TL;DR: It is hypothesize that the different in vitro responsiveness of GH-secreting pituitary adenomas to DA could be due to the presence of multiple forms of DA receptors.

TL;DR: It is proposed that a high R1/R2 ratio favors the proliferation of well differentiated and hormone producing adrenocortical cells, while unbalanced expression of these subunits is not required for malignant transformation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the response of free β‐subunit of LH (LHβ) to TRH is the most useful in‐vivo marker of gonadotroph adenoma in patients with non‐functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA).

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that, although metabolic and cardiovascular abnormalities are present in most acromegalic patients, in these subjects ApN levels are not reduced and, contrary to what is found in BMI-matched controls, do not correlate with cardiovascular risk factors.

TL;DR: In this TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma surgically removed from a hyperthyroid patient showing high serum TSH levels, a normal secretory response to the inhibiting agents (GHRIH and DA) is present and different mechanisms of transduction of the GHRIh and DA signals (cAMP dependent and cAMP independent) could be operating in this tumor.
