  2. 1. Role of nuclear receptors in the regulation of human adipose tissue metabolism

    Author : Prasad G. Kamble; Jan W Eriksson; Ingrid Dahlman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : human adipose tissue; nuclear receptors; glucocorticoids; estrogen; PPARγ; lipocalin 2; glucose uptake; lipolysis; adipogenesis; genotype-based recall;

    Abstract : Nuclear receptors modulate expression of genes involved in adipose tissue (AT) metabolism. Their improved understanding may provide new treatment options for metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). READ MORE

  5. 3. Male Subfertility and Prostate Cancer Risk: Epidemiological and Genetic Studies

    Author : Yasir Ruhayel; Malmö Molekylärgenetisk reproduktionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytoplasmic and nuclear; Receptors; Prostatic neoplasms; genetic; Polymorphism; male; Infertility; Hypogonadism; Genetic association studies; Case–control studies; Androgens;

    Abstract : Androgen action plays a pivotal role in male reproductive tract physiology and pathology. The androgen receptor (AR) gene harbors two codon repeat tracts: the CAG and GGN repeats, encoding corresponding amino acid sequences of variable length; the polyglutamine and polyglycine stretches, respectively.

  6. 4. Studies on nuclear receptors involved in drug metabolism

    Author : Göran Bertilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The molecular basis for drug metabolism is starting to emerge as a result of cloning and characterization of a group of nuclear receptors that respond to drugs by transcriptional regulation of key genes encoding enzymes involved in metabolism of commonly used drugs. This thesis describes the identification and functional, as well as the structural, characterization of one of these receptors, the human pregnenolone activated receptor (hPAR, NR1I2) that also has been referred to as the pregnane X receptor (PXR) or the steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) by others.

  7. 5. Gene regulation by nuclear hormone receptors in vivo

    Author : Anethe Mansén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The nuclear hormone receptor superfamily contains 49 different members, including those for thyroid hormone, TR? and TR?. These receptors are ligand-modulated transcription factors that activate or repress gene activity. The TR? gene encodes two main splice variants, TR?1 and TR?2. READ MORE
