    Keywords : Risk factors; General population; Physical activity; Sex hormones; Cholesterol; Stroke; Fracture;

    Abstract : Introduction: Fractures and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a burden to society, as they result in high morbidity and mortality in both men and women. Aim: The aim was to study prospectively modifiable risk factors for fractures in the general population and to possibly identify a link between metabolic bone disease and CVD. READ MORE

  4. 2. Challenges in experimental stroke research : The 17β-estradiol example

    Author : Edvin Ingberg; Jakob Ström; Elvar Theodorsson; Annette Theodorsson; Tomas Deierborg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Ischemic stroke causes millions of deaths around the world each year, and surviving patients often suffer from long-term disability. Hundreds of promising drug candidates have been identified in animal models, but the clinical trials have repeatedly failed. Lack of methodological quality in the animal studies, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Endogenous sex hormones and cardiometabolic risk factors – population-based studies within the Skaraborg Project

    Author : Kristin Ottarsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sex hormones; sex hormone binding globulin; cardiometabolic risk factors; insulin resistance; post-menopause; cardiovascular diseases;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are the major contributors to mortality in Sweden and globally. Men have a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases compared to women, until women reach the menopause. Levels of sex hormones might explain these sex differences beyond known differences in risk factors. READ MORE

    Abstract : Stroke is a severe cerebrovascular disease in which the neuronal tissue and vasculature of the brain undergo ischemia-evoked alterations. We have demonstrated an increased expression of cerebrovascular contractile receptors in the brain. This is hypothesized to mitigate cerebral blood flow and exacerbate tissue damage after stroke.
