  2. 1. Bone Metabolism in Men

    Author : Peter Gillberg; Olof Johnell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Male osteoporosis; Bone mineral density; Growth hormone; Insulin-like growth factors; Sex hormones; Growth hormone replacement; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the importance of the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system and sex steroids for male bone metabolism has been investigated, and the effects of continuous low dose GH replacement in GH deficient (GHD) adults. In a population-based sample of men, positive correlations were found between bone mineral density (BMD) and IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 and the testosterone/sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) ratio.

  4. 2. The role of the prostate in androgen metabolism

    Author : Mats Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The androgenic steroid hormones are essential for the physiological development of the prostate gland and are also implicated in pathological processes such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. The systemic effect of endocrine activity in the prostate gland has so far been considered of minor importance. READ MORE

  5. 3. The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism and fracture healing

    Author : Fredrik Nyquist; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kirurgi; traumatology; orthopaedics; Surgery; fracture prediction.; fracture healing; bone mineral density; Alcohol; post-traumatic osteopenia; fracture; ortopedi; traumatologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

    Abstract : The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism, fracture and fracture healing was evaluated in men and male rats by measurements of bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical markers and biomechanical testings. Retrospectively, 199 male patients hospitalized for tibia shaft fractures were studied. Forty-nine were judged as problem drinkers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Circulating markers of risk and etiology in colorectal cancer

    Author : Justin Harbs; Sophia Harlid; Bethany van Guelpen; Xijia Liu; Henrik Grönberg; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. Worldwide around 2 million individuals are diagnosed each year – a number expected to increase as colorectal cancer risk factors become more prevalent. READ MORE

  7. 5. Polycystic ovary syndrome – Studies of metabolic and ovarian disturbances and effects of physical exercise and electro-acupuncture

    Author : Louise Mannerås Holm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : adipocyte size; adipose tissue; androgen excess; animal models; body composition; electro-acupuncture; insulin resistance; ovary; physical exercise; polycystic ovary syndrome;

    Abstract : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine abnormality in premenopausal women. The syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and polycystic ovarian (PCO) morphology. Metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance and obesity, are also associated with PCOS. READ MORE
