1. Sex differences in immune response and sex hormone receptor expression in healthy individuals and during viral infection
Sammanfattning : There is sex-bias in morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases. Infections kill more men than women and several studies have pointed out differences in the immune system as a reason. The sex hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all shape the effect of the immune response on multiple levels. LÄS MER
2. Stroke, Sex and Vascular Receptor Changes in the Brain
Sammanfattning : Stroke is a severe cerebrovascular disease in which the neuronal tissue and vasculature of the brain undergo ischemia-evoked alterations. We have demonstrated an increased expression of cerebrovascular contractile receptors in the brain. This is hypothesized to mitigate cerebral blood flow and exacerbate tissue damage after stroke.

3. Sex steroid hormone receptors : inner ear and hearing
Sammanfattning : It is well known that hearing loss is more profound in elderly males than females, regardless of noise exposure. Also, an age-related hearing decline starts much earlier in males, already after the age of 30, while in women, the decline does not start until the age of 50. LÄS MER
4. Sex, hormonal factors and pancreatic cancer

Worldwide, pancreatic cancer is more common among men, however in Sweden, the incidence ratio between sexes is levelling. LÄS MER
5. Polymorphism in sex steroid-related genes. Effects on hormone levels and behavior
Sammanfattning : Genetic factors are important for variations between individuals with respect to most humantraits and diseases. Sex steroids are of profound importance for reproduction, metabolism,cardiovascular function and bone formation. They are potent regulators of their ownsynthesis as well as of that of other hormones, including prolactin. LÄS MER
