11. Effects of growth hormone on bone tissue in transgenic mice
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
12. Immunopathogenesis of schistosomiasis mansoni : Immunity and pathology in a primary and a secondary infection following chemotherapy in the mouse and the baboo models
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes a series of experiments aimed at elucidating the mechanisms ofimmunity and pathology elicited by both a primary infection and a reinfection exposure toSchistosoma mansoni following chemotherapy. The effects of a single large cercarial doseand a cumulatively equivalent dose, administered as multiple small doses are compared. LÄS MER
13. Models and biomarkers of motor and neuropsychiatric complications in Parkinson’s disease
Sammanfattning : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by typicalmotor symptoms that are caused by severe dopamine depletion in the cortico-basalganglia network. Parkinsonian motor symptoms are improved by dopaminergicmedications, the most effective being the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. LÄS MER
14. Progesterone's effect on factors that influence gamete transport in the fallopian tube
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The fallopian tube plays an important role for successful female reproduction as it transport gametes to the fertilization site, nourish the developing embryo and transport it to the uterus at the suitable time for implantation. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of progesterone in control of gamete transport. LÄS MER
15. Polymorphism in sex steroid-related genes. Effects on hormone levels and behavior
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
