Hormones and breast cancer : aspects on receptor expression and metabolism
(2006-02-17)
the epithelial breast cell response to sex steroid hormones. We found a remarkable difference in stromal staining for Syndecan-1 between normal and malignant breast tissue. Redistribution of this heparan sulphate proteoglycan from the epithelium and the dramatic...
Calcium dynamics and vesicle-release proteins in a prion-infected neuronal cell line
(2005-03-25)
dysfunction in prion diseases. For this purpose I used an immortalized gonadotropin-releasing neuronal cell line (GT1-1) that is susceptible to a mouse-adapted scrapie strain. This cell line represents a suitable system for my studies since the cells possess...
Diabetes, physical activity and endometrial cancer
(2006-11-22)
cancer, we identified 16 studies (3 cohort and 13 case-control studies), and found that diabetes was statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer incidence, (summary RR = 2.10 95% CI= 1.75-2.53). Analysis of 2...
Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in skeletal muscle during and after contraction
(2006-11-03)
It is well known that exercise increases glucose transport into skeletal muscles. The regulation of this transport, however, is poorly understood. An increased understanding of the mechanisms underlying glucose transport ...
Physical fitness and overweight in Swedish youths
(2005-03-22)
obese. The total prevalence accordingly being 20.1% (95% CI: 18.3% to 22.0%). This sample proved to be heterogeneous concerning overweight status. When obesity and overweight were combined the highest prevalence (26.6%, 95% CI: 21.2 to 32.7) was found...
Mental and physical health among first-generation and second-generation immigrants in Sweden
(2006-09-11)
hospitalized for mental disorders than the Swedish majority population after adjustment for socioeconomic status (study 1 ). To study whether the increased risk of being hospitalized for psychotic disorders among certain immigrant groups is present among second...
Oral mucosal lesions, tobacco use and the long-term outcome in a Swedish population
(2006-11-10)
to the health and population-based registers. Cancer had been notified to the cancer register for 1,575 of the subjects (only initial notification of cancer detected after day of entry into the study was included); 3,630 had died during the follow-up time...
Environmental factors and p53 mutation spectrum in lung cancer
(2006-05-19)
those exposed during the early years of operations, when emissions were high, and for less than 20 years, odds ratio (OR) 2.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.9-7.1, compared to unexposed. In total, we detected 103 mutations in 99 lung tumors (mutation...
The role of angiomotin in endothelial cell motility and cell-cell junction formation
(2005-08-26)
that angiomotin belongs to a novel protein family with two additional members in human; angiomotin like 1 and angiomotin like 2. The protein family is characterized by a highly conserved coiled-coil motif, a C-terminal putative PDZ binding motif and an N...
Effects of mifepristone on the human endometrium and the fallopian tube during the luteal phase
(2005-05-19)
. In the endometrium endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression was attenuated in the glandular epithelium, in contrast to endothelial eNOS, which was not changed. The expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) was significantly...
