Investigation of the pronounced erythropoietin-induced reduction in hyperglycemia in type 1-like diabetic rats.

abstract：:A previous study reported a high prevalence of autoantibodies to alpha-enolase in lymphocytic hypophysitis and these antibodies efficiently distinguished lymphocytic hypophysitis from pituitary tumors. To confirm this, we examined autoantibodies to alpha-enolase in patients with lymphocytic hypophysitis (n = 17), pitu...
