  1. 1. Roles of Androgens in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology

    Författare :Elin Svedlund Eriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; androgens; androgen receptor; atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; immune system; SARMs; male mice;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is the major underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, and these conditions are the leading causes of death both in Sweden and globally. The immune system is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as well as post-MI cardiac injury. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Studies of hyperandrogenicity and the metabolic syndrome in premenopausal women

    Författare :Fariba Baghaei; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :androgens; SHBG; HPA axis; abdominal obesity; insulin; HDL; metabolic syndrome; ovarian volume; PCOS; polymorphism; genetics; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; aromatase;

    Sammanfattning : An androgenic sex hormone profile appears to be a typical feature of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and a powerful risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes in women. The causes of relative hyperandrogenicity (HA) are not clearly defined. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Androgens and progesterone in tissues and the gastrointestinal tract - Mapping of tissue-specific sex steroid levels in mice

    Författare :Hannah Colldén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; androgens; progesterone; intracrinology; gastrointestinal tract; gut microbiota;

    Sammanfattning : Sex steroids such as androgens can exert both positive and negative effects in tissues and are important in physiology and pathophysiological states of men and women. Androgens originate mainly from the gonads. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immunological, vascular and metabolic actions of androgens

    Författare :Marta Lantero Rodriguez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; androgens; androgen receptor; immune system; atherosclerosis; abdominal aortic aneurysm; brown fat; mice;

    Sammanfattning : Men have higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but lower risk of autoimmune disorders than women. The actions of sex steroids may be involved in the sexual dimorphism of these diseases. Although testosterone, the main androgen, seems to protect against autoimmunity, its role in CVD is contradictory and disease-dependent. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Influences of Endogenous and Exogenous Hormones in Middle-aged Women

    Författare :Ali Khatibi Esfanjani; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipid profile; Blood pressure; Non-hormonal drug; Middle-aged women; Cardiovascular disease; Menopause; Androstendione; Androgen; Testosterone;

    Sammanfattning : Endogenous and exogenous sex hormones are of pivotal importance for women’s health. Hormone therapy has been widely studied but there is limited data about androgen and androgen replacement therapy. LÄS MER
