)
Korsakoff pyschosis (chronic stage)
Characteristic of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome that describes reversible mental derangements and delirium
Wernicke encephalopathy
Characteristic of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome that describes the chronic stage
Korsakoff psychosis
3 main symptoms of thiamine deficiency
Energy deficiency
Lactic acidosis
Neurological damage
Condition caused by mutations in one of 30+ different genes involved in energy production in the mitochondria
Leigh Syndrome
Leigh syndrome largely affects this part of the body
Neurological
Does Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome involve lactic acidosis?
Yes
Does Leigh Syndrome involve lactic acidosis?
Yes
Arsenite inhibits enzymes using this molecule
Lipoic acid
Enzymes inhibited by arsenite
Pyruvate dehydrogenase
Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
Condition caused by deficiency in glucose-6-phosphatase or its transport system
Type I: Von Gierke disease
Condition caused by deficiency in alpha-1,4-glucosidase
Type II: Pompe disease
Condition caused by deficiency in Amylo-1,6-glucosidase (glycogen debranching enzyme)
Type III: Cori disease
Condition caused by deficiency in branching enzyme (alpha-1,4 –> alpha-1,6)
Type IV: Andersen disease
Condition caused by deficiency in glycogen phosphorylase in muscle
Type V: McArdle disease
Condition caused by deficiency in glycogen phosphorylase in liver
Typce VI: Hers disease
