  1. 11. Long-term effects of growth hormone replacement therapy in growth hormone deficient adults

    Författare :Galina Götherström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :growth hormone; body composition; bone mass; bone density; muscle strength; lipids; glucose metabolism; adult onset GHD; childhood onset GHD; gender;

    Sammanfattning : Deficiency of growth hormone (GHD) in adults results in abnormal body composition, reduced bone mass and muscle strength, deteriorated cardiovascular risk factors. Short-term GH replacement reverses many of the symptoms associated with adult GHD. LÄS MER

  3. 12. 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. 13. Growth Hormone and Gender. Studies in Healthy Adults and in Patients with Growth Hormone Disorders

    Författare :Britt Edén Engström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Growth hormone; gender; ambulation; oral contraceptives; epinephrine; GH treatment; age; E2-implant; IGF-I; octreotide; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : The use of a new, more sensitive immunoassay for growth hormone (GH) revealed that the serum levels in men were lower than expected in sera drawn ambulatory in the morning after an overnight fast and that the gender difference was more than 10 times greater than reported. These observations led to a more thorough study on the impact of gender and sex steroids on the levels of GH and other hormones in ambulatory morning samples and over a 24-hour period. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Steroids and steroid-metabolizing enzymes in the nervous system : Special focus on cell survival and sex hormone synthesis

    Författare :Ida Emanuelsson; Maria Norlin; Kjell Wikvall; Lena Ekström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Some steroids in the brain and peripheral nervous system have been shown to have neuroprotective effects but the knowledge is limited. The present study examines the effects of steroids including oxysterols, vitamin D and vitamin D analogs on cell viability/growth and steroidogenesis in the nervous system. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Female sex hormones and health outcomes in women with specific focus on asthma

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; Bayesian estimation; case-control; causal inference; estrogens; female sex hormones; hormonal contraceptives; menarche; menopausal hormone therapy; menopause; meta-analysis; multiple imputation; progestogens; research reproducibility; robust variance estimation; systematic review; umbrella review; women;

    Sammanfattning : In humans, gender differences exist across a wide spectrum of diseases. For instance, women are more likely to develop Sjogren’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and autoimmune thyroid disease compared to men. LÄS MER
