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 ...

The dark sides of the GPCR tree ‐ research progress on understudied GPCRs
Abstract A large portion of the human GPCRome is still in the dark and understudied, consisting even of entire subfamilies of GPCRs such as odorant receptors, class A and C orphans, adhesion GPCRs, Frizzleds and taste receptors. However, it is undeniable that these GPCRs bring an untapped therapeutic potential that should be explored further.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cell function by transducing signals from the extracellular environment to the inside of the cell. They mediate the effects of various stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, ions, photons, food tastants and odorants, and are renowned drug targets.

Ketotic Hypoglycaemia Following Sleeve Gastrectomy
ABSTRACT Post‐bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia is typically mediated by hyperinsulinaemia, although the exact mechanisms are incompletely understood. Two cases of non‐insulin mediated, ketotic hypoglycaemia following sleeve gastrectomy are presented. After fasting for 40 and 65 h, respectively, both patients developed symptomatic hypoglycaemia, with ...

Hypersomatotropism and Hypercortisolism Caused by a Plurihormonal Pituitary Adenoma in a Dog
ABSTRACT A 12‐year‐old, male Labrador Retriever was presented because of polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, joint pain, and physical features consistent with acromegaly. Circulating insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) concentration was increased (> 1000 ng/mL; reference interval [RI], 42–449), suggestive of hypersomatotropism.
