De Brasi Davide , Novizio Roberto , Scarano Elisabetta , Barba Livia , Serino Domenico , Novizio Vincenzo , Scavuzzo Francesco

Introduction: Adipose tissue is recognized as an important endocrine organ, secreting many endocrine factors. Adiponectin is the most abundant peptide released into circulation, encoded by ADIPOQ gene localized in chromosome 3q27.3. Adiponectin decreases intracellular ceramide, implicated in insulin resistance, inflammation and atherosclerosis. It stimulates fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle and inhibits glucose production in the liver. Hypo-adiponectinemia plays a centr...

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare type of tumor that originates from parafollicular C-cells and accounts for 3–4% of all malignant thyroid neoplasms. MTC presents as sporadic (75–80%) or inherited tumors (20–25%). Hereditary MTC is part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). Aim of the study was to describe clinical presentation, prognosis and therapy of sporadic MTC patients. Sixty-seven patients (pts) with histologically confirmed MTC refe...
