1. Steroid-Metabolizing Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes in the Maintenance of Cholesterol and Sex Hormone Levels
Sammanfattning : The enzymes CYP27A1 and CYP7B1 are widely expressed in various human tissues and perform catalytic reactions in cholesterol homeostasis and endocrine signaling. We have investigated the metabolism of a synthetic oxysterol. LÄS MER
2. Hormonal Regulation of Vaginal Mucosa
Sammanfattning : Vaginal atrophy symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and itching, are common after menopause. Vaginal estrogen therapy is the most effective treatment but not appropriate for all women. LÄS MER
3. Enzymatic Regulation of Steroidogenesis and Nuclear Receptor Activation : Special Focus on Vitamin D and Sex Hormones
Sammanfattning : Enzyme-catalyzed reactions are important to regulate steroidogenesis and nuclear receptor activation. The present investigation examines the role of steroid metabolism catalyzed by CYP7B1 for regulation of hormone receptor activation and the effects of vitamin D on enzymatic regulation of steroidogenesis.

4. GABA-steroid effects in healthy subjects and women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Sammanfattning : Background: The progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone is involved in several clinical conditions in women, e.g. premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It is a very potent GABA-steroid with GABA-A receptor effects similar to other GABA-agonists, e. LÄS MER
5. Molecular studies of dyslexia : regulation and function of DYX1C1
Sammanfattning : Developmental dyslexia is a specific reading disability characterized by unexpected difficulty in reading and writing despite adequate intelligence, education, normal senses and social environment. It is the most common childhood learning disorder affecting five to ten percent of school age children and it is more common among boys than girls. LÄS MER
