1. Growth hormone regulation of LFABP and PPARa. Genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism
Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) is known to have several important effects in the control of metabolism. The aim of these studies was to investigate how GH regulates genes involved in fatty acid transport and metabolism in the liver and the interaction between GH and fatty acids in this regulation.

2. Studies of the C/EBP family of transcription factors : cloning, regulation, and expression
Abstract : The CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein (C/EBP) family belongs to the basic leucine zipper class of transcription factors with a total of 6 members having been identified in this family so far. This gene family has been mainly implicated in regulation of cell specific gene expression and differentiation. READ MORE

3. Human ovarian surface epithelium and ovarian cancer. Aspects of growth regulation
Abstract : The ovary is covered with a single layer of epithelial cells, the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). The OSE is degraded during every menstrual cycle to enable ovulation, and is subsequently reconstituted to cover the rupture site. This single cell layer is proposed as the origin for about 90 % of all ovarian cancers. READ MORE

4. Transcriptional control of Bactericidal/permeability increasing protein (BPI) and cathepsin G in myeloid cells
Abstract : The neutrophil store its effector proteins in several distinct types of cytoplasmic granules, developed sequentially during cell maturation. The different subtypes of granules have unique protein content and functional characteristics. The formation of each granule subtype coincides with the biosynthesis of its content. READ MORE

5. Hormonal regulation of sex differentiated liver carcinogenesis in the rat
Abstract : Endocrine factors influence cancer development in a variety of reproductive and non-reproductive tissues and organs. The incidence of liver cancer is higher in men than in women and long-term administration of androgens and estrogens has been reported to increase the risk for liver cancer formation, supporting the importance of hormonal factors in the etiology of this tumor.
