| endocrine cells of gut | Cells found throughout the lining of the gastrointestinal tract that contain regulatory peptide hormones and/or biogenic amines. The substances are located in secretory granules and act in an endocrine or paracrine manner. Some of these substances are also found in neurons in the gut. There are at least 15 different types of endocrine cells of the gut. Some take up amine precursors and have been called apud cells. However, most endocrine cells of the gut apparently have endodermal rather than neuroectodermal origin, so the relationship with apud cells is not clear. (12 Dec 1998) |

| gut-associated lymphoid tissue | <physiology> Peripheral lymphoid organ consisting of lymphoid tissue associated with the gut (Peyer's patches, tonsils, mesenteric lymph nodes and the appendix). It is especially rich in B-cells and is responsible for localised immunity to pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. (20 Sep 2002) |

| multiple endocrine adenomatosis | The presence of functioning tumours in more than one endocrine gland, commonly the pancreatic islets and parathyroid glands, which may be associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome; dominant inheritance. Synonym: multiple endocrine adenomatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple endocrine deficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Acquired deficiency of the function of several endocrine glands, usually on an auto-immune basis. Synonym: multiple glandular deficiency syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple endocrine neoplasia | (type I) This is a hereditary disorder in which two or more of the following glands: parathyroid, pancreas, pituitary, adrenals or thyroid develop hyperplasia or a tumour. (type II) This is a hereditary disorder in which two or more of the following glands: thyroid, adrenal or parathyroid, develop overgrowth (hyperplasia) or malignant cells (cancer). The underlying cause is genetic and a positive family history for this illness is a risk factor. Incidence: approximately 3 in 100,000 people in the general population. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 | <radiology> Multiple endrocrine neoplasia syndrome three P's. Pituitary adenoma, 65% can develop Cushing's, acromegaly, prolactinoma, parathyroid hyperplasia / adenoma, 88% can develop hyper-PTH pancreatic isleT-cell tumour, gastrinoma (Z-E) most common, 50% of Z-E can develop MEN-1, inconstant features: bronchial/intestinal carcinoid, thyroid adenoma, adrenal cortical tumour, lipoma, thymoma tissue expression Primary hyperparathyroidism (90%), Gastrinoma (30%), Prolactinoma (15%), Other (10%). Synonym: Wermer syndrome (12 Dec 1998) |

| multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 | A rare syndrome characterised by hyperplasia and/or neoplasms of the pituitary, parathyroid glands, and pancreatic islets. Hyperparathyroidism occurs in 90% of the cases and is usually the first manifestation of the syndrome. The most frequent pancreatic manifestation is gastrinoma typically leading to zollinger-ellison syndrome. The appearance of this condition has been limited to the loss of allelic heterozygosity at the 11q13 locus on the long arm of chromosome 11. Patients overall exhibit long survival times. Chemotherapy is rare and surgical management is generally dependent on the genetic expression in individual patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
