1. 6. Genomic and Peptidomic Characterization of the Developing Avian Brain

   Författare :Birger Scholz; Lennart Dencker; Eric Vilain; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Toxicology; Sex differentation; Sex determination; Sex chromosomes; Dosage Compensation; Genetic; Chickens; Coturnix; Gene Expression Profiling; Neuropeptides; Diencephalon; Toxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Chicken and Japanese quail are commonly used models in developmental and sex specific neuroendocrine research. There is relatively little known about the mechanisms behind their sex specific brain development, especially regarding the impact of the sex chromosomes (male: ZZ, female ZW) in relation to gonadal hormones.

3. 7. Endogenous sex hormones and cardiometabolic risk factors – population-based studies within the Skaraborg Project

   Författare :Kristin Ottarsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sex hormones; sex hormone binding globulin; cardiometabolic risk factors; insulin resistance; post-menopause; cardiovascular diseases;

   Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular diseases are the major contributors to mortality in Sweden and globally. Men have a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases compared to women, until women reach the menopause. Levels of sex hormones might explain these sex differences beyond known differences in risk factors. LÄS MER

4. 8. Sex differences in behavior and metabolism

   Författare :Ivana Maric; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sex differences; eating; brown adipose tissue; motivation; anxiety-like behavior;

   Sammanfattning : Men and women exhibit distinct illness patterns and disparate responses to pharmacotherapies. However, there is a scarcity of preclinical studies that systematically compare the sexes. LÄS MER

5. 9. Bone Metabolism in Men

   Författare :Peter Gillberg; Olof Johnell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Male osteoporosis; Bone mineral density; Growth hormone; Insulin-like growth factors; Sex hormones; Growth hormone replacement; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the importance of the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system and sex steroids for male bone metabolism has been investigated, and the effects of continuous low dose GH replacement in GH deficient (GHD) adults. In a population-based sample of men, positive correlations were found between bone mineral density (BMD) and IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 and the testosterone/sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) ratio.

7. 10. Polymorphism in sex steroid-related genes. Effects on hormone levels and behavior

   Författare :Lars Westberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sex steroids; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; progesterone receptor; polymorphism; genetics; association study; prolactin; personality; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; Parkinson s disease;

   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
