TL;DR: The findings suggest that HRPT2 is a tumor-suppressor gene, the inactivation of which is directly involved in predisposition to HPT–JT and in development of some sporadic parathyroid tumors.

TL;DR: Investigation of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patients found that parathyroid tumours were the first manifestation of MEN1 in 87% of patients, and amongst the pituitary and pancreatic tumours, somatotrophinomas and gastrinomas were more common in patients above the age of 40 years, whilst insulinomas occurred more frequently in patients below the ageof 40 years.

TL;DR: The results provide the basis for a molecular-genetic screening approach that will supplement the clinical evaluation and genetic counseling of members of MEN1 families and SSCP was found to be a sensitive and specific mutational screening method that detected >85% of the mutations.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the analgesia observed after electroacupuncture in patients with recurrent pain may be mediated by the release into the CSF of the endogenous opiate, beta-endorphin.

TL;DR: An enkephalin analogue given intravenously to normal subjects raised serum prolactin and growth-hormone levels but lowered serum levels of luteinising hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, cortisol, and corticotrophin.
