Noun
/taɪp θriː ˌɡlaɪkəˈnoʊsɪs/
Type III glycogenosis, also known as amylopectinosis or Cori disease, is a metabolic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down glycogen, a stored form of glucose. Individuals with this condition have a deficiency in an enzyme called glycogen debranching enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down glycogen into glucose for energy use. This disorder leads to the accumulation of glycogen in various tissues, particularly the liver and muscles.
Type III glycogenosis is a medical term and is primarily used in written contexts, particularly within the fields of medicine, biochemistry, and genetics. Its usage is less common in everyday spoken conversation unless discussing specific health topics.
Type III glycogenosis is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects muscle and liver function.
(Tipo III glicogenosis é uma rara doença genética que afeta principalmente a função muscular e hepática.)
The symptoms of type III glycogenosis can include muscle weakness and hypoglycemia.
(Os sintomas da glicogenose tipo III podem incluir fraqueza muscular e hipoglicemia.)
Diagnosis of type III glycogenosis often requires genetic testing and biochemical analysis.
(O diagnóstico da glicogenose tipo III geralmente requer testes genéticos e análises bioquímicas.)
Since "type III glycogenosis" does not commonly feature in idiomatic expressions due to its specific medical nature, let’s explore expressions that are relevant in medical contexts:
Caught between a rock and a hard place: Patients may feel caught between a rock and a hard place when managing symptoms of type III glycogenosis, as they must balance medication, diet, and exercise.
(Os pacientes podem se sentir entre a espada e a parede ao gerenciar os sintomas da glicogenose tipo III, pois precisam equilibrar medicação, dieta e exercício.)
At the end of one's rope: Families of those with type III glycogenosis may find themselves at the end of their rope when seeking treatment options.
(As famílias de quem tem glicogenose tipo III podem se sentir no seu limite ao buscar opções de tratamento.)
Burning the candle at both ends: Parents of children diagnosed with type III glycogenosis often find themselves burning the candle at both ends, juggling work and caregiving.
(Os pais de crianças diagnosticadas com glicogenose tipo III costumam estar queimando a vela dos dois lados, equilibrando trabalho e cuidados.)
Take it one day at a time: People living with type III glycogenosis are often advised to take it one day at a time, focusing on managing their symptoms.
(As pessoas que vivem com glicogenose tipo III frequentemente são aconselhadas a levar um dia de cada vez, focando em gerenciar seus sintomas.)
The term "glycogenosis" derives from the combination of "glycogen," which comes from the Greek "glykys" meaning "sweet," and "genesis," from Greek "gennan," meaning "to produce." The "type III" designation specifies a particular category among various glycogen storage diseases.
Synonyms: Cori disease, amylopectinosis, glycogen storage disease type III
Antonyms: There are no direct antonyms for this medical term as it defines a specific condition rather than an action or concept that can be opposed.
