PURPOSE: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune thyroid disease characterized by T lymphocyte-mediated destruction of thyroid follicles. To study the pathogenesis of HT and the efficacy of new substances for its treatment, an easily obtained and adequate to the human disease experimental model is needed. The aim of our study was to find out whether it is possible to induce experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) similar to Hashimoto's thyroiditis by injecting with thyroglobulin (Tg) without using agents that enhance its thyroiditogenicity and without taking into account the genetic sensitivity of animals...

AIM: Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a stress response cytokine that has been proposed as a relevant metabolic hormone. Descriptive studies have shown that plasma GDF15 levels are regulated by short term changes in nutritional status, such as fasting, or in obesity. However, few data exist regarding how GDF15 levels are regulated in peripheral tissues. The aim of the present work was to study the variations on gastric levels of GDF15 and its precursor under different physiological conditions, such as short-term changes in nutritional status or overfeeding achieved by HFD...

PURPOSE: Tall stature is defined as height greater than the threshold of more than 2 standard deviations above the average population height for age, sex, and ethnicity. Many studies have described the main aspects of this condition during puberty, but an analysis of the characteristics that the physician should consider in the differential diagnosis of gigantism-tall stature secondary to a pituitary tumour-during the transition age (15-25 years) is still lacking. METHODS: A comprehensive search of English-language original articles was conducted in the MEDLINE database (December 2021-March 2022)...

PURPOSE: The finding of mTOR overactivation in patients affected by pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (Pa-NETs) led to their treatment with the mTOR inhibitor everolimus. Unfortunately, the efficacy of everolimus is restricted by the occurrence of resistance. The mechanisms leading to Pa-NETs' progression and resistance are not well understood. Notably, chronic inflammation is implicated in NET development. NF-kB is involved in inflammation and drug resistance mechanisms through the activation of several mediators, including STAT3...
