An oncocytic transformation has been demonstrated in renal tubules of NMO-treated rats. In our study, we aimed to investigate the potential transformation of oncocytic cells in 6 endocrine organs, i.e., thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands, pancreas, testis, and bone, of NMO-exposed rats.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty male rats were born and raised. Fifteen of them were given a single dose of 320\u00a0mg NMO per kg body weight, dissolved in drinking water, by a gavage tube. At the end of 52\u00a0weeks, the animals in both series were killed. Right after the killing, 6 different endocrine organs (hypophysis, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal gland, bone [femur], and testicles) of each animal were excised.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was no evidence of oncocytic cell development in the control group. In contrast, oncocytes were observed in 8 out of 13 NMO-treated rats: 2 in the adrenal sections, 1 in the thyroid sections, 3 in the pituitary sections, and 2 in the pancreas sections. Thesticle and bone sections were completely normal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We showed that NMO induced an oncocytic change in pancreas, thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands. To date, no identified specific environmental risk factors that lead to an oncocytic transformation in endocrine glands have been reported previously. Given the increasing prevalence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the environment, personal care products, manufactured goods, and food sources, there is a need to advance our understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying oncocytosis in endocrine organs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40001-024-01654-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,20]],"date-time":"2024-01-20T00:02:17Z","timestamp":1705708937000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["N-Nitrosomorpholine-induced oncocytic transformation in rat endocrine organs"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5340-6106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emre","family":"Gezer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7029-6519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00fcneyt","family":"\u00d6zer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5733-6301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Turgay","family":"\u015eim\u015fek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0537-3127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B\u00fc\u015fra","family":"Yaprak Bayrak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4207-2833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gupse","family":"Turan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8041-8161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Berrin","family":"\u00c7etinarslan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0646-8697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alev","family":"Selek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7114-2565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeynep","family":"Cant\u00fcrk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8428-1115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet","family":"S\u00f6zen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6349-2976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damla","family":"K\u00f6ksalan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"1654_CR1","first-page":"163","volume":"15","author":"B Zhao","year":"2019","unstructured":"Zhao B, Nakada N, Okumura K, Zhou J, Tanaka H.
