  1. 1. Stroke, Sex and Vascular Receptor Changes in the Brain

    Författare :Hilda Ahnstedt; Lund Medicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endothelin receptors; Cerebral ischemia; sex; estrogen; progesterone; sex differences; human cerebral arteries; endothelin-1; angiotensin II; middle cerebral artery occlusion; extra-cellular signal regulated kinase 1 and 2;

    Sammanfattning : Stroke is a severe cerebrovascular disease in which the neuronal tissue and vasculature of the brain undergo ischemia-evoked alterations. We have demonstrated an increased expression of cerebrovascular contractile receptors in the brain. This is hypothesized to mitigate cerebral blood flow and exacerbate tissue damage after stroke.

  3. 2. Sex steroid hormone receptors : inner ear and hearing

    Författare :Rusana Simonoska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : It is well known that hearing loss is more profound in elderly males than females, regardless of noise exposure. Also, an age-related hearing decline starts much earlier in males, already after the age of 30, while in women, the decline does not start until the age of 50. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Polymorphism in sex steroid-related genes. Effects on hormone levels and behavior

    Författare :Lars Westberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sex steroids; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; progesterone receptor; polymorphism; genetics; association study; prolactin; personality; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; Parkinson s disease;

    Sammanfattning : Genetic factors are important for variations between individuals with respect to most humantraits and diseases. Sex steroids are of profound importance for reproduction, metabolism,cardiovascular function and bone formation. They are potent regulators of their ownsynthesis as well as of that of other hormones, including prolactin. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Sex steroid effects on normal breast tissue

    Författare :Gunnar Söderqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Estrogen receptor; progesterone receptor; proliferation; breast epithelialcells; mammary epithelium; sulfatase; 17 HSD; regional differences; sex steroids;

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden, it is estimated that about one million women are treated with estrogen/progestogen for contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The possibility of an increased cancer risk in target organs has been vividly discussed for many years. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The relative importance of sex steroid receptors for bone metabolism

    Författare :Sofia Movérare-Skrtic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :bone; estrogen; androgen; transgenic; microarray;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogen deficiency increases the risk of a wide variety of pathological conditions including osteoporosis. Morbidity from osteoporosis is substantial in both men and women. LÄS MER
