  2. 16. Thyroid function and breast cancer. Risk and clinical outcome in relation to thyroid hormones (free T3/T4), TSH, TPO-Antibodies and genetic variants

    Author : Jasmine Brandt; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : Sköldkörtel; Thyroidea; Bröstcancer;

    Abstract : Thyroid hormone level has been positively associatedwith breast cancer cell proliferation andtumour growth in experimental studies. However,previous observational studies have been contradictoryon the relationship between thyroidfunction and breast cancer. Age is a known riskfactor for breast cancer but its role as a prognosticfactor is less clear. READ MORE

    Keywords : goitre; thyroid volume; ultrasonography; urinary iodine; TpoAb; TSH; iodine supplementation; radioiodine uptake; scintigraphy; XRF;

    Abstract : Iodine is essential in the synthesis of the vital hormones of the thyroid gland. On a worldwide basis, iodine deficiency is the global most important cause of thyroid disease. READ MORE

  5. 18. Programming of cardiovascular and metabolic functions by thyroid hormone signaling

    Author : Milica Uhde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thyroid Hormones (TH) regulate myriad processes, such as development, metabolism and cardiovascular functions, by controlling gene expression through binding to nuclear thyroid hormone receptors, TRα and TRβ.

  7. 20. LXR regulation of hepatic gene expression and pituitary dependent hormones

    Author : Pia Kotokorpi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Liver X receptor; growth hormone; gene regulation; metabolism; hepatocyte; hepatic steatosis; species differences;

    Abstract : The liver X receptors (LXRs) are ligand activated transcription factors involved in the regulation of metabolic genes. LXRs are considered potential drug targets to treat metabolic disorders, however, unwanted side effects, as revealed from rodent studies, include increased lipogenesis in the liver and increased plasma triglyceride levels.
