  1. 21. Polycystic ovary syndrome : studies of affective symptoms in association with sex steroids and evaluation of electroacupuncture and physical exercise

    Författare :Elizabeth Jedel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common heterogeneous condition in women of reproductive age, relating to both physical and mental health. Thoughts on primary pathological origins shift from the ovary to the adrenal gland. Insulin signaling pathways and sympathetic nerve activity are thought to be involved. LÄS MER

  3. 22. The effect of sequence truncation and amino-acid substitutions on the biophysical properties of protein S and calbindin D9k

    Författare :Karin Julenius; Biofysikalisk kemi; []

    Sammanfattning : Protein S is a modular protein and a cofactor in the protein C anticoagulant system. It consists of a Gla-module, a thrombin-sensitive loop, four EGF-modules and a SHBG-like module. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Effects of increased levels of androgens on voice and vocal folds in women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and female-to-male transsexual persons

    Författare :Ulrika Nygren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Voice virilization in women may occur due to increased levels of androgens. Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are at risk for voice virilization due to an enzyme deficiency that causes increased production of androgens and lack of cortisol. LÄS MER

  5. 24. The role of the prostate in androgen metabolism

    Författare :Mats Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The androgenic steroid hormones are essential for the physiological development of the prostate gland and are also implicated in pathological processes such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. The systemic effect of endocrine activity in the prostate gland has so far been considered of minor importance. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Hormonal mechanisms of menstrual disturbances, metabolic disorders and effects of oral contraceptives in female athletes

    Författare :Anette Rickenlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Female athletes; athletic amenorrhea; polycystic ovary syndrome; body composition; bone mineral density; endothelial function; physical performance; oral contraceptives;

    Sammanfattning : Background: During the last decades the number of women participating in sports has increased dramatically. Although exercise has beneficial health effects for most of these women, we now realize that strenuous exercise may also have serious medical consequences. Menstrual dysfunction is common among athletes and the exact mechanisms are not known. LÄS MER
