Re: Obesity Why are we gettinG Fat? :epizza:

Graves' disease is a thyroid autoimmune disease where cell receptors are targeted. Myasthenia gravis is another.

Hydroxylase enzymes are the ones most frequently targeted in autoimmune disorders. However, another group of enzymes that are targets are the peroxidases. Hashimoto's disease (another autoimmune thyroid disease) results when the enzyme, thyroid peroxidase is the target.

Decarboxylases are also sometimes the target. I think it's glutamic acid decarboxylase in type 1 diabetes.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
