Elevation of growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a mRNA expression in human growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma harboring G protein alpha subunit mutation.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the ghrelin or GHSR-1a mRNA levels and clinical characteristics and to confirm the effect of gsp mutations on ghrelin/GHSR-1a system in human GH-secreting pituitary adenomas.
METHODS: The expression levels of ghrelin, GHSR-1a mRNA we.....
