• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

  Five cases met the Centers for Disease Control criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome. Fatigue questionnaires revealed scores of 25.1 /- 2.5 in 18 adults with the mutation vs. 4.2 /- 1.5 in 23 healthy controls (P 0.0001). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Some people with CBG deficiency also have chronic fatigue syndrome. CGB deficiency is caused by mutations in the SERPINA6 gene. The SERPINA6 gene is commonly also referred to as the CBG gene. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  Some people with corticosteroid-binding globulin deficiency also have a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

• Malnutrition

  For example, states of protein malnutrition, observed in chronic liver or renal diseases, gastrointestinal malnutrition, anorexia, marasmus, and kwashiorkor, are associated with secondary TBG deficiency. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Increased circulating SHBG levels have been shown to be associated with malnutrition, cachexia, anorexia nervosa, some cancers, anabolic deficiency, and a predominance of catabolism. [revespcardiol.org]

• Sore Throat

  The features of chronic fatigue syndrome are prolonged fatigue that interferes with daily activities, as well as general symptoms, such as sore throat or headaches. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  This condition involves prolonged episodes of extreme tiredness (fatigue) that can last for months and interfere with daily activities, as well as general symptoms, such as sore throat or headaches. [forums.phoenixrising.me]

• Suggestibility

  Rodent studies suggest that corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) modulates glucocorticoid action in adipose tissue. In humans, both genetic CBG deficiency and suppressed CBG concentrations in hyperinsulinemic states are associated with obesity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The literature suggests 47 to 59 mcg/mL as the range of TBG values expected during the third trimester of pregnancy. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

  These results suggest that dedifferentiation of endometrial cancers induces a reduction in intracellular CBG synthesis [3]. [wikigenes.org]

  Their role in patients with HF with a deranged balance between anabolic and catabolic stimuli may suggest an interesting therapeutic approach, though further studies are warranted. SEE ARTICLE ON PAGES 1381-7 Correspondence: E.A. [revespcardiol.org]
