1. Exploring vitamin D and steroid hormone receptors – from healthy elderly to prostate cancer cells
Abstract : The genetic background together with environmental factors and lifestyle are key contributors to the health of an individual. Genetic background is inherited and irreversible unless mutations occur. However, lifestyle habits (i.e. READ MORE

2. Estrogen and liver X receptors in human disease
Abstract : The nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) are a class of transcription factors that has attracted great interest due to their important roles in animal physiology and metabolism. Studies of knockout (KO) mouse models have indicated several pathophysiological conditions in which the NRs are involved. READ MORE

3. Protein tyrosine kinases in insulin producing cells : Expression and putative importance for beta-cell function
Abstract : Protein tyrosine kinases are of importance for cell replication and differentiation in manysystems. The mechanisms controlling the replication and differentiation of insulin producingcells are unknown. READ MORE

4. Regulation of gene transcription by the thyroid hormone receptors
Abstract : Thyroid hormone (TH) has important effects on postnatal development as well as on adult metabolic homeostasis. TH meditates its effects through different isoforms of the thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) encoded by the TRalpha and TRbeta genes, respectively. TRs belong to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. READ MORE

5. Neuropeptide Y Receptors in Human, Guinea pig and Chicken : Cloning, in vitro Pharmacology and in situ Hybridization
Abstract : Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is known to influence a vast number of physiological and behavioral processes such as vasoconstriction, circadian rhythms, feeding, anxiety and memory. Peptides of the NPY family bind to five different cloned G-protein coupled receptor subtypes (Y1, 2, 4-6). READ MORE
