1. 1. Immunomodulatory properties of steroid hormones

   Författare :Maria Taube; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DTH; oestradiol; corticosteroids; T cells; SCID mice; adoptive transfer; thymus; spleen.;

   Sammanfattning : Recent epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence have suggested that steroid hormones play an important role in immune responses and in immune-mediated diseases. Many autoimmune diseases are treated with corticosteroids. LÄS MER

3. 2. Testosterone and 17beta-oestradiol secretions in children and adolescents. Assay development, levels for comparison and clinical applications

   Författare :Carina Ankarberg-Lindgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :17beta-oestradiol; testosterone; sensitive assay; data for comparison; prepuberty; puberty; children; pubertal induction.;

   Sammanfattning : Accurate measurements of 17beta-oestradiol and testosterone are important in clinical settings of pubertal disorders and hormone replacement therapy among children. Most assays for measurement of these steroids are optimised for fertility investigations in adults and are not sensitive enough for quantification in children. LÄS MER

4. 3. Urogenital oestrogen deficiency in the postmenopause : with special reference to low-dose oestradiol therapy

   Författare :Kerstin Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER

5. 4. Short- and long-term cardiovascular and behavioural effects of oxytocin : mechanisms involved and influence of female steroid hormones

   Författare :Maria Petersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :oxytocin; nociceptive thresholds; naloxone; blood pressure; heart rate; spontaneous motor activity; oestrous cycle; ovariectomy; oestradiol; progesterone; weight gain; clonidine; locus coeruleus; alpha 2-adrenoreceptor; cholecystokinin; insulin; gastrin; corticosterone; ACTH; rat;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate short- and long-term cardiovascular and behavioural effects of oxytocin. In addition, the influence of female steroid hormones as well as possible mechanisms behind the oxytocin induced effects were investigated. LÄS MER

7. 5. Endometrial carcinoma : steroid hormones and receptors in relation to proliferation

   Författare :Karin Boman; Torbjörn Bäckström; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The significance of the hormonal milieu for endometrial changes is as well-known as its link with endometrial carcinoma. Unopposed oestradiol treatment is shown to increase the incidence for this cancer. Obesity leads to elevated levels of oestrogens and is a risk factor for endometrial carcinoma. LÄS MER
