1. Glucocorticoid receptors in severe inflammation : Experimental and clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Septic shock is one of the most common causes of mortality in intensive care, in spite of antibiotic treatment. Glucocorticoid treatment can be used to blunt an overwhelming immune response in severe inflammation. LÄS MER
2. Studies of glucocorticoid receptor interacting proteins
Sammanfattning : The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) functions as a ligand dependent transcription factor. Nonliganded GR resides mainly in the cytoplasm bound to a complex containing heat shock proteins (hsp). LÄS MER
3. Estrogen and Glucocorticoid Metabolism
Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among women in Sweden. The risk of CVD increases rapidly after the menopause. A major contributing factor may be the redistribution of adipose tissue, from the peripheral to central depots, associated with menopause. LÄS MER
4. Interaction of Xenobiotics with the Glucocorticoid Hormone System in vitro
Sammanfattning : Persistent environmental pollutants were examined for their interaction with the glucocorticoid hormone system. The focus was placed on interference with the glucocorticoid synthesis and the glucocorticoid-signalling pathway in various in vitro test systems. LÄS MER
5. Glucocorticoid receptor function : interactions, mutants and ligand responses
Sammanfattning : The protein that is investigated in this thesis is the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand activated transcription factors. The nuclear receptors share three conserved structural domains, the N-terminal transactivating domain, the central DNA-binding domain and the C-terminal ligand-binding domain. LÄS MER
