1. The Physiology of Chicken Domestication : Involvement of the HPA-axis and the Autonomic Nervous System
Sammanfattning : Domesticering är en urvalsprocess för önskvärda egenskaper hos djur som över tid förändrar deras utseende, beteende och genetik. Några exempel av djur som genomgått denna riktade avel är vargen, mufflon, uroxen, vildsvinet och den röda djungelhönan som vi idag känner som hunden, fåret, kon, grisen och slaktkycklingen. LÄS MER
2. Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency
Sammanfattning : Background: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are effective in treating many diseases and are widely used. However, glucocorticoid treatment can down-regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and lead to glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency. LÄS MER
3. Incidentally detected adrenal lesions - radiological aspects
Sammanfattning : Incidentally detected adrenal lesions (“adrenal incidentalomas”) have become a growing clinical problem due to increased and refined radiology methods. Autopsy studies show frequencies as high as 7-8% in the elderly. A large part of such lesions give no health problems but some can be related to hormone overproduction or malignant disease. LÄS MER
4. Incidentally discovered adrenal tumours, adrenal metastases and pheochromocytomas - Clinical and epidemiological aspects
Sammanfattning : With increasing use of high resolution radiological imaging incidentally discovered adrenal tumours (adrenal incidentalomas, AI) have become a common clinical problem. The aim of work-up and follow-up of patients with AI is to detect malignant (primary or metastatic) and/or hormone-producing tumours. LÄS MER
5. Interaction of Xenobiotics with the Glucocorticoid Hormone System in vitro
Sammanfattning : Persistent environmental pollutants were examined for their interaction with the glucocorticoid hormone system. The focus was placed on interference with the glucocorticoid synthesis and the glucocorticoid-signalling pathway in various in vitro test systems. LÄS MER
