Adrenal function during childhood and puberty in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (Endocrine Society, 2009)Context: In some patients, PCOS may develop as a consequence of an exaggerated adrenarche during pubertal development. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess adrenal function during childhood and pubertal development ...

(1985)Ketoconazole, an imidazole derivative known to inhibit cytochrome P450-dependent adrenal enzymes was given to a patient with a functioning adrenal rest tumor of the liver in preparation for surgery. The drug was administered ...
-
(2008)RET testing in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 for molecular diagnosis is the paradigm for the practice of clinical cancer genetics. However, precise data for distinct mutation-based risk profiles are not available. ...
-
(1988)In previous studies it was shown that angiotensin II causes a Ca-dependent increase in the K permeability of bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells [Am. J. Physiol. 250 (Endocrinol. Metab. 13): E125-E130, 1986]. Here we show ...
-
(BioScientifica Ltd., 1997)In this work, the involvement of arachidonic acid (AA) in the luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotrophin (LH/hCG) action on Leydig cells was studied. Experiments were first designed to evaluate [14C]AA incorporation ...
-
(Endocrine Society, 2007)Context: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels are increased in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), but it is not known whether other forms of hyperandrogenism, such as PCOS observed in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus ...

Certain large forms of circulating immunoreactive human growth hormone are in fact immunoglobulins (1990)To explain frequent discordances between serum GH levels and clinical manifestation of acromegaly, we investigated the possibility that certain immunoglobulins G (IgGs) might be responsible for the displacement of [125I]human ...
-
(Endocrine Society, 2007)Context: At present, women with type 1 diabetes (DM1) are being treated with supraphysiological doses of exogenous insulin with the aim of providing a strict metabolic control, thereby avoiding the long-term complications ...
-
(2009)Objective Depot luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist have been widely used for the treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP), but the optimal doses to obtain hormonal suppression are still unknown, ...
-
(1991)Angiotensin II acts on adrenal glomerulosa cells to induce the phospholipase C-mediated generation of inositol trisphosphate and sn-1,2-diacyglycerol as the major products of inositol phospholipid breakdown. This last ...
-
(BioScientifica Ltd., 1996)To investigate the effects of testosterone and estradiol (E2) on growth hormone receptor (GH-R) gene expression, we measured GH-R mRNA levels in relation to the changes of sex steroid concentrations in the normal male ...
-
(2009)Background: Fetal exposure to maternal glucocorticoids may determine fetal growth and the programing of later disorders. Availability of the glucocorticoids in the placenta is regulated by the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ...
-
(Endocrine Society, 2007)Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a familial endocrine-metabolic dysfunction, increasingly recognized in adolescent girls with hyperandrogenism. However, it is difficult to establish whether the metabolic ...
