Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone–Secreting Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Initially Presenting as Gastrinoma: A Case Report

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) account for 1% to 2% of all pancreatic malignancies; approximately one-third are associated with hormone secretion which can result in a range of symptoms. It is rare for pNETs to transform from secreting one type

A case report of adrenocorticotropic hormone to treat recurrent focal segmental glomerular sclerosis post-transplantation and biomarker monitoring [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Recurrent focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (rFSGS) in renal transplant recipients (RTR) is difficult to predict and treat. Early rFSGS is likely from circulating factors and preformed antibodies.

Effect of posterior hypothalamic knife cuts on the baroreflex and hemorrhage-induced hormonal responses. [PDF]

, 1990
We made posterior hypothalamic knife cuts in rats to transect the fibers of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) at the level of the mammillary body. The role of the MFB in the baroreflex and hemorrhage-induced hormonal responses was then examined in the ...

Pesticide Exposure Alters Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Levels in Mexican Agricultural Workers [PDF]

, 2005
Organophosphorous pesticides (OPs) are suspected of altering reproductive function by reducing brain acetylcholinesterase activity and monoamine levels, thus impairing hypothalamic and/or pituitary endocrine functions and gonadal processes. Our objective

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secreting Pheochromocytoma Underlying Glucocorticoid Induced Pheochromocytoma Crisis

Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2018
Context. Pheochromocytomas are hormone secreting tumors of the medulla of the adrenal glands found in 0.1–0.5% of patients with hypertension. The vast majority of pheochromocytomas secrete catecholamines, but they have been occasionally shown to also ...
