1. Neurosteroids Induce Allosteric Effects on the NMDA Receptor : Nanomolar Concentrations of Neurosteroids Exert Non-Genomic Effects on the NMDA Receptor Complex
Sammanfattning : The neurosteroids constitute a group of powerful hormones synthesized and acting in the central nervous system. They participate in a number of important central processes, such as memory and learning, mood and neuroprotection. LÄS MER
2. Genomic and non-genomic effects of a new sodium-sensing network in renal and lung epithelia
Sammanfattning : Sodium and water homeostasis is crucial for cell function, survival and health of the individual. The kidney is responsible for sodium regulation in the body, balancing sodium secretion and reabsorption, and thereby also regulating the blood pressure, primarily via the Na+, K -ATPase. LÄS MER
3. The role of progesterone in the regulation of ciliary activity in the fallopian tube
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the distribution and regulation of membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) that may be involved in regulating ciliary activity in the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube serves to transport the egg and spermatozoa to achieve fertilization. LÄS MER
4. G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER) in the female reproductive tract: from physiology to cancer
Sammanfattning : Estrogen effects are mediated either through genomic action involving the classical estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and beta (ERß), which function as transcription factors in the nucleus, or through rapid non-genomic action via receptors associated with plasma membrane. Recently, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family was ascribed estrogen receptor properties and proposed as a candidate for mediating non-genomic estrogen signaling. LÄS MER
5. Molecular mechanisms of alternative estrogen receptor signaling
Sammanfattning : Estrogen is a key regulator of growth, differentiation and function in a broad range of target tissues, including the male and female reproductive tracts, mammary gland, bone, brain and the cardiovascular system. The biological effects of estrogen are mediated through estrogen receptor a (ERalpha) and estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta), which belong to a large superfamily of nuclear receptors that act as ligand-activated transcription factors.
