11. Apoptosis, proliferation, and sex steroid receptors in endometrium and endometrial carcinoma
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the involvement of apoptosis and proliferation in the mechanisms of menstruation and hormonal replacement therapy, HRT, as well as in the mechanisms of progesterone therapy in endometrial carcinoma. The aim of the first study was to investigate endometrium for 4 days before and for 2 days during menstruation. LÄS MER
12. Intraovarian mechanisms influencing the human corpus luteum
Sammanfattning : Introduction: The human corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine gland, only functionally active for about 14 days. Its principal function is to produce and secrete progesterone and thereby support the endometrium for implantation of a blastocyst and prevent rejection of the developing embryo. LÄS MER
13. On the biology of premenstrual dysphoria and panic disorder
Sammanfattning : Premenstrual dysphoria (PMD) afflicts 7% of all women of fertile age, and is characterized by symptoms such as irritability, sadness, and mood swings, appearing regularly before menstruation, and being of such severity that they markedly reduce quality of life. The symptoms are dependent of sex steroids, and seem to be under the influence of serotonin, since they respond to treatment with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs). LÄS MER
14. Progesterone receptor-mediated effects on apoptosis in periovulatory granulosa cells
Sammanfattning : The most common fate of developing ovarian follicles is demise due to a process known as atresia. Regulation of atresia is dependent on the developmental stage of the follicles, resulting in a continuous reduction of the number of follicles as they differentiate and grow towards ovulation.

15. The Plasminogen Activation System in Human Endometrium and Endometrial Cancer; Function, Tissue Localization and Prognostic Importance
Sammanfattning : The release of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) from endometrial stromal cells decreased after progesterone stimulation, due to upregulation of PA inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and uPA receptor (uPAR). Subsequently, the uPA:PAI-1 complex was internalized and degraded via uPAR. LÄS MER
