    Sammanfattning : Lipids havepreviously been considered primarily as building blocks of the cell membrane, but are now also recognized as important cell signaling molecules. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a glycerophospholipid consisting of a phosphate head group, a linker region, and a lipophilic tail. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors in the female genital tract.They represent a major cause of gynaecologic morbidity. The etiology of these tumors is largely unknown but the levels of estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) are considered to be the major determinants for fibroid growth. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Molecular mechanisms involved in the growth of human uterine leiomyomas

    Författare :Xuxia Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Human uterine leiomyomas; myometrium; the menstrual cycle; estrogen; progesterone; cellular proliferation; apoptosis; oncogene; growth factor; growth factor receptor.;

    Sammanfattning : Human uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are benign neoplasms arising from uterine smooth muscle cells, and are suggested to be sex steroid dependent. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which sex steroids, mainly estrogen and progesterone, influence the growth of Ieiomyomas. LÄS MER
