  2. 6. Sex steroids, IGF-I, and vascular morphology from birth to adulthood in individuals born small for gestational age

    Author : Kerstin Allvin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small for gestational age; preterm; sex steroid; estradiol; testosterone; dihydrotestosterone; glucocorticoid; retina; IGF-I;

    Abstract : Abstract Aim: To study whether there is an association between size at birth, sex steroids, IGF-I, and retinal vascular morphology. Patients and methods: Two different cohorts were studied. In paper I, 25 young adult men born small for gestational age (SGA) were compared to 44 young adult men born appropriate for gestational age (AGA). READ MORE

  4. 7. IGF-I receptors, insulin receptors and insulin/IGF-I hybrid receptors in human endothelial cells : with special reference to diabetes

    Author : Marloes Dekker Nitert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Patients with diabetes mellitus are known to develop vascular complications, which occur as macroangiopathy, atherosclerosis and mediasclerosis, as well as microangiopathy, e.g. retinopathy and nephropathy. The precise mechanisms causing these complications have not yet been elucidated. READ MORE

  5. 8. Action and interaction of growth factors and regulatory molecules in vascular cells : With special reference to the IGF-I-system

    Author : Gunilla Dahlfors; Anna Hultgårdh-Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Vascular function is greatly influenced by growth factors and regulatory molecules that can interact with each other in a complex pattern in the vascular wall. In this thesis we studied how different substances of special interest in the pathogenesis of vascular disease interact and regulate each other's expressions in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

  7. 10. Early growth, retinopathy of prematurity and insulin-like growth factors in preterm infants

    Author : Eva Engström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Preterm; ROP; nutrition; growth; growth restriction; IGF-I; IGF-II; IGFBP-3;

    Abstract : Aims:Paper I: To perform measurements of the lower leg length (LLL) in preterm infants, compare and evaluate handling error and precision of two instruments, and estimate the time required to show growth.Paper II-IV: To investigate whether low postnatal levels of serum IGF-I are associated with abnormal retinal vessel development.
