  2. 11. Murine B lymphocyte growth regulation : a study of host defence factors and their mimicry by Mycoplasma arginini

    Author : Erik Ruuth; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B lymphocyte; growth; lymphokine; lymphokine-like; host-parasite; M. arginini; membrane acyl protein;

    Abstract : Immune responses are the result of extended clonal growth and maturation of specific precursors preexisting in low frequencies. Clonal expansion is partly controlled by soluble factors, thus, their identification is essential for the understanding of the immune response regulation. READ MORE

  4. 12. Effects of growth hormone on bone tissue in transgenic mice

    Author : Jonas Sandstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Growth hormone; bone; ovariectomy; orchidectomy; growth; Interleukin-6; titanium; transgenic mice;

    Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) affect bone-tissue in both humans and rodents. Also sex steroids are important for growth and the maintenance of normal bone physiology. The specific aims of this study were to investigate how high levels of GH affects bone tissue in mice and to determine whether these effects are dependent on an intact gonadal function. READ MORE

    Abstract : Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have the potential to disrupt the endocrine system in humans and animals with importance for health and development. Additionally, optimal nutrition during pregnancy is critical for fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes. READ MORE

  7. 15. Cardiovascular effects of growth hormone, IGF-I and growth hormone secretagogues

    Author : Åsa Tivesten; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : cardiovascular system; growth hormone; insulin-like growth factor-I; growth hormone secretagogues; echocardiography.;

    Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) may exert direct growth-promoting and metabolic actions on target tissues, but most of its effects are mediated by circulating (endocrine) or local (auto-/paracrine) insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). The GH/IGF-I system has an important role during cardiac development and for maintaining the structure and function of the heart. READ MORE
