| TextSentencer_T4 |
241-262 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PATIENTS AND METHODS: |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
263-506 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Tissues of 14 aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA), of one unilateral adrenal hyperplasia and of six healthy adult adrenal glands; 12 patients with confirmed PA due to APA; (n=5), idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (n=7) and 8 control subjects (C). |
| TextSentencer_T6 |
507-680 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The tissues were subjected to a quantitative PCR for determination of mRNA expression levels of AT2R1, GIPR, MC2R, GnRHR, LHR, TRHR, TSHR, glucagon-R, V1aR, V2R, and 5-HT4R. |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
681-855 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The patients and controls were enrolled in a test protocol consisting of stimulation by posture, mixed meal, ACTH, GnRH, TRH, glucagon, vasopressin, and metoclopramide (MCP). |
| TextSentencer_T8 |
856-905 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Three patients could be analyzed by both studies. |
| TextSentencer_T9 |
906-1004 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A positive response was defined as an aldosterone increase of more than 50% following stimulation. |
| TextSentencer_T10 |
1005-1013 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| TextSentencer_T11 |
1014-1085 |
Sentence |

| TextSentencer_T12 |
1086-1146 |
Sentence |
denotes |
LHR mRNA was found in normal adrenals and 13 adrenal tumors. |
| TextSentencer_T13 |
1147-1253 |
Sentence |
denotes |
By contrast with normal adrenals tumorous adrenal tissue expressed GnRHR mRNA (4/15) and TSHR mRNA (1/15). |
| TextSentencer_T14 |
1254-1336 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both the patients and controls responded to posture, ACTH, glucagon, AVP, and MCP. |
| TextSentencer_T15 |
1337-1441 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Specific responses were seen in one patient following TRH and three patients following GnRH stimulation. |
| TextSentencer_T16 |
1442-1454 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
| TextSentencer_T17 |
1455-1582 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We provide evidence for peptide hormone responsiveness to various peptide hormones in patients with PA, including GnRH and TRH. |
| TextSentencer_T18 |
1583-1723 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A good correlation between clinical and molecular testing could be observed, making an involvement of the receptor expressed in PA possible. |
