  1. 1. Vitamin D and Breast Cancer. Studies on Incidence and Survival

    Författare :Linnea Huss; Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; risk; prognosis; vitamin D; PTH; calcium; SNP; VDR.;

    Sammanfattning : Previous research has suggested beneficial effects of vitamin D on both breast cancer risk and prognosis. The overall aim of this research project was to investigate associations between vitamin D and breast cancer. The population-based prospective cohort, the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, recruited 17,034 women in the first half of the 1990s. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Growth of parathyroid glands : genetic and functional aspects

    Författare :Stiina Välimäki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Ca2+ is an essential ion with a variety of important functions in the body and it is crucial that the Ca2+ levels are precisely regulated. One of the hormones regulating these processes is parathyroid hormone (PTH) secreted from the parathyroid glands. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Violaxanthin de-epoxidase and its closest relative: identification and characterization

    Författare :Kuo Guo; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photosynthesis; Carotenoid conversions; violaxanthin de-epoxidase VDE ; Violaxanthin de-epoxidase related protein;

    Sammanfattning : Light is essential for plants and algae to process photosynthesis. However, excess of light will cause damage to the organism. A process called non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is an important way for these organisms to protect themselves from photo oxidative damage. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Genetic Variability in Human Bone Phenotypes : The Vitamin D Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor-α Cofactor RIZ Gene

    Författare :Elin Grundberg; Andreas Kindmark; Östen Ljunggren; Helena Brändström; André G. Uitterlinden; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; Bone mineral density; candidate gene approach; polymorphism; the vitamin D receptor; the estrogen receptor α; RIZ1; cofactor; allelic imbalance; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Important candidate genes to human bone phenotypes are those involved in the regulation of hormonal action, such as the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the estrogen receptor-α (ERα) genes and their cofactors. RIZ1 is a specific ERα cofactor proved to strongly enhance the function of the ERα. LÄS MER
