What happens during the disease - myopathy in endocrine diseases
Myopathy in endocrine diseases is caused by an imbalance of hormones that can lead to an abnormal breakdown of muscle proteins, resulting in muscle weakness and pain. this can be due to an overproduction of hormones, such as cortisol, or an underproduction of hormones, such as thyroid hormones. in either case, the imbalance of hormones causes the muscles to break down more quickly than they can be replaced, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue.
