Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) Expression in Somatotroph Adenomas: Implications for Clinical Course and Treatment Outcomes
CGRP was found to be notably present in somatotropin-producing adenoma tissues, yet it was entirely absent from non-functioning adenoma tissues. The detection of CGRP within adenoma tissue could correlate with an increased incidence of persistent headaches and diminished postoperative remission probabilities in acromegaly.
