The case of a 51 -year-old man with recurrent nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma is presented. Despite clinically and endocrinologically normal pituitary function in regard to growth hormone and prolactin, many growth hormone- and prolactin-positive cells were immunohis-tochemically detected in adenoma tissue. Furthermore, a quite rare tumor of silent mixed growth hormone cell-prolactin cell pituitary adenoma was confirmed by the double-labeling immunoelectron-microscopical study.

Steroid hormone-induced wingless ligands tune female intestinal size in Drosophila.

Nat Commun

Department of Biology, Institute of Genetics, The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany.

Female reproduction comes at great expense to energy metabolism compensated by extensive organ adaptations including intestinal size. Upon mating, endocrine signals orchestrate a 30% net increase of absorptive epithelium. Mating increases production of the steroid hormone Ecdysone released by the Drosophila ovaries that stimulates intestinal stem cell (ISC) divisions.

Steroid hormones, especially progesterone (P), estradiol (E), and testosterone (T), are key bioactive regulators in various female physiological processes, including growth and development, ovulation, and the reproductive cycle, as well as metabolism and mental health. As lipophilic molecules produced in sex glands, these steroid female hormones can be transported through blood vessels into various body fluids such as saliva, sweat, and urine. However, the ultralow concentration of steroid hormones down to picomolar (pM) level necessitates great demands for ultrasensitive but low-cost analytic tools to implement accurate, point-of-care or even continuous monitoring in a user-friendly fashion.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent type of cancer in women worldwide and it is classified into a few distinct molecular subtypes based on the expression of growth factor and hormone receptors. Though significant progress has been achieved in the search for novel medications through traditional and advanced approaches, still we need more efficacious and reliable treatment options to treat different types and stages of BC. Sirtuins (SIRT1-7) a class III histone deacetylase play a major role in combating various cancers including BC.

Thyroid hormones (TH) are major regulators of cell differentiation, growth, and metabolic rate. TH synthesis in the thyroid gland requires high amounts of HO to oxidize iodide for the iodination of thyroglobulin (TG). Retinol Saturase (RetSat) is an oxidoreductase implicated in dihydroretinol formation and cellular sensitivity toward peroxides and ferroptosis.
