21. Prolactin and growth hormone in breast cancer. Studies of human breast cancer and transgenic tumor models
Sammanfattning : Prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) are two related pituitary peptide hormones of importance during normal mammary gland development. Furthermore, their involvement in development and growth of malignant mammary tumors has been suggested by several investigators. LÄS MER
22. Dopamine D2 and D3 receptors: studies on transduction mechanisms and the role of a D3 gene polymorphism
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
23. Transport of sodium and protons in the human placenta. Mechanisms in normal pregnancy and alterations in intrauterine growth restriction
Sammanfattning : The syncytiotrophoblast cell of the human placenta represents the interface between maternal and fetal blood supplies. This polarized epithelium consists of a maternal facing microvillous membrane (MVM) opposing a fetal facing basal membrane (BM). This unique syncytial cell is responsible for transfer of all nutrients to the developing fetus. LÄS MER
24. Role of prolactin in the prostate gland. Studies in transgenic mouse models
Sammanfattning : The aim of the studies in this thesis was to investigate the role of prolactin (PRL) in normal and pathophysiological conditions of the prostate gland using three different genetically modified mouse models. Benign and malignant disorders of the prostate are highly prevalent in aging men. LÄS MER
25. Schizophrenia and Nitric Oxide: Deficits in Information Processing Invetigated in Animal Models
Sammanfattning : Rationale: Schizophrenia-like symptoms can be induced in humans by phencyclidine (PCP), a non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Schizophrenic patients and PCP-treated animals display deficits in pre-attentive information processing, as assessed by e.g. prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response. LÄS MER
