  1. 26. 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

  3. 27. Polymorphism in sex steroid-related genes. Effects on hormone levels and behavior

    Författare :Lars Westberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sex steroids; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; progesterone receptor; polymorphism; genetics; association study; prolactin; personality; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; Parkinson s disease;

    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

  4. 28. Steroid-Metabolizing Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes in the Maintenance of Cholesterol and Sex Hormone Levels

    Författare :Hanna Pettersson; Maria Norlin; Kjell Wikvall; Paolo Parini; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CYP27A1; CYP7B1; cytochrome P450; estrogen receptor; androgen receptor; cholesterol; sex hormone; hydroxylation; steroid metabolism; regulation of steroid levels; Pharmaceutical biochemistry; Farmaceutisk biokemi; Farmaceutisk biokemi; Pharmaceutical Biochemistry;

    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

  5. 29. The male predominance in oesophageal adenocarcinoma and the role of sex hormones

    Författare :Sirus Rabbani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Oesophageal adenocarcinoma is a subtype of oesophageal cancer with rapidly rising incidence over the last decades. This rise in incidence is strongest in western countries and more among men than in women, with a male predominance of up to 9:1 in some countries. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Growth hormones in chronic kidney disease

    Författare :Erik Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Several hormonal systems are disrupted in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and disturbances of the growth hormone axis could contribute to increased morbidity and mortality through effects on cardiovascular health, energy metabolism and inflammation. The overall aim of this thesis was to increase knowledge about hormonal alterations and their consequences in CKD, focusing on cardiovascular disease (CVD), mortality and the growth hormone axis in end-stage renal disease.
