  1. 16. Posttransplantational bone disease : the effect of immunosuppressive drugs on bone : clinical and experimental studies

    Författare :Mohamed Mohamed Abdelhadi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Liver transplantation; hyperparathyroidism; bone density; renal transplantation; cyclosporine; prednisolone; tacrolimus; statin; growth plate; rats;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis and pathologic fractures are frequent complications ill patients with end-stage liver or kidney diseases. Although successful transplantation eliminates some factors related to poor organ function, all increased incidence of pathologic fractures was reported ill the early post-transplant period in spite of normalization of the allograft function.

  3. 17. Menstrual status and long-term cardiovascular effects of intense exercise in top elite athlete women

    Författare :Magnus Hagmar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Elite athletes; female athlete triad; BMI; energy deficiency; amenorrhea; polycystic ovary syndrome; body composition; bone mineral density; postmenopausal women; endothelial function; athlete s heart; echocardiography; exercise test.;

    Sammanfattning : Although physical exercise is generally beneficial for health, female athletes run an elevated risk of developing chronic energy deficiency, with ensuing severe consequences such as reproductive dysfunction, bone demineralization, more frequent injuries, impaired performance, and adverse cardiovascular effects. However, at present little is known about these issues with respect to sportswomen competing at the Olympic level, or about the long-term cardiovascular consequences of intense training for women.

  4. 18. The effects of some peptide hormones on osteoblast-like cells : with specific focus on oxytocin and vasopressin

    Författare :Alena Lagumdzija; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :h0B; SaOS-2; OXT; AVP; IGF-I; PTH; PTHrP; eNOSKO;

    Sammanfattning : The nonapeptides oxytocin (OXT) and vasopressin (AVP) are mainly produced in the hypothalamus and released into the circulation through the neurohypophysis. Recently, an OXT-receptor was demonstrated in human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells, and it has been suggested that patients with central diabetes insipidus (deficiency of AVP) have decreased bone mass.

  5. 19. Thyroid hormone receptors and the regulation of bone physiology

    Författare :Jenny Kindblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the studies in this thesis was to investigate the role of thyroid hormone receptors in bone physiology. Thyroid hormone signals through its receptors, the TRs, and has profound effects on bone development and metabolism, as demonstrated in hypo- and hyperthyroidism. LÄS MER
