    Sammanfattning : Power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) is a sensitive technique to detect slow blood movement. The aim of the present study was to develop a standardized method for quantification of the PDU signals recorded from a specific region of interest (ROI) within fetal organs. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Developmental and stress induced changes in peptide and catecholamine content of the paraaortic paraganglia

    Nyckelord :paraganglia; adrenal gland; enkephalin; galanin; NPY; catecholamines; development; asphyxia; hypoglycemia; reserpine;

    Sammanfattning : The paraaortic body (PAB) is the largest extra-adrenal paraganglion and during the perinatal period it contains a substantial amount of catecholamines (CAs). The PAB also contain peptides, whose function in the PAB is not clear. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Diverse effects of endocrine-disruptive chemicals on Leydig and adrenocortical cell steroidogenesis in rodents and humans

    Författare :Iuliia Savchuk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : We are living in a man-made world and often exposed to different chemicals known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that negatively influence our hormonal system. These compounds have the potential to interrupt a normal steroidogenesis and result in harmful effects on the reproductive health of humans and among other organisms. LÄS MER
