  2. 1. Assessment and Treatment of Impaired Insulin- Secretion and Action in Type 2 Diabetes

    Author : Mozhgan Dorkhan; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 2 diabetes; insulin secretion; glucagon test; insulin resistance; insulin glargine; insulin tolerance test; thiazolidinediones; natriuretic peptides; adiponectin; thyroid associated ophthalmopathy; proinsulin;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a disease characterised by varying degrees of defect in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Optimal glycaemic control reduces the progression of diabetic complications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Life without thyroid hormone receptors

    Author : Sten Göthe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thyroid hormone (TH) has many important functions during development and in the adult individual. It reaches its target cells via the blood system and binds its receptor (TR) located within the cell nucleus where the receptor regulates target genes. This hormone-mediated gene regulation is a finely tuned interplay of numerous parameters. READ MORE

  5. 3. The endocrine system in the progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia

    Author : Patrick Quinlan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thyroid hormones; Insulin-like growth factor-I; Alzheimer’s disease; Vascular dementia; Mild cognitive impairment;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Endocrine alterations have been related to cognitive decline, but the role of hormones may vary along the progression to manifest dementia. The overall aim of this thesis was to assess whether thyroid hormones (THs) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are dysregulated around the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD).
