    Sammanfattning : The development of a first myocardial infarction is associated with a large number of contributing factors. Age, male sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, body mass index and hypercholesterolemia are considered as established risk factors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Rheumatoid arthritis in male patients : sex hormones, bone mineral density and clinical characteristics

    Författare :Birgitta Tengstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Rheumatoid arthritis; men; gender; testosterone; DHEAS; estrone; estradiol; LH; bone mineral density; outcome.;

    Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to investigate sex hormones in men with RA and the relation of these hormones with disease characteristics including bone mineral density, as well as to study gender differences in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Estrogens and androgens and the balance between these hormones interact with the cytokine network and modulate immunity. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Sex steroid secretion during childhood in males - with focus on prematurity, birth size, and growth patterns

    Författare :Kjersti Kvernebo-Sunnergren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; androgens; birth weight; body height; body weight; child; estrogens; male; mass spectrometry; premature birth; Silver-Russell syndrome;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: The overall aim of the thesis was to evaluate sex steroid secretion patterns during childhood in boys and to study how sex steroid concentrations relate to gestational age, birth weight, growth patterns, and adult height outcome. Patients and Methods: In paper I, 11 growth hormone-treated boys with Silver–Russell syndrome (SRS) who had reached adult height were included. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Hormonal programming and adrenal function. Studies in children and in a rat model

    Författare :Jovanna Dahlgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Children; cortisol; dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate; small for gestational age; short stature; cytokines; dexamethasone; insulin sensitivity; androgenization;

    Sammanfattning : Prenatal events during specific time windows have been found to be followed by permanent changes affecting neuroendocrine, so called programming. Undernutrition, placental dysfunction or maternal stress, are apparent examples of such stimuli. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Sex steroids and gene variants in bipolar disorder

    Författare :Anette G M Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Bipolar disorder is a chronic, cycling disorder affecting circa 2% of the population and whose pathophysiology is still largely unknown. It has been suggested that common treatments used for bipolar disorder have effects on the sex steroids yet sex steroids have also been shown to have widespread effects in the brain in systems of relevance to bipolar disorder.
