  1. 1. Behavioral effects of female sex steroid hormones : models of PMS and PMDD in Wistar rats

    Sammanfattning : Background Animal models can be used to mimic human conditions of psychopathology, and also as pre-clinical models to evaluate candidate drugs. With hormonal treatment it is possible to produce behavior in the rat which corresponds to the mental symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), and pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Human Endometrium : Studies on Angiogenesis and Endometriosis

    Författare :Christian Moberg; Matts Olovsson; Anneli Stavreus-Evers; Lalit Kumar Parameswaran Grace; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endometrium; angiogenesis; endothelial cell; endometriosis; receptivity; implantation; oestrogen receptor; progesterone receptor; crystallin; interleukin; vasoactive intestinal peptide; peritoneal fluid; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is thought to play a pivotal role in the cycling endometrium. Coordinated by oestrogen and progesterone, endometrial blood vessel development is primarily mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), which promotes endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and protects ECs from induced apoptosis.

  4. 3. Aspects on menstrual physiology, pathology and medical treatment of menorrhagia

    Författare :Måns Edlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Menstruation; endometrium; coiled arteries; endothelin; vasoconstriction; progesterone withdrawal; menorrhagia; bleeding disorder; von Willebrand Disease; fibrinolysis; tranexamic acid; desmopressin; platelet dysfunction; thrombin.;

    Sammanfattning : Menstruation is the monthly process by which the endometrium in fertile women is discarded if no pregnancy occurs. The physiology and pathology of menstruation has been extensively studied; still several steps are not fully understood. Menorrhagia, heavy regular menstrual bleeding, is a gynaecological symptom of disease. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Hormones, Mood and Cognition

    Författare :Kristiina Kask; Inger Sundström Poromaa; Torbjörn Bäckström; Britth-Marie Landgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; startle response; prepulse inhibition; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; menstrual cycle; pregnancy; postpartum period; episodic memory; semantic memory; working memory; progesterone; estradiol; allopregnanolone.; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Obstetrik och gynekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Ovarian steroid hormones are neuroactive steroids with widespread actions in the brain, and are thus able to influence mood, behavior and cognition. In this thesis the effects of progesterone withdrawal and the direct effects of the progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone are evaluated. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The influence of sex hormones on neuromuscular function and premenstrual symptoms

    Författare :Linda Ekenros; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :postural control;

    Sammanfattning : The menstrual cycle with fluctuation in female sex hormones has been suggested to influence neuromuscular function. However, variation in ligament laxity, soft tissue stiffness, and skeletal muscle strength across the menstrual cycle has led to conflicting results. LÄS MER
