Acth receptor mRNA in human adrenocortical tumors: Overexpression in aldosteronomas
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that ACTH receptor (ACTH-R) mRNA is expressed in cortisol-secreting adrenal tumors, with significant differences between adenomas and carcinomas. In order to complete the study we have now evaluated 11 aldosteronomas (APA), 14 non-hypersecreting adenomas, 2 androgen-secreting adenomas and 8 normal adrenal glands. The level of ACTH-R mRNA was evaluated by competitive RT-PCR using a...
