Abstract
Granins are glycoproteins presented in granules of neuroendocrine cells, they regulate secretory pathway that is responsible for controlled delivery of peptides, hormones and neurotransmitters, and growth factors, organization of the granular matrix, and the mechanisms of administration after hormone secretion The highest accuracy has been observed in neuroendocrine tumors characterized by an intense secretory activity, but its specificity and sensitivity remain very high also in nonfunctioning tumors. The granins application as the markers of nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas would allow the early disease detection, assessment the secretory capacity of tumor, and differential diagnosis with autoimmune forms of pituitary lesions. Furthermore, granins can be used as markers of related metabolic disorders, especially of cardiovascular diseases.
期刊介绍：
Journal "Obesity and Metabolism" is a multidisciplinary forum for clinical and applied research in the field of biochemistry, physiology, pathophysiology, genetics, nutrition, as well as molecular, metabolic, psychological and epidemiological aspects of obesity and metabolism. The main subject "Metabolism" reviewed in the journal, includes fat, carbohydrate, protein, bone, fluid and electrolyte and other types of metabolism in the spectrum of pathology of the endocrine system. The priority direction of Journal "Obesity and Metabolism" is publishing modern high-quality original research on the effectiveness of new and existing treatments in any aspect of metabolic and endocrine diseases. Pre-clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics studies, meta-analyzes, addressed to drug safety and tolerance are also welcome for publication in the journal "Obesity and metabolism." Journal "Obesity and Metabolism" announces review articles that are balanced, clear and offer the reader a modern and critical analysis of the literature on the subject of the magazine. Case reports, and lecture materials are also published for highlighting for practitioners new approaches to diagnosis and treatment of patients with metabolic disorders and obesity.
