  2. 1. Somatostatin Receptor Expression and Biological Functions in Endocrine Pancreatic Cells

    Author : Eva Ludvigsen; Stellan Sandler; Eva Tiensuu Janson; Mats Stridsberg; Frank Sundler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell biology; somatostatin; somatostatin receptors; somatostatin analogues; NOD mouse; type 1 diabetes; pancreatic islets; BON-1 cells; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Type 1 diabetes is resulting from the selective destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells within the pancreatic islets. Somatostatin acts as an inhibitor of hormone secretion through specific receptors (sst1-5). READ MORE

  4. 2. Growth hormone regulation of hepatic drug-metabolising enzymes in humans and rats

    Author : Eva Rasmussen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; growth hormone; IGF-I; somatostatin; cytochrome P450; regulation; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; klinisk farmakologi; Clinical Pharmacology;

    Abstract : There are pronounced sex-differences in the gene expression of several liver enzymes in the rat. The sex-differentiated secretion of growth hormone (GH) regulates these differences. We wanted to further investigate the mechanisms of this regulation in rats and to study the GH regulation of drug metabolism in man. READ MORE

  5. 3. Therapy of neuroendocrine tumors with 177Lu-octreotate - Human tumor cell types and models and optimization of treatment : Terapi av neuroendokrina tumörer med 177Lu-octreotate

    Author : Johanna Dalmo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; somatostatin; radionuclide therapy; receptor up-regulation; RBP; nephrotoxicity;

    Abstract : Neuroendocrine (NE) tumors (NET) have often metastasized at the time of diagnose, which makes it hard to cure patients with NET. Radiolabeled hormone analogues (especially somatostatin analogues, SS) can be used for diagnostics (e.g. 111In-octreotide) and therapy (e. READ MORE
