1. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in heart failure : exploring the gap between guideline-directed medical therapy and real-world practice
Abstract : Heart failure is the possible end-result of a variety of different diseases, where ischemic heart disease and hypertension are the most common causes in high income countries. In Sweden, heart failure has a prevalence of 2% in the adult population and rises to over 10% among people over 70 years of age. The 5-year all-cause mortality is about 50%. READ MORE

2. Gluco- and mineralocorticoid receptor regulation of regional brain neurotrophism
Abstract : Gluco- and mineralocorticoid hormones exert powerful actions on brain function and are important in the mediation of the stress response and the survival of hippocampal neurons. The aim of this thesis was to study the influence of glucocorticoid (GR)/mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) actions on brain neurotrophism including analyses of immediate early genes (IEGs) and of feedback responses on GR and/or MR.

3. Functional analysis of ligand recognition by the glucocorticoid receptor
Abstract : The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that belongs to the superfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. It contains three structural and functional domains. READ MORE

4. Corticosteroid receptors and Na,K-ATPase in the developing mouse cochlea
Abstract : The senses of hearing and equilibrium are highly dependent on the fluid and electrolyte homeostasis in the inner ear. The characteristic intracellular-like ionic composition of endolymph fluid in relation to the surrounding perilymph creates the endocochlear potential (EP), which is a prerequisite for inner ear function.

5. Post-Ischemic Housing Conditions Influence On Gene Transcription And Translation After Permanent Focal Brain Ischemia In Rats
Abstract : Enriched environment (EE) housing significantly ameliorates neurological deficits induced by cortical brain ischemia without changing infarction size, suggesting that EE-related functional benefits are associated with neuronal plasticity events in the remaining tissue. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor-induced gene A (NGFI-A) and corticosteroid receptors (mineralocorticoid receptor, MR; glucocorticoid receptor, GR) have been demonstrated to be involved in brain plasticity.
