Breast Cancer Res Treat . 2005 Jun; 92(2):175-86. PMID: 15986128
Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) have been identified in most hormone-producing tumors as well as in breast cancer. In the present study, we determined SSTR1-5 expression in primary ductal NOS breast tumors...

Beis C, Grigorakis S, Philippou G, Alevizaki M, Anastasiou E
Acta Diabetol . 2005 May; 42(1):31-5. PMID: 15868111
The aim of the present study was to examine fasting (0') and postglucose glucagon levels in normal and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancy, as available data are somewhat conflicting. To...

Goodyer C, Grigorakis S, Patel Y, Kumar U
Neuroscience . 2004 Apr; 125(2):441-8. PMID: 15062986
The actions of somatostatin (SST) in the nervous system are mediated by specific high affinity SST receptors (SSTR1-5). However, the role of this hormone and the distribution of its receptor...

Eur J Endocrinol . 2001 Nov; 145(5):585-9. PMID: 11720876
Objective: We have previously reported that amylin/islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) mRNA is detected in a substantial subset of medullary carcinomas of the thyroid (MTCs). The aim of this study was...

Alevizaki M, Thalassinou L, Grigorakis S, Philippou G, Lili K, Souvatzoglou A, et al.
Diabetes Care . 2000 Aug; 23(8):1079-83. PMID: 10937501
Objective: This study assessed whether the Trp(64)Arg polymorphism of the beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR), which has been associated with obesity, insulin resistance, weight gain, and earlier onset of type 2 diabetes,...

Eur J Endocrinol . 2000 May; 142(5):533-6. PMID: 10802534
The proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene whose normal pituitary specific mRNA product is 1200 bases (b) is also expressed in placenta and its peptide derivatives such as ACTH and beta-endorphin may play...

Grigorakis S, Alevizaki M, Beis C, Anastasiou E, Alevizaki C, Souvatzoglou A
Gynecol Obstet Invest . 2000 Feb; 49(2):106-9. PMID: 10671817
Hormonal parameters during the last trimester of pregnancy contribute to a natural increase of insulin resistance. It is not known whether any of these are further involved in the manifestation...

Gen Diagn Pathol . 1997 Jun; 142(5-6):371-4. PMID: 9228264
We present the case of a patient in whom we diagnosed two different thyroid carcinomas (one on each lobe) of distinct histologic type: one derived from the follicular cells (papillary)...

Gynecol Obstet Invest . 1997 Jan; 44(1):6-10. PMID: 9251946
In order to define the islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) levels in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and their interrelationship with the insulin levels, we studied (1) the placental RNA from 10...

Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) . 1994 Jul; 41(1):21-6. PMID: 8050128
Objective: The amylin/islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) gene is the third member of the calcitonin (CT)/calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) gene family, which includes the alpha CT/CGRP (CALC-I) and beta CGRP...
