  1. 11. Involvement of vasopressin and oxytocin in the regulation of human uterine activity

    Författare :Margareta Steinwall; Urogynekologi och reproduktionsfarmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; andrology; gynaecology; Obstetrics; uterine activity; oxytocin mRNA; EP2 agonist; receptors; antagonists; oxytocin; vasopressin; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Vasopressin and oxytocin seem to have pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhoea and preterm labour. Prostaglandins are also involved in the regulation of uterine activity with different receptors mediating both stimulation and relaxation. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Elucidating the role of 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 14 in normal physiology and in breast cancer

    Författare :Tove Sivik; Agneta Jansson; Olle Stål; Lars-Arne Haldosén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Oestrogens play key roles in the development of the majority of breast tumours, a fact that has been exploited successfully in treating breast cancer with tamoxifen, which is a selective oestrogen receptor modulator. In post-menopausal women, oestrogens are synthesised in peripheral hormone-target tissues from adrenally derived precursors. LÄS MER

  4. 13. 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

  5. 14. Hormones and sex steroid receptors in the female pig : effects of mating, artificial insemination, seminal plasma and genistein

    Författare :Mattias Norrby; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Artificial insemination (AI) of sows and gilts is replacing mating in many countries. Another change over the last decades is that soya, rich in phytooestrogens, is routinely used in the diet to pigs. LÄS MER

  7. 15. HER2 and TP53 in human breast cancer : studies of methods and prognostic value

    Författare :Jenny Bergqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Breast cancer; HER2; c-erbB-2; TP53; tamoxifen; endocrine resistance;

    Sammanfattning : Prognostic and predictive factors are needed for tailored therapy strategies, aimed at reducing breast cancer relapse and improving survival. The present arsenal of such factors is insufficient. LÄS MER
