AdipoR1 expression was significantly higher in cortical cancers (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and pheochromocytomas (<i>p</i> < 0.001) as compared to benign cortical tumors.
Our results indicate that serum total and HMW Adp, and AdpR1 gene expressions in pheochromocytoma tissue, are associated with the level of catecholamine produced in the tumor.
