  1. 16. Estrogen and its receptors in adipose tissue from women and men : Associations with age, adiposity and type 2 diabetes

    Författare :Fozia Ahmed; Jan Eriksson; Maria J. Pereira; Susanne Hetty; Karin Stenkula; Uppsala University; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; estrogen; estrogen receptors; menopause; obesity; insulin resistance; type 2 diabetes.;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity and its complications, such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Adipose tissue is important for whole-body homeostasis, functioning as an energy storage reservoir and an endocrine organ. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Muscles, Estrogen, and Bone

    Författare :Eva Ljunggren Ribom; Hans Mallmin; Karin Piehl-Aulin; Kim Thorsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Muscle strength; Bone mineral density; Ultrasound; Body composition; Hormone replacement therapy; Estrogen receptor alpha; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Sweden has one of the highest incidences of osteoporotic fractures in the world. A more sedentary lifestyle is one of several proposed reasons for the increase in osteoporosis seen in the developed countries. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Plant foods, plasma enterolactone and breast cancer - with a focus on estrogen receptor status and genetic variation

    Författare :Emily Sonestedt; Diabetes - kardiovaskulär sjukdom; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; plant foods; breast cancer; fibre; epidemiology; lignans; enterolactone; plasma; estrogen receptor α; estrogen receptor β; polymorphisms; reliability; nutrition; prospective;

    Sammanfattning : Diets high in fibre have previously been associated with decreased risk of breast cancer in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Several potent compounds may exist in high-fibre diets that might protect against breast cancer, for example lignans. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Genetic Variability in Human Bone Phenotypes : The Vitamin D Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor-α Cofactor RIZ Gene

    Författare :Elin Grundberg; Andreas Kindmark; Östen Ljunggren; Helena Brändström; André G. Uitterlinden; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; Bone mineral density; candidate gene approach; polymorphism; the vitamin D receptor; the estrogen receptor α; RIZ1; cofactor; allelic imbalance; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Important candidate genes to human bone phenotypes are those involved in the regulation of hormonal action, such as the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the estrogen receptor-α (ERα) genes and their cofactors. RIZ1 is a specific ERα cofactor proved to strongly enhance the function of the ERα. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Role of estrogen receptor beta in epithelia lacking estrogen receptor alpha expression

    Författare :Andrea Morani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Estrogen Receptors; Extracellular Matrix; Prostate Cancer; Lung Diseases; Ovarian Follicle;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens influence the physiology of many organs by activation of the nuclear receptors ERalpha and ERbeta. The epithelium of ventral prostate, ovarian granulosa cells and lung, are ERalpha-negative but express high levels of ERbeta. This thesis focuses on the role played by ERbeta in ERalpha-negative epithelium. LÄS MER
