  2. 1. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS AND SPERM Y:X CHROMOSOME RATIO. Impact of androgen- and dioxin-related effects in vivo and in vitro

    Author : Tarmo Tiido; Malmö Reproduktionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AR; polymorphisms; Sertoli cell; endocrine disruption; inhibitory cross-talk; Biomedicinska vetenskaper; Biomedical sciences; AHR; sperm Y:X chromosome ratio; sex ratio; POPs; TCDD;

    Abstract : During the last decades, there has been concern that the environmental contaminants, such as POPs, may contribute to sex ratio changes in offspring of exposed populations. Accidental exposure to TCDD has been shown to be associated with fewer sons in men who were exposed in adolescence or earlier in life. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Cross-Talk between GABA Signalling and Metabolic Hormones in the Brain and Pancreatic Islets

    Author : Yang Jin; Bryndis Birnir; Vidar Gundersen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : GABA is a well-known neurotransmitter that can be synthesized in the central nervous system (CNS) and, interestingly, also in pancreatic islets. Once released, GABA activates GABA-A channels tonically or transiently resulting in different physiological functions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Search for markers and molecular mechanisms of aggressive endometrial cancer : profiling of aggressive vs non-aggressive endometrial cancers

    Author : Sanaz Attarha; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Endometrial cancer is the seventh frequent type of cancer among women. Identification of new prognostic markers is important to optimize treatment and follow-up of all EC patients. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis may pave through discovery of further EC molecular markers. READ MORE

  6. 4. GABA-, glycine- and glutamate-induced currents in rat medial preoptic neurons : functional interactions and modulation by capsaicin

    Author : Urban Karlsson; Staffan Johansson; Johannes Krupp; Bryndis Birnir; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medial preoptic nucleus; synaptic transmission; glutamate; GABA; glycine; TRPV1; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The medial preoptic nucleus (MPN) of the hypothalamus plays a major role in many functions involved in maintaining bodily homeostasis, such as thermoregulation and osmoregulation, as well as in the control of complex behaviours, e.g. sexual behaviour. READ MORE

  7. 5. NK cell education and adhesion molecules : implications for immunotherapy

    Author : Arnika Kathleen Wagner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : NK cells have a key role in immune surveillance. They detect aberrant expression of stressinduced molecules and MHC class I molecules with an array of activating and inhibitory receptors. READ MORE
