Evaluation and Late-Stage Fluorination of Small Molecule GnRH-R Antagonists
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2019-05-15)Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia; causing problems with memory, thinking and behaviour. The seemingly protective effect of hormone replacement therapy against Alzheimer’s disease sparked an interest in the role of the sex hormone system. Sex steroid production is dependent on gonadotropins released in the pituitary. The gonadotropin level is controlled by gonadotropin releasing ... -
Evaluation by metabolic profiling and in vitro autoradiography of two promising GnRH‐receptor ligands for brain SPECT imaging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-18)The increased expression of gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRH‐R) in brain has been strongly linked to Alzheimer disease. Therefore, the development of radiolabeled imaging agents for GnRH‐R is relevant for early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. We have recently disclosed the discovery of two promising compounds displaying nanomolar‐range affinity for the GnRH‐R. In the present study, a ... -

Evaluation of absolute quantitation by nonlinear regression in probe-based real-time PCR
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-03-03)Background In real-time PCR data analysis, the cycle threshold (CT) method is currently the gold standard. This method is based on an assumption of equal PCR efficiency in all reactions, and precision may suffer if this condition is not met. Nonlinear regression analysis (NLR) or curve fitting has therefore been suggested as an alternative to the cycle threshold method for absolute quantitation. ... -
