Background: Urinary metanephrine (MN) and normetanephrine (NMN) are used to detect recurrence of pheochromocytoma during post-operative period. Currently, reference ranges of urinary MN and NMN obtained from healthy individuals are applied to subjects with adrenalectomy.

Background: Three deiodinase genes (DIO) play an important role in thyroid hormone metabolism. Among them, type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (DIO2) converts T4 to T3 in brain and impaired psychological well-being was reported in minor variants of DIO2. However, the prevalence of three DIOs and their relation to neuropsychological status has not been evaluated in Asian hypothyroid subjects.Methods: We prospectively enrolled 196 subjects who were taking levo...
