It should be also mentioned that the single highest values of MBL levels found in our patients with non-compensated hypopituitarism did relate to an individual with three pituitary deficiencies (5891.87 ng/mL) and to another individual with four pituitary deficiencies (4135.07 ng/mL), which is not easy to explain. Here, MBL2 is linked to pituitary deficiency.
