Herein, we report currently a 39-year old male with a 13-year history of asymptomatic hypercalcemia (mean 2.88 mmol/l; reference range 2.15–2.55 mmol/l) and mildly elevated parathyroid hormone (mean 68.7 ng/l; reference range 15–65 ng/l). Initially, in years 2007–2010 his laboratory picture was compatible with the diagnosis of Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) with calcium-to-creatinine clearance ratio (Ca/Cr) between 0.008–0.009.Genetic testin...

The purpose of the menstrual cycle is to prepare the egg for fertilization and implantation. The changes and functions of the basic steroid hormones during the menstrual cycle are well known. However, changes to other hormones occur during the menstrual cycle as well, including those influencing the intake of food.

Background: Fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) gene controls the fatty acid metabolism pathway in the human body (Sergeant et al., 2012). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FADS1 gene and percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids inserum lipids was associated (Klingel et al., 2018). Genetically predisposition to higher plasma arachidonic and stearic acid levels were associated with incidence oflarge-artery stroke and venous thromboembolism...
