  1. 36. Plant foods, plasma enterolactone and breast cancer - with a focus on estrogen receptor status and genetic variation

    Författare :Emily Sonestedt; Diabetes - kardiovaskulär sjukdom; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; plant foods; breast cancer; fibre; epidemiology; lignans; enterolactone; plasma; estrogen receptor α; estrogen receptor β; polymorphisms; reliability; nutrition; prospective;

    Sammanfattning : Diets high in fibre have previously been associated with decreased risk of breast cancer in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Several potent compounds may exist in high-fibre diets that might protect against breast cancer, for example lignans. LÄS MER

  3. 37. The role of the androgen receptor and hydroxysteroid 17β dehydrogenase in breast cancer : Impact on tamoxifen treatment

    Författare :Erik Hilborn; Agneta Jansson; Olle Stål; Yvonne Ceder; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The healthy breast is a tissue composed of centrally located milk producing glands connected to the nipple by ducts, surrounded by fat tissue and connective tissue. The growth of the breast is primarily mediated by the estrogens, while the androgens mediate tissue homeostasis and protect against growth signals. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Estrogen and its receptors in adipose tissue from women and men : Associations with age, adiposity and type 2 diabetes

    Författare :Fozia Ahmed; Jan Eriksson; Maria J. Pereira; Susanne Hetty; Karin Stenkula; Uppsala University; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; estrogen; estrogen receptors; menopause; obesity; insulin resistance; type 2 diabetes.;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity and its complications, such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Adipose tissue is important for whole-body homeostasis, functioning as an energy storage reservoir and an endocrine organ. LÄS MER

  5. 39. Functions of estrogen receptor b in the metabolism of rodent bone

    Författare :Sara Windahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens are important for widespread biological functions including regulation of development and maintenance of skeletal tissue. The effects of estrogens are thought to be mediated via two intracellular proteins, estrogen receptors a and beta (ERalpha and ERbeta , respectively), which are expressed in most cell types in bone.

  7. 40. Gender-related small artery function : implications for estrogenic compounds

    Författare :Maria-Natalia Cruz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Vascular effects of estrogens have been shown to be mediated by estrogen receptor (ER)α. The discovery of ERβ, which shares many similarities with ERα, brought about a reevaluation of the role of the ER subtypes (ERs) in the vasculature. LÄS MER
