2. 1. Estrogen-inducible neuropeptides in the rat brain: role in focal ischemic lesions

   Author : Annette Theodorsson; Elvar Theodorsson; A: Langmoen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Estrogen; neuropeptides; galanin; cerebral ischemia; middle cerebral artery occlusion; Neurochemistry; Neurokemi;

   Abstract : Sex steroids in general and estrogens in particular – in addition to their effects on the reproductive organs – affect a large number of crucial bodily functions, including “higher” brain functions.Neuropeptides constitute the phylogenetically oldest neurotransmitter system and are currently thought to act mainly during stress, disease or injury.

4. 2. Focal ischemic reperfusion stroke model in rats and the role of galanin

   Author : Lovisa Holm; Annette Theodorsson; Elvar Theodorsson; Tomas Hökfelt; Yanlin Wang-Fischer; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Stroke is the third most common cause for mortality in industrialised countries and amongst the major causes of long- time morbidity. While the mortality due to myocardial infarction has been dramatically reduced during the last 10-15 years, mortality due to stroke remains almost the same, despite the fact that the two share similar basic pathogenic mechanisms including atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabetes.

5. 3. Challenges in experimental stroke research : The 17β-estradiol example

   Author : Edvin Ingberg; Jakob Ström; Elvar Theodorsson; Annette Theodorsson; Tomas Deierborg; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Ischemic stroke causes millions of deaths around the world each year, and surviving patients often suffer from long-term disability. Hundreds of promising drug candidates have been identified in animal models, but the clinical trials have repeatedly failed. Lack of methodological quality in the animal studies, e.g. READ MORE

6. 4. The dose-dependent effects of estrogens on ischemic stroke

   Author : Jakob Ström; Annette Theodorsson; Elvar Theodorsson; Mats Hammar; Torbjörn Bäckström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Estrogens are a group of female sex hormones that in addition to central roles in reproductive functions also have profound impact on for example brain development, blood vessels, bone tissue, metabolism and the immune system. The dominant endogenous production sites for estrogens in females are the ovaries and adipose tissue, while exogenous sources include combined contraceptive hormone treatments and menopausal hormone therapy.

7. 5. Stress : Clinical and Developmental Aspects of Salivary Cortisol in Infants

   Author : Katrin Ivars; Nina Nelson-Follin; Evalotte Mörelius; Annette Theodorsson; Mikael Norman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : A functional stress-response system is essential for survival at birth, as well as for health and further development. Altered cortisol response and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system function may have both short and long-term effects on health and development throughout life. Cortisol secretion follows a circadian rhythm in adults. READ MORE
