Rare forms of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: hereditary lysosomal acid lipase deficiency
Aim of review. To acquaint general practitioners with a rarely diagnosed disease - the hereditary deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase (DLAL) which can develop under the «mask» non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Summary.

ABSTRACT Liver transplantation (LTx) has become, over the years, an increasingly used therapeutic option in patients with inherited metabolic diseases (IMD). Initially performed for Tyrosinemia Type I and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, it now accounts as the second indication for pediatric transplants worldwide. The use of LTx has been extended

Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is an essential enzyme that hydrolyzes triglycerides (TGs) and cholesteryl esters (CEs) in lysosomes. Genetic LAL mutations lead to Wolman disease (WD) and cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD).

We report an individual with mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB and chronic pancytopenia. Hematological studies in a mouse model revealed microcytic anemia and decreased monocyte count. Hence, pancytopenia is thought to be secondary to mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB, and we suggest that a complete blood count should be included in the clinical ...

Cholesterol Ester Storage Disease in Two Field Spaniels With Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency
ABSTRACT Cholesterol ester storage disease (CESD) is a rare genetic lysosomal storage disorder resulting from lower lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity. LAL is an essential enzyme required in intracellular lipid metabolism, and deficiency results in disability to properly break down and utilize lipids and in the accumulation of especially cholesterol ...

Advanced Imaging and Cytometric Techniques to Characterize Lipid Accumulation in Wolman Disease
ABSTRACT Wolman disease (WD) is a severe lysosomal storage disorder characterized by fatal lipid accumulation caused by the deficiency of a lipid metabolic enzyme, Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL), involved in the lysosomal hydrolysis of cholesterols and triglycerides.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for the Treatment of Lysosomal Storage Disorders
ABSTRACT Lysosomal disorders (LSDs) are a group of rare metabolic disorders, with an overall incidence of 1:4800 to 1:8000 live births. LSDs are primarily caused by dysfunctional lysosomal enzymes, which typically lead to the progressive accumulation of substrates within cellular lysosomes.

Metabolic politics: A comparative synthesis
Short Abstract This paper develops the concept of metabolic politics: a form of power emerging in response to the fraught and unanticipated effects generated by the industrialisation of life. Metabolic politics acts on the transformative capacities of bodies and the circulatory dynamics of materials and, as such, is distinguished from a biopolitics of ...

Abstract Low‐tech river habitat restoration techniques, including Stage 0 treatments, are increasingly applied but often lack robust evaluation of their effects and benefits. In 2018, 1 km of the South Fork McKenzie (SFMK) River, Oregon was modified to Stage 0 conditions for the benefit of ESA‐listed Chinook salmon by raising the incised channel to the

Background Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disease with a wide range of severity from Wolman Disease to Cholesterol Ester Storage Disease. Recently enzyme replacement therapy with sebelipase alpha has been approved by
