2. 1. Neurohormonal Modulators in the Parathyroid Gland. Localization and regulation

   Author : Lena Luts; Malmö Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Receptor; In situ hybridization; Immunocytochemistry; Nitric Oxide Synthase; Endothelin; Neuropeptides; Chromogranin; Parathyroid adenoma; Parathyroid gland; Parathyroid hormone; mRNA; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

   Abstract : The occurrence and distribution of neurohormonal peptides, neuroendocrine markers and receptors in parathyroid nerve fibers and endocrine cells are described, using immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, image analysis and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Immunocytochemical studies revealed that parathyroid glands of chicken, rat, guinea-pig, cat, dog and sheep contained adrenergic-, cholinergic-, and peptide-containing nerve fibers. READ MORE

   Abstract : Primär hyperparathyroidism, pHPT, är en relativt vanlig endokrinologisk sjukdom som karaktäriseras av förhöjd utsöndring av bisköldkörtelhormon, PTH, i förhållande till kalciumnivån i blodet. Sjukdomen är vanligast hos äldre och kvinnor, och orsakas oftast av en godartad tumör i en bisköldkörtel (80–85% av fallen) eller mer diffus förstoring av flera bisköldkörtlar. READ MORE

   Keywords : ionizing radiation; skin haemangioma; breast cancer; parathyroid adenoma; excess cancer risk; bias; confounding; risk models; pooled analysis.;

   Abstract : Aims. The aims of this study were to establish a cohort of persons treated with radiotherapy for skin haemangioma in childhood and study the excess risk of cancer after exposure to ionizing radiation. READ MORE

6. 4. Growth of parathyroid glands : genetic and functional aspects

   Author : Stiina Välimäki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Parathyroid; primary hyperparathyroidism; secondary hyperparathyroidism; parathyroid carcinoma; chromosome 1; HDAC1; HRPT2; CASR; CAS; VDR; PTH; loss of heterozygosity; tumor suppressor gene; patch clamp; membrane potential; K channels;

   Abstract : Ca2+ is an essential ion with a variety of important functions in the body and it is crucial that the Ca2+ levels are precisely regulated. One of the hormones regulating these processes is parathyroid hormone (PTH) secreted from the parathyroid glands. READ MORE

7. 5. Localization and characterization of genes involved in parathyroid tumor development

   Author : Lars Forsberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Parathyroid; Hyperparathyroidsm; MEN1; HRPT2; Menin; Parafibromin; Chromosome 11; Chromosome 1;

   Abstract : The overall goal of this thesis has been to identify new genes and characterize them regarding the involvement in parathyroid tumor development. The parathyroid glands are responsible for the control of calcium homeostasis. Parathyroid tumors usually have a benign growth pattern, with less than 1% of the tumors being malignant. READ MORE
