  2. 1. Cholesterol metabolism in breast cancer: Prognostic factors and optimizing treatment

    Author : Maria Inasu; Bröstcancer - prevention & intervention; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; Statins; Cholesterol; menopausal status; endocrine treatment; disease recurrence;

    Abstract : AbstractBreast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women in Sweden and worldwide. Adjuvant endocrine therapies are effective, yet 20-30% patients experience disease relapse. Altered cholesterol metabolism is an emerging hallmark of breast cancer proliferation and endocrine therapy resistance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Selenoproteins in the Bovine Mammary Gland. Regulation of mRNA and Protein Expression

    Author : Katharina Bruzelius; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; metabolism; Biokemi; Metabolism; Biochemistry; Naturvetenskap; milk; Natural science; cancer; prolactin; insulin; hydrocortisone; retinoic acid; MAC-T; northern blot; two-dimensional electrophoresis; bovine mammary gland; selenium; selenoprotein;

    Abstract : Selenium is a micronutrient that is essential for many important life processes due to the action of the specific selenoproteins containing one or more of the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine. Twenty-five selenoprotein genes have been found in the human genome but the function of many of them is not yet known. READ MORE

  5. 3. Heterogeneity of human metabolism in health and disease: a modelling perspective

    Author : Pouyan Ghaffari Nouran; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer metabolism; fatty acid metabolism; genome-scale metabolic models; community modeling; heterogeneity; lung cancer; amino acids metabolism; gut microbiome;

    Abstract : Metabolism is broadly defined as the sum of biochemical reactions within cells that are involved in maintaining the living state of the organism. Profound importance of metabolism comes from the fact that it is the sole source of energy that allows life to resist to be degraded into entropy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Calcium metabolism and breast cancer risk

    Author : Martin Almquist; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; calcium; breast cancer; vitamin D; body mass index; menopause; parathyroid hormone;

    Abstract : Emerging evidence suggests that calcium and its regulating hormones, i.e. vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH), affect breast cancer risk. READ MORE

  7. 5. Folate - Associations with breast cancer depending on intake, metabolism, genetic variation and estrogen receptor status

    Author : Ulrika Ericson; Diabetes - kardiovaskulär sjukdom; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; folate; B-vitamins; breast cancer; diet; epidemiology; nutrition; plasma; polymorphism; estrogen receptor α; estrogen receptor β; reproducibility; prospective;

    Abstract : Folate is a B-vitamin that may influence cancer development via its role as methyl donor for DNA synthesis and methylation. Plant foods contain many bioactive compounds including folate and fiber. Results from the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort indicate lower breast cancer risk at high fiber intake. READ MORE
