Malignant phaeochromocytomas

Grossman Ashley

The great majority of phaeochromocytomas are benign, but some 10–15% are found to be malignant, the proportion being higher when they are extra-adrenal, paragangliomas. Malignant behaviour is hard to predict, and there are few histopathological features that are consistently of use. There are novel biochemical and molecular markers, but none has proven to be as yet especially reliable although elevated urinary methoxytyramine seems to be useful. At present, size is proba...

Hormone misuse in sport and leisure

Holt Richard

When humans are placed in a competitive setting, particularly in the sporting arena, they will attempt to gain an advantage over their opponent in order to win. When all legitimate methods have been exhausted and the athlete has reached their peak performance, there is a temptation for some to seek out pharmacological methods to improve performance yet further.The earliest records of doping in sport come from ancient times but with the advent of modern p...

Nanometre-resolution imaging of hormonal secretion in living cells in real time

Duncan Rory

Biochemists have defined a probably complete catalogue of proteins involved in insulin secretion. Similarly, over the last two decades, biochemists and physiologists have defined the physical characteristics of different types of ion channels that underlie normal pancreatic beta cell physiology. What is missing is information describing the ‘wheres and whens’: where are these proteins (i.e. not just for example on the surface of a cell, but how are the single protein...
