   Abstract : Premenstrual dysphoria, so severe that it affects the lives of the women afflicted, is the condition studied in this thesis. Physiological and pharmacological mechanisms of pathogenetic relevance were investigated. READ MORE

4. 2. Expression, regulation and fuction of small ubiquitin-related modifier-1. Interaction with nuclear proteins in vivo

   Author : Linus Ruijin Shao; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SUMO-1; LH receptor; PR isoforms; caspase-3; DNA fragmentation; apoptosis; granulosa cells; HIF-1alpha; hypoxia; brain and heart;

   Abstract : The small ubiquitin-related modifier-1 (SUMO-1) is a 101-amino acid, ~12 kDa protein that is 18% identical to ubiquitin. Posttranslational covalent tagging of proteins with SUMO-1 (SUMOylation) serves many functions. For example, regulation of protein stability and modulation of transcriptional activation. READ MORE

5. 3. Allopregnanolone effects in women : clinical studies in relation to the menstrual cycle, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and oral contraceptive use

   Author : Erika Timby; Marie Bixo; Torbjörn Bäckström; Anna-Carin N Wihlbäck; C Neill Epperson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allopregnanolone; GABAA receptor; menstrual cycle; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; saccadic eye velocity; oral contraceptives; hypothalamic amenorrhea;

   Abstract : Background: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) affects 3–8% of women in fertile ages. Combined oral contraceptives (OCs) are widely used and some users experience adverse mood effects. The cyclicity of PMDD symptoms coincides with increased endogenous levels of allopregnanolone after ovulation. READ MORE

6. 4. Intraovarian mechanisms influencing the human corpus luteum

   Author : Ulrika Ottander; Torbjörn Hillensjö; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Corpus luteum; steroidreceptors; progesterone; LH hCG; PGF2α; ultrasonography;

   Abstract : Introduction: The human corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine gland, only functionally active for about 14 days. Its principal function is to produce and secrete progesterone and thereby support the endometrium for implantation of a blastocyst and prevent rejection of the developing embryo. READ MORE

7. 5. Regulation of apoptosis and steroidogenesis in ovarian preovulatory granulosa cells

   Author : Eva Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; apoptosis; granulosa cells; luteinizing hormone; progesterone receptor; RU 486; Org 31710; leptin; steroidogenesis;

   Abstract : Only a minute fraction of ovarian follicles present in a foetal ovary will complete the path to ovulation. The majority of the follicles will instead undergo atresia, a hormonally controlled apoptotic process. Apoptosis occurs throughout follicle development, with an extensive reduction in the number of follicles present at birth. READ MORE
