  1. 21. Ah receptor mediated toxicity : studies in vitro and in a transgenic mouse model

    Författare :Sara Brunnberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Dioxin Ah Receptor; Arnt; TCDD; gene expression; reproductive tract; bone; heart;

    Sammanfattning : The polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans and biphenyls are ubiquitously present in the environment. Humans are exposed mainly through diet to continuous low levels which on average are in close proximity to those considered tolerable. The foetus and newborn infant are considered as a particular risk group. LÄS MER

  3. 22. A molecular characterization of selected cecropins and cysteine proteinases in Drosophila

    Författare :Ylva Tryselius; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Insects that have been infected with bacteria produce antibacterial peptides. Among the most potent antibacterial peptides in Drosophila are the cecropins. This work describes the cloning and expression studies of the CecC gene, which completes the picture of the cecropin locus in Drosophila melanogaster. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Immune cell composition and cytokine expression in the pregnant and non-pregnant uterus

    Författare :Ylva Crona Guterstam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The success of implantation and further development of the embryo is heavily dependent on the endometrial immune cell composition and its ability to communicate with fetal semi-allogeneic trophoblast cells. Although our understanding of the immune cell population in the uterus has improved, its precise role in normal reproduction and reproductive disorders is still not fully resolved. LÄS MER

  5. 24. The role of oestrogens and antibiotics on the development of cancer

    Författare :Johanna Simin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Despite advances in cancer treatment and surgery, cancer-related mortality remains the leading cause of death globally, harvesting over ten million lives annually. While the risk factors are both hormonal and non-hormonal, common prescription drugs’ long-term effects are understudied and likely even underestimated. LÄS MER

  7. 25. GM-CSF. A regulator of pre-implantation embryo development

    Författare :Cecilia Sjöblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :GM-CSF blastocyst embryo culture cytokine growth factor GM-CSF receptor glucose transport apoptosis;

    Sammanfattning : GM-CSF is a multifunctional cytokine expressed in abundance in the female reproductive tract during early pregnancy. We have investigated the regulatory influence of GM-CSF in development of pre-implantation mouse and human embryos. LÄS MER
