It produces decreased synthesis of both cortisol and sex steroid s, with resulting increase in mineralocorticoid production. Thus, common symptoms include mild hypocortisolism , ambiguous genitalia in genetic males or failure of the ovaries to function at puberty in genetic females, and hypertension respectively . Pathophysiology Image DHEA1.svg thumb right 300px 17 hydroxylase converts pregnenolone and progesterone to their 17 hydroxy forms. It corresponds to the first two downward arrows in this reaction scheme. This form of CAH results from deficiency of the enzyme 17 hydroxylase also called CYP17A1 . It accounts for less than 5 of the cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner with a reported incidence of about 1 in 50,000 births. The most common abnormal allele s of this condition impair both the 17 hydroxylase activity and the 17,20 lyase activity of CYP17A1. Like other forms of CAH, 17 hydroxylase deficiency impairs the efficiency of cortisol synthesis, resulting in high levels of ACTH secretion and hyperplasia of the adrenal glands. Clinical ... gland.

There is a wide spectrum of clinical presentations of 3 HSD CAH, from mild to severe forms. The uncommon severe form results from a complete loss of enzymatic activity and manifests itself in infancy as salt wasting due to the loss of mineralocorticoids . Milder forms resulting from incomplete loss of 3 HSD type II function do not present with adrenal crisis, but can still produce virilization of genetically female infants and undervirilization of genetically male infants. As a result, this form of primary hypoadrenalism is the only form of CAH that can cause ambiguous genitalia in both genetic sexes.

The luteinized cells produce androgens , which may lead to hirsutism and virilization or masculinization . ref Stead, Stead, Kaufman, Suarez 2009 . First Aid for the Obstretrics & Gynecology Clerkship Second Edition. McGraw Hill ref See also Sexual differentiation Secondary sex characteristic s Ambiguous genitalia Androgen Clitoromegaly Hirsutism The term hyperthecosis refers to the presence of nests of luteinized theca cells in the ovarian stroma due to differentiation of the ovarian interstitial cells into steroidogenically active luteinized stromal cells. These nests or islands of luteinized theca cells are scattered throughout the stroma of the ovary, rather than being confined to areas around cystic follicles as in the polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS . The result is greater production of androgens. The clinical features of hyperthecosis are similar to those of PCOS. However, women with hyperthecosis often have more markedly elevated testosterone, more hirsutism, and are much more likely to be virilized. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of ovarian hyperthecosis are discussed here.

Hypertrophy from Greek excess nourishment is the increase in the volume of an organ or tissue due to the enlargement of its component Cell biology cells . It should be distinguished from hyperplasia , in which the cells remain approximately the same size but increase in number. Although hypertrophy and hyperplasia are two distinct processes, they frequently occur together, such as in the case of the hormone hormonally induced proliferation and enlargement of the cells of the uterus during pregnancy . Examples of hypertrophy Muscular hypertrophy Main Muscle hypertrophy One of the two most common and visible forms of organ hypertrophy occurs in skeletal muscles in response to strength training known as muscle hypertrophy . Depending on the type of training, the hypertrophy can occur through increased sarcoplasm ic volume or increased Sliding filament mechanism contractile proteins .
