Co-expression of ghrelin and its receptor in pancreatic endocrine tumours.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The LMNA 1908C/T polymorphism has been reported to be associated with dyslipidaemia, metabolic syndrome, adipose tissue metabolism and obesity phenotypes, suggesting that this polymorphism presents an increased risk of atherosclerosis and vascular diseases. However, there have been no previous reports on the ...
