Food-dependent Cushing's syndrome: from molecular characterization to therapeutical results.
OBJECTIVE Cortisol secretion in ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH) may be regulated by the aberrant expression of several G-protein-coupled receptors. Bilateral adrenalectomy is the treatment of choice in most cases. We searched for aberrant receptor expression in a patient with AIMAH and evaluated the response to medical and surgical treatment. PATIENT A 35-year-old wo...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms - from genes to physiology and disease.
Most physiological processes in our body oscillate in a daily fashion. These include cerebral activity (sleep-wake cycles), metabolism and energy homeostasis, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, renal activity, and hormone as well as cytokine secretion. The daily rhythms in behaviour and physiology are not just acute responses to timing cues provided by the environment, but are driven...
متن کاملNasolabial cyst: diagnostic and therapeutical aspects.
UNLABELLED Nasolabial cyst is a rare lesion situated behind the ala nasi, extending backwards into the inferior nasal meatus and forward into the labio-gingival sulcus. AIM We present our case of a nasolabial cyst, with the purpose of discussing clinical presentation, diagnosis and the more suitable surgical techniques to treat this disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of e...
متن کاملThe physiology and molecular bases of the plant circadian clock.
Periodicity in biology comes in many shapes and sizes. Among the very rapid are ultradian rhythms in the courtship song of the Drosophila male, which recur every 50 to 60 s (Edmunds, 1988). Running at a slightly faster pace is the glycolytic oscillator in yeast, which exhibits selfsustained oscillations in NADH fluorescence. These are typically between 2 and 70 min long, though periods of up to...
متن کاملMolecular bases of circadian rhythmicity in renal physiology and pathology.
The physiological processes that maintain body homeostasis oscillate during the day. Diurnal changes characterize kidney functions, comprising regulation of hydro-electrolytic and acid-base balance, reabsorption of small solutes and hormone production. Renal physiology is characterized by 24-h periodicity and contributes to circadian variability of blood pressure levels, related as well to nych...
