A case of post-traumatic isolated ACTH deficiency with spontaneous recovery 9 months after the event.

Expression of guanylyl cyclase-B (GC-B/NPR2) receptors in normal human fetal pituitaries and human pituitary adenomas implicates a role for C-type natriuretic peptide.

TL;DR: These data are the first to show NPR2 expression in normal human fetal and adult pituitaries and adenomatous pituitary tissue and suggest a role for these receptors in both pituitsary development and oncogenesis, introducing a new target to manipulate these processes in pituitARY adenomas.
