2. 1. Enzymatic Regulation of Steroidogenesis and Nuclear Receptor Activation : Special Focus on Vitamin D and Sex Hormones

   Author : Johan Lundqvist; Kjell Wikvall; Maria Norlin; Magnus Ingelman-Sundberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adrenal steroidogenesis; CYP7B1; vitamin D; calcitriol; enzymatic regulation; transcriptional regulation; CYP21A2; aromatase; sex hormone; estrogen; androgen; nuclear receptor; Pharmaceutical biochemistry; Farmaceutisk biokemi; Farmaceutisk biokemi; Pharmaceutical Biochemistry;

   Abstract : Enzyme-catalyzed reactions are important to regulate steroidogenesis and nuclear receptor activation. The present investigation examines the role of steroid metabolism catalyzed by CYP7B1 for regulation of hormone receptor activation and the effects of vitamin D on enzymatic regulation of steroidogenesis.

4. 2. Nuclear receptor corepressor N-CoR : role in transcriptional repression

   Author : Kristina Loinder; Mats Söderström; Eckardt Treuter; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The human body consists of a multitude of cells of varying appearance and function. With a few exceptions they are genetically identical, and the key to their divergence lies in their different specific patterns of gene expression. READ MORE

5. 3. Nuclear medicine methods in idiopathic Parkinsonism : pre- and postsynaptic dopamine SPECT

   Author : Susanna Jakobson Mo; Katrine Åhlström Riklund; Anne Larsson Strömvall; Lars Forsgren; Rimma Axelsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nuclear medicine; SPECT; 123I-FP-Cit; 123I-IBZM; dopamine; parkinsonism; Parkinson’s disease; multiple system atrophy; progressive supranuclear palsy; Radiology; radiologi;

   Abstract : Background: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with dopamine transporter (DAT) and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) ligands can visualise the integrity of the nigrostriatal dopamine system. Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the atypical parkinsonian diseases (APD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), have similar symptoms and dopamine depletion, but differ in pharmacological response and prognosis.

6. 4. Theranostics in Neuroendocrine Tumors : Somatostatin Receptor Imaging and Therapy

   Author : Ezgi Ilan; Mark Lubberink; Peter Bernhardt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 177Lu-DOTATATE; 68Ga-DOTATATE; 68Ga-DOTATOC; PRRT; Theranostics; PET CT; SPECT CT; Neuroendocrine tumors; Somatostatin receptors; Medicinsk radiofysik; Medical Radiophysics;

   Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by cellular overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR), which allows for the use of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) for both imaging and therapy. Because NETs often are diagnosed at a metastatic stage, curative surgery is not possible. READ MORE

7. 5. Functional studies on the nuclear receptor Nurr1

   Author : Mariette Nordzell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily comprises the largest family of ligand-activated transcription factors in eukaryotes, and it plays critical roles in many aspects of vertebrate development and physiology. The NR family is well conserved throughout evolution, and is found in organisms as diverse as nematodes, flies and mammals. READ MORE
