  2. 16. Muscles, Estrogen, and Bone

    Author : Eva Ljunggren Ribom; Hans Mallmin; Karin Piehl-Aulin; Kim Thorsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Muscle strength; Bone mineral density; Ultrasound; Body composition; Hormone replacement therapy; Estrogen receptor alpha; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Sweden has one of the highest incidences of osteoporotic fractures in the world. A more sedentary lifestyle is one of several proposed reasons for the increase in osteoporosis seen in the developed countries. READ MORE

  4. 17. Plant foods, plasma enterolactone and breast cancer - with a focus on estrogen receptor status and genetic variation

    Author : Emily Sonestedt; Diabetes - kardiovaskulär sjukdom; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; plant foods; breast cancer; fibre; epidemiology; lignans; enterolactone; plasma; estrogen receptor α; estrogen receptor β; polymorphisms; reliability; nutrition; prospective;

    Abstract : Diets high in fibre have previously been associated with decreased risk of breast cancer in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Several potent compounds may exist in high-fibre diets that might protect against breast cancer, for example lignans. READ MORE

  5. 18. Genetic Variability in Human Bone Phenotypes : The Vitamin D Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor-α Cofactor RIZ Gene

    Author : Elin Grundberg; Andreas Kindmark; Östen Ljunggren; Helena Brändström; André G. Uitterlinden; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Bone mineral density; candidate gene approach; polymorphism; the vitamin D receptor; the estrogen receptor α; RIZ1; cofactor; allelic imbalance; Medicin;

    Abstract : Important candidate genes to human bone phenotypes are those involved in the regulation of hormonal action, such as the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the estrogen receptor-α (ERα) genes and their cofactors. RIZ1 is a specific ERα cofactor proved to strongly enhance the function of the ERα. READ MORE

  6. 19. Role of estrogen receptor beta in epithelia lacking estrogen receptor alpha expression

    Author : Andrea Morani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Estrogen Receptors; Extracellular Matrix; Prostate Cancer; Lung Diseases; Ovarian Follicle;

    Abstract : Estrogens influence the physiology of many organs by activation of the nuclear receptors ERalpha and ERbeta. The epithelium of ventral prostate, ovarian granulosa cells and lung, are ERalpha-negative but express high levels of ERbeta. This thesis focuses on the role played by ERbeta in ERalpha-negative epithelium. READ MORE
