The role of epithelial growth factors and insulin growth factors in the adrenal neoplasms.
Human fetal and adult adrenal gland express both insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF-2, their receptors (IGF-Rs) and a variety of specific IGF binding proteins suggesting their potential role in the regulation of adrenal growth and function.

Tunable and Sensitive Detection of Cortisol using Anisotropic Phosphorene with a Surface Plasmon Resonance Technique: Numerical Investigation [PDF]
Tunable and ultrasensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are highly desirable for monitoring stress hormones such as cortisol, a steroid hormone formed in the adrenal glands in the human body. This paper describes the detection of cortisol using a bimetallic SPR sensor based on highly anisotropic two-dimensional material, i.e., phosphorene ...
