  1. 31. 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

  3. 32. A comparative study of estrogen receptors a and b in the female reproductive tract

    Författare :Hong Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens have a pronounced influence on the function of the female reproductive system. The regulation of biological processes by estrogens is mediated via specific intracellular receptors (ERs), ERalpha and ERbeta, which function as regulators of transcriptional activity. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Transcriptional regulation by the nuclear receptors steroidogenic factor-1 and liver receptor homologue-1

    Författare :Anna Ehrlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Steroidogenic Factor-1 (SF-1) and Liver Receptor Homologue-1 (LRH-1) are transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor (NR) family. In the adrenal cortex and gonads, SF-1 governs the expression of multiple enzymes and transporters required for converting cholesterol to steroid hormones. LÄS MER

  5. 34. On the influence of serotonin- and sex steroid-related genetic variation on mood, anxiety, personality, autism and transsexualism

    Författare :Susanne Henningsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :serotonin; 5-HTTLPR; TPH2; 5-HT3; sex steroids; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; genetics; gene-gene interaction; social phobia; anxiety; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; depression; personality; autism; transsexualism; amygdala; emotional perception; life events;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The neurotransmitter serotonin has been related to mood and anxiety, and variation in genes that encode important members of the serotonergic system may hence affect mood- and anxiety-related traits. Sex steroids influence brain development, and variation in genes encoding androgen and estrogen receptors, or enzymes needed for sex steroid synthesis, may be of importance for both personality traits and risk for psychiatric disorders.

  7. 35. Expression and regulation of vasoactive substances, sex steroids and their receptors in placenta during normal pregnancy and preeclampsia

    Författare :Josefine Nasiell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Despite intense studies preeclampsia remains enigmatic and a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is now widely accepted that the placenta has a central role in preeclampsia; delivery of the placenta is the only known cure. LÄS MER
