Functional and molecular neuroimaging of menopause and hormone replacement therapy.
Functional and molecular neuroimaging of menopause and hormone replacement therapy. Front Neurosci. 2014;8:388 Authors: Comasco E, Frokjaer VG, Sundström-Poromaa I Abstract The level of gonadal hormones to which the female brain is exposed considerably changes across the menopausal transition, which in turn, is likely to be of great relevance for neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders.

Functional and molecular neuroimaging of menopause and hormone replacement therapy
Front Neurosci. 2014 Dec 8;8:388. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2014.00388. eCollection 2014. ABSTRACT The level of gonadal hormones to which the female brain is exposed considerably changes across the menopausal transition, which in turn, is likely to be of great relevance for neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. However, the neurobiological consequences of these hormone fluctuations and of hormone […]

The effect of storage conditions on salivary cortisol concentrations using an Enzyme Immunoassay. Scand J Clin Lab Invest. 2014 Dec 16;:1-4 Authors: Nalla AA, Thomsen G, Knudsen GM, Frokjaer VG Abstract Saliva samples are easy to collect and are applicable for home-sampling, e.g. when studying HPA-axis dynamics to characterize diurnal cortisol profiles and the cortisol […]

Familial risk for major depression is associated with lower striatal 5-HT₄ receptor binding
Int J Neuropsychopharmacol. 2014 Oct 31;18(1):pyu034. doi: 10.1093/ijnp/pyu034. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The 5-HT4 receptor provides a novel potential target for antidepressant treatment. No studies exist to elucidate the 5-HT4 receptor’s in vivo distribution in the depressed state or in populations that may display trait markers for major depression disorder (MDD). The aim of this study was […]

The effect of storage conditions on salivary cortisol concentrations using an enzyme immunoassay
Scand J Clin Lab Invest. 2015 Jan;75(1):92-5. doi: 10.3109/00365513.2014.985252. Epub 2014 Dec 16. ABSTRACT Saliva samples are easy to collect and are applicable for home-sampling, e.g. when studying HPA-axis dynamics to characterize diurnal cortisol profiles and the cortisol awakening response. However, the storing and transport conditions might be critical in the home-sampling approach. Here, we […]
