Estradiol Stimulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Interleukin-6 in Human Lactotroph and Lactosomatotroph Pituitary Adenomas
Estrogens are considered to be critically involved in lactotroph and lactosomatotroph pituitary tumor development. In addition to direct effects, estradiol-induced tumor formation may involve alterations in growth factor and cytokine production. We have studied whether estradiol stimulates the produ...

Estrogens are considered to be critically involved in lactotroph and lactosomatotroph pituitary tumor development.
