  2. 1. Human C-reactive protein : genetic and hormonal regulation and role in atherogenesis

    Author : Alexander Kovacs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Although in decline in the developed world CHD is still the number one killer. The decline is thought to be due to better risk prevention and treatment. C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an marker of CHD. It is associated with several of the major risk factors of CHD. READ MORE

  4. 2. Urinary steroid profiles in doping testing : in relation to natural variation and drug administration

    Author : Jenny Mullen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : To detect doping with endogenous steroids, such as testosterone, biomarkers in urine are measured. These biomarkers include testosterone and some metabolically related steroids. The measured steroids are combined into ratios and together they make up the steroid profile. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background: During the last decades the number of women participating in sports has increased dramatically. Although exercise has beneficial health effects for most of these women, we now realize that strenuous exercise may also have serious medical consequences. Menstrual dysfunction is common among athletes and the exact mechanisms are not known. READ MORE

    Abstract : Due to intensified symptomatic treatment, a majority of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) now go through puberty and reach adulthood. This provides new challenges for the CF health care providers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Gene expression profiling in molecular studies of hormone actions

    Author : Nina Ståhlberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Although the link between hormones and their physiological effects have been known for a long time, large pieces are still missing in our understanding of how these extracellular signals induce their effects at the cellular level. Signal transduction studies have gathered plenty of information about hormone signaling, but the complex network of interactions between different hormones, signaling pathways and cell types is still not completely understood.
