Failure of functional imaging with gallium-68-DOTA-D-Phe1-Tyr3-octreotide positron emission tomography to localize the site of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction The diagnostic efficacy of biochemical and imaging modalities for investigating the causes of Cushing's syndrome are limited. We report a case demonstrating the limitations of these modalities, especially the inability of functional imaging ...

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Secreting Pheochromocytoma.

Internal Medicine, 1998
A 41-year-old female had pheochromocytoma which secreted adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). She was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and excessive sweating. Not only urinary metanephrine but also plasma ACTH was extremely high. An abdominal echogram showed a cystic tumor in the left adrenal gland. An abdominal magnetic resonance imaging

Repeated adrenocorticotropic hormone administration alters adrenal and thyroid hormones in free-ranging elephant seals

Conservation Physiology, 2018
The ability to identify stressed marine mammals is essential for understanding physiological consequences of disturbance. We simulated repeated stress in elephant seals by repeated administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone and examined their ...
