   Abstract : Organizational size is a common way to describe and understand organizations invarious settings: in every-day situations as well as in organizational research. Withinorganization theory, organizational size has been seen variously as a basic feature ofthe organization (an independent variable); as a result of a reaction to the environmentof the organization (a dependent variable); or as a basic criterion for the selectionand categorizing of empirical cases (a selective variable).

4. 2. Estrogen : molecular mechanisms of antidiabetic action

   Author : Saad Misfer Al-Qahtani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome is multifactorial and hormones play an essential role in its development. Estrogen loss in postmenopausal women has been linked to several features of metabolic syndrome, while estrogen replacement therapy reverses these pathological and metabolic features. READ MORE

6. 4. Molecular mechanisms of estrogen and antiestrogen action

   Author : Tomas Barkhem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Estrogen receptor; SHBG; tamoxifen; raloxifene; pS2; p1 60 coactivator; SRC-1; TIF-2;

   Abstract : Estrogen is a key regulatory hormone that affects numerous physiological processes. The estrogen receptors (ER), ER alpha and ER beta, play a central role in mediating the effects of both estrogens and antiestrogens. Estrogen signaling has proven to be multifaceted and the precise mechanism of action remains in many cases elusive. READ MORE
