Acquired Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

This 2022 narrative review explores the phenomenon of acquired G6PD deficiency, a condition where G6PD enzyme activity is reduced due to non-genetic factors. Unlike the hereditary form, acquired G6PD deficiency arises from biochemical mechanisms that inhibit the enzyme in specific clinical contexts. The review identifies conditions such as hyperaldosteronism, diabetes,

Pregnenolone metabolism in an aldosterone secreting tumor of the adrenal and its adjacent adrenal tissue

This study explores the altered metabolism of pregnenolone in an aldosterone-secreting adrenal tumor and its adjacent adrenal tissue. The findings highlight changes in the steroidogenesis pathways of pregnenolone conversion to aldosterone and other steroid hormones, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of hyperaldosteronism and adrenal tumors. The results could potentially
