Example sentences for: deficiency
How can you use “deficiency” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Normal levels of labeled intermediates were observed from C16 to C4 without evidence for translocase deficiency or any other type of fatty acid oxidation disorder.
8, abnormal less than 100) leading to the diagnosis of sucrase-isomaltase deficiency.
The mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (M6P/IGF2R) maps to chromosome location 6q25-27 [ 14 ] ; a chromosomal region predicted to contain a head and neck tumor suppressor gene [ 10 11 ] . It encodes for a receptor that functions in intracellular lysosomal enzyme trafficking, transforming growth factor beta activation, and IGF2 degradation (reviewed in [ 15 16 ] ). Granzyme B internalization by the M6P/IGF2R is also required for cytotoxic T cells to induce apoptosis in cells targeted for death, resulting in this receptor being referred to as a "death receptor" [ 17 ] . Elevated IGF2 levels during murine development arising from M6P/IGF2R deficiency result in cardiac abnormalities, cleft palate, fetal overgrowth and perinatal lethality [ 15 18 ] . Furthermore, large offspring syndrome frequently observed in cloned animals is associated with epigenetic changes in gene regulation and decreased M6P/IGF2R expression [ 19 ] . Thus, the M6P/IGF2R plays a crucial role in regulating mammalian fetal growth and development.
Several members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily, such as Abca1, are induced via PPARγ and LXRα activation [ 63 ] . Abca1 has been shown to play a role in reverse cholesterol pathways and may be linked to HDL deficiency in metabolic syndromes [ 64 ] . In macrophages, 18:2n6 and AA increased ABCA1 protein degradation without affecting transcriptional levels [ 65 ] . In the current study, Abca1 was significantly decreased by FUNG and FISH.
Streptozotocin injection led to reduced body weight and adiposity in sham-operated animals as previously described [ 5 17 ] (Table 2), whereas adrenalectomy attenuated the loss of both body weight and adiposity associated with insulin deficiency (Table 2).
