    Sammanfattning : Growth hormone (GH) affect bone-tissue in both humans and rodents. Also sex steroids are important for growth and the maintenance of normal bone physiology. The specific aims of this study were to investigate how high levels of GH affects bone tissue in mice and to determine whether these effects are dependent on an intact gonadal function. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most prevalent malignancy among men in Sweden. One major problem associated with CaP is the choice of treatment since the disease may develop very differently from patient to patient. Many efforts have focused on the development of markers for prognosis and monitoring treatment affecting the endocrine system of CaP. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Although in decline in the developed world CHD is still the number one killer. The decline is thought to be due to better risk prevention and treatment. C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an marker of CHD. It is associated with several of the major risk factors of CHD. LÄS MER
