Mutations in the CYP11A1 gene result in a steroid hormone deficiency, causing a minority of cases of the rare and potentially fatal condition lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
12.
This theory declared that all biological membranes have a " lipoid " center surrounded by mono-layers of lipid that are covered by protein mono-layers.

"' Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia "'is an endocrine disorder that is an uncommon and potentially lethal form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia ( CAH ).
14.
Onset usually occurs within hours, though symptoms may not appear for several days . Lipoid pneumonia is a rare condition, but is an occupational hazard of fire performers.
15.
Some cases of FGD type 3 are caused by mutations in the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein ( StAR ), with similarity to the nonclassic form of lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
16.
When the mutation in P450scc that causes lipoid CAH is either heterozygous or its presence on both alleles does not completely destroy all function, affected babies can survive to birth as well.
17.
Mineral oil should not be given internally to young children, pets, or anyone with a cough, hiatus hernia, or nocturnal reflux, because it can cause complications such as lipoid pneumonia.
18.
"' Urbach Wiethe disease "'( also known as "'lipoid proteinosis "'and "'hyalinosis cutis et mucosae "') is a rare recessive genetic disorder, with approximately 400 reported cases since its discovery.
19.
In the case of lipoid CAH due to StAR deficiency, when rising gonadotropin levels initiate puberty, despite the inefficiency of sex steroid synthesis, the ovaries will usually make enough estradiol to produce breast development, and in some cases even menarche, with menses continuing for some years.
20.
They interpreted this as meaning that to pass the cell membrane a molecule must be at least sparingly soluble in oil, their lipoid theory of narcosis . Based on this evidence and further experiments, they concluded that the cell membrane might be made of lecithin ( phosphatidylcholine ) and cholesterol.
