Introduction: Pituitary incidentalomas (PIs) defined as pituitary tumors discovered by systematic neuroimaging constitute an increasingly clinical problem. Most of PIs are nonfunctioning tumors (NFPIs) with systematic investigation revealing visual and/or endocrinological impairment in some patients while others remained asymptomatic. If the therapeutic management is well codified for functioning PIs and symptomatic NFPIs, a debate still remain for asymptomatic NFPIs between s...

Thyroid hormones (TH) reduce liver steatosis. As steatosis is the initial step of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), we hypothesized that TH treatment could ameliorate ALD. Wildtype (WT) mice were treated with either ethanol (EtOH) or liquid control diet for 10 days followed by a single EtOH or maltose binge on day 11. In both groups, diet was supplemented with either T3 or solvent. Serum triglycerides (TG) were increased by EtOH and, surprisingly, further elevated by T3. Liver we...
