Functional consequences of seven novel mutations in the CYP11B1 Gene: four mutations associated with nonclassic and three mutations causing classic 11 -Hydroxylase Deficiency [PDF]
Context: Steroid 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) deficiency (11OHD) is the second most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Cases of nonclassic 11OHD are rare compared with the incidence of nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Leading to a Diagnosis of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1
ABSTRACT Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare but occasionally encountered. They are generally highly vascularized solid tumors, often round in shape with clear boundaries, defined contours, and a homogeneous internal structure. However, they can also present with atypical features, such as cystic degeneration, hemorrhage, calcification, and ...

An Evaluation of Oral Subchronic Toxicity of Maizinol (UP165), a Zea mays Leaf Extract
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays) has been consumed by humans for millennia and represents the third most abundant crop grown globally. Maize and maize‐derived products have a long history of safe consumption from bread and other cereal products in human diets worldwide. Aside from key dietary components like carbohydrates and proteins, the corn plant contains

ABSTRACT Introduction Adrenal incidentalomas (AI) are commonly found on imaging done for indications other than to assess the adrenal glands. Prevalence increases with age and is around 10% in people over 80 years. The majority of AIs are benign adenomas, with 20%−50% exhibiting mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).

ABSTRACT Objective Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk factors including hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia. By using evening doses of metyrapone, a short‐acting 11‐β hydroxylase inhibitor, it has been shown that it is possible to reset the abnormal circadian cortisol rhythm in MACS ...
