Initial symptoms of dehydration include dry lips and mouth, dry skin, increased heart rate and decreased urine output. If the dehydration worsens, the heart rate increases more and blood pressure can fall, resulting in light-headedness, dizziness and loss of consciousness. In severe dehydration, s...
heart rate decreased, severe potassium deficiency can lead to respiratory muscle paralysis and death. In addition, low potassium can cause gastrointestinal peristalsis to slow down, leading to intestinal paralysis, increased anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and other symptoms. Clinical medic...

To explore the mechanisms underlying Ank2 deficiency-induced ASD, we generated mice carrying a floxed exon 4 of the Ank2 gene (Ank2fl/fl mice), which encodes the N-terminal region of the protein shared by the short and long Ank2 protein variants (220 and 440 kDa, respectively) (Fig....
There may be decreases in BMR and body temperature, as well as a mild gain in weight. Thyroid hormone plays a vital role in the normal growth of the fetus. A deficiency in this hormone has especially severe effects on brain development. Changes in thyroid hormone levels in the body provoke...
