6. Gluco- and mineralocorticoid receptor regulation of regional brain neurotrophism
Sammanfattning : Gluco- and mineralocorticoid hormones exert powerful actions on brain function and are important in the mediation of the stress response and the survival of hippocampal neurons. The aim of this thesis was to study the influence of glucocorticoid (GR)/mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) actions on brain neurotrophism including analyses of immediate early genes (IEGs) and of feedback responses on GR and/or MR.

7. Effects of anabolic hormone treatment in elderly patients with hip fracture
Sammanfattning : The principal aims of these studies were to investigate the status of hip fracture patients regarding BMD, body composition and some nutritional factors at the time of the fracture and changes in these variables during the postoperative period. A further aim was to determine whether anabolic hormone treatment could had any beneficial effects after a hip fracture. LÄS MER
8. Effects of lignocaine in endometriosis : a clinical and cellular investigation
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND:Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown origin that can cause severe dysmenorrhea, chronic pain and impaired quality of life. Lignocaine has anti-inflammatory properties and pertubation with lignocaine could be beneficial in the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. LÄS MER
9. LXR regulation of hepatic gene expression and pituitary dependent hormones
Sammanfattning : The liver X receptors (LXRs) are ligand activated transcription factors involved in the regulation of metabolic genes. LXRs are considered potential drug targets to treat metabolic disorders, however, unwanted side effects, as revealed from rodent studies, include increased lipogenesis in the liver and increased plasma triglyceride levels.
