This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a key lipogenic enzyme catalyzing the terminal steps in the synthesis of fatty acids. In the majority of normal tissues, FAS expression is low. In many human cancers, however, including cancer of the prostate, FAS expression and FAS activity are very high. As shown in the laboratory, overexpression of FAS in tumor cells is part of a more general and coordinate upregulation of multiple lipogenic genes caused, at least in part, by activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), transcription factors that play a key rol

This is a Ph.D. dissertation. The aim of this thesis was to understand the role of 1,25(OH)2D3 and other steroid hormones in the regulation of active duodenal calcium absorption. To achieve this aim, the authors analyzed active duodenal calcium absorption at molecular and functional level. Contents include: Introduction: Calcium, The vitamin D endocrine system, Calcium (re)absorption, Active calcium absorption, vitamin D independent mechanisms; Aims and Scope of the study; Vitamin D dependent active duodenal calcium absorption; Active calcium absorption throughout the female reproductive cycle
