Mast cells are known to control mineralocorticoid synthesis and secretion in human normal adrenal gland and aldosterone-producing adenomas through release of serotonin. We recently detected these immune cells in human fetal adrenal from 18 weeks of gestation in the subcapsular layer, in correlation with the expression of steroidogenic enzymes required for aldosterone biosynthesis. This observation suggests the implication of mast cells in the mineralocorticoid synthesizing pat...

Background: In 2017 the American Academy of Pediatrics has introduced a new guideline (AAP 2017) to diagnose arterial hypertension in children, as the blood pressure thresholds for adults had been lowered before. There is a controversy about these new reference levels as other societies have not followed these recommendations. We studied the impact of the new AAP 2017 guideline on prevalence of arterial hypertension (HTN) in children with Type 1 diabetes melli...

Objective: Somatrogon, a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is approved as a once-weekly treatment for pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD). This abstract describes the long-term efficacy and safety of somatrogon in patients with pGHD following up to 5 years of treatment in a global, Phase 3 study (NCT02968004).Methods: In the main study period, patients were randomized to receive either once-weekl...
