It is suggested that primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) is an under-diagnosed cause of systemic hypertension in cats. No immunohistochemical markers of aldosterone synthesizing tissues have been identified, meaning that endocrine function cannot be inf...

The prevalence of growth hormone secreting pituitary tumours in domestic cats (Felis catus) is ten times greater than in humans. The predominant inhibitory receptors of growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumours are somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and...
