BACKGROUND Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is the central transcriptional regulator of hypoxic responses during the progression of pituitary adenomas. Although previous immunohistochemical studies revealed that HIF-1α is expressed in adreno-cortico-tropic-hormone (ACTH) pituitary adenomas, the role of HIF-1α remains unclear. METHODS AtT-20 cells were incubated under hypoxic conditions (1...

Introduction Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a unique MR imaging technique that allows for non-invasive measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF). Recently, ASL with multiple delay time sampling has become available on clinical MR imagers. Quantitative signal targeting by alternating radiofrequency pulses labeling of arterial regions (QUASAR) is one of such techniques, and allows for quantitativ...
