Gigantism Partial

Partial gigantism (g partialis) is a pathology that is characterized by an enlargement of one muscle or group of muscles. This occurs due to an increase in the volume of muscle fibers that contain the protein prolactin. As a result, the muscle becomes larger and more massive, and can also acquire a specific shape.

The causes of partial gigantism are unknown, but there are several theories that may explain its development. One of them suggests that an increase in the amount of prolactin synthesis occurs due to stimulation by growth hormone or another hormone. It is also possible that a defect in the genes responsible for regulating protein synthesis leads to
