1. 21. Metabolic effects and long-term safety of childhood growth hormone treatment

   Författare :Anders Tidblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the metabolic effects and long-term safety of childhood growth hormone (GH) treatment. In order to achieve this aim, the different projects consist of a two-part clinical trial on metabolic features linked to GH physiology and GH treatment as well as two large population-based cohort studies with focus on the long-term cardiovascular and cancer risks in previously GH-treated patients.

   Nyckelord :antipsychotic agents; prolactin; growth hormone; insulin-like growth factor 1; insulin; leptin; lipids; side effects; weight gain; metabolic syndrome;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the studies summarized in this thesis was to investigate the influence of antipsychotic drugs on hormone levels, in order to identify causes of hormonally related side effects of these drugs. The effect of antipsychotics on the prolactin (PRL) secretion, the growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis and the glucose-insulin homeostasis was studied. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : The genetic background together with environmental factors and lifestyle are key contributors to the health of an individual. Genetic background is inherited and irreversible unless mutations occur. However, lifestyle habits (i.e. LÄS MER

7. 25. Aspects of Vitamin D : Prevalence of deficiency and impact on musculoskeletal parameters

   Författare :Anne Björk; Östen Ljunggren; Gunnar Johansson; Andreas Kindmark; Anna Spångeus; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vitamin D; CYP2R1; Vitamin D receptor Gene; Polymorphisms; Muscle Strength; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology;

   Sammanfattning : Vitamin D is central in calcium turnover, and adequate levels are important for skeletal health. It is not clear how large contributions from food and sunlight are in Swedish primary care patients, considering the low radiation of UVB in Sweden and fortification of some foods, and whether differences exist between patients of immigrant and Swedish origin.
