1. 21. Alcohol Consumption: A Study of Genetic and Environmental Correlates with Focus on the Stress System

   Författare :Aniruddha Todkar; Erika Comasco; Anja Huizink; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Alcohol; ELS; maternal separation; gene-environment; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Early life stress (ELS) is associated with risk of excessive alcohol drinking. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying the susceptibility to excessive alcohol drinking are not well understood. DNA methylation may mediate the influence of ELS on gene function and thereby contribute to alcohol misuse. LÄS MER

3. 22. Growth Hormone and Melanin-Concentrating Hormone receptor in the regulation of energy balance and metabolism

   Författare :Mikael Bjursell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Energy homeostasis ? the balance of energy intake, expenditure, and storage ? is controlled by autonomic regulation originating in the hypothalamus and the brain stem, which receive input from the periphery. Upon receiving signals from the periphery, centres in the central nervous system (CNS) react through endocrine or neuronal responses to maintain a steady balance. LÄS MER

4. 23. Intracellular Degradation of Insulin in Pancreatic Islets

   Författare :Monica Sandberg; L.A.Håkan Borg; Stellan Sandler; Arne Andersson; Albert Salehi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : There is a substantial intracellular degradation of insulin in pancreatic islets. This may be a physiological process, which, in correspondence with biosynthesis and secretion of insulin, would optimize the secretory granule content of the pancreatic β-cell. LÄS MER

5. 24. Domestication Effects on the Stress Response in Chickens : Genetics, Physiology, and Behaviour

   Författare :Amir Fallahshahroudi; Per Jensen; Frank Albert; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Animal domestication; stress response; gene expression; QTL; eQTL;

   Sammanfattning : Animal domestication, the process where animals become adapted to living in proximity to humans, is associated with the alteration of multiple traits, including decreased fearfulness and stress response. With an estimated population of 50 billion, the domesticated chicken is the most populous avian species in the world. LÄS MER

7. 25. Effects of endocrine disruptors on adreno-cortical and Leydig cell steroidogenesis

   Författare :Vichit Supornsilchai; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Endocrine disrupting chemicals EDCs ; steroidogenesis; Leydig cells; adrenocortical cells; steroidogenic acute regulatory protein StAR ; steroidogenic enzymes;

   Sammanfattning : A common sequential pathway for steroidogenesis, designed to produce steroid hormones, is expressed in the adrenal cortex, testes and ovaries. In this process, cholesterol is converted to all known steroids by specific enzymes in a tissue-specific manner. LÄS MER
