2. 1. Expression and function of vascular estrogen receptors alpha and beta

   Author : Min Liang; Kärlfysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetologi; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; ubiquitin-proteasome pathway; MIP-2; MCP-1; iNOS; estrogen receptor knockout; estrogen receptor; aorta; estrogen;

   Abstract : Estrogen receptors (ER) are expressed not only in classical target organs for estrogen like breast and uterus, but also in male reproductive system as well as in non-reproductive organs such as brain, liver and bone. The functions of ER are quite well known in reproductive organs but less information is available regarding their function in vascular tissue. READ MORE

4. 2. Roles of Androgens in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology

   Author : Elin Svedlund Eriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; androgens; androgen receptor; atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; immune system; SARMs; male mice;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is the major underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, and these conditions are the leading causes of death both in Sweden and globally. The immune system is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as well as post-MI cardiac injury. READ MORE

5. 3. The role of estrogen receptors in the auditory system

   Author : Konstantina Charitidi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Both laboratory and clinical studies have previously demonstrated estrogenic effects on auditory function. The overall scope of this study was to investigate the physiological and molecular involvement of estrogens and estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) in hearing physiology. READ MORE

6. 4. 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
