   Sammanfattning : Dysfunction of the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (LHPA) axis is a common finding in advanced dementia. In this study, the function of the LHPA axis at different levels was investigated in patients with dementia and in healthy elderly.A subtle disturbance in the feedback regulation of the LHPA axis was found in patients with early (i.e. LÄS MER

4. 18. Pituitary regulation of plasma lipoprotein metabolism and intestinal cholesterol absorption

   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Increased levels of plasma cholesterol are associated with a higher risk to develop atherosclerosis, the leading cause of death in Western societies. The major part of cholesterol in human blood is transported within low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C) that bind to specific cell surface receptors (LDLRs). LÄS MER

5. 19. Long-term effects of growth hormone replacement in hypopituitary adults on body composition, bone mass and cardiovascular risk factors

   Författare :Mariam Elbornsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; growth hormone deficiency; growth hormone replacement; bone mineral density; body composition; muscle strength; elderly; cardiovascular risk factors; pituitary irradiation;

   Sammanfattning : Growth hormone (GH) deficient (GHD) adults have decreased bone mass and muscle strength, impaired body composition, disturbed serum lipid pattern and increased morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. GH replacement normalizes most of these aberrations within the first year of treatment. LÄS MER
