(2001-10-26)
The aims of this thesis were to analyze the incidence and risk of second primary malignancies (SPM) in a Swedish cohort of gynecological cancer patients, to explore suggested risk factors associated with second primary ...
Genetic polymorphism of human drug metabolising enzymes : structural and functional studies
(1999-11-12)
such as nicotine and precarcinogens. In the present investigation the molecular genetic basis for some of the differences in the CYP2A6, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and GSTM1 enzymes have been elucidated.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) exhibits a marked interindividual...

(2015-03-27)
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), inflammation and malnutrition are harmful and highly prevalent conditions with influence on the atherosclerotic process and outcome. The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) ...
Regulation of protein synthesis in human skeletal muscle : separate and combined effects of exercise and amino acids
(2014-05-22)
, as assessed by S6K1 phosphorylation, in both resting and exercising muscle, but more so when exercise and BCAA were combined. In study II, the effect of leucinewas compared to that of essential amino acids with or without leucine. It was found that when...

(2007-05-18)
Objective: To examine the association between sociodemographic factors and first birth country of birth and hospitalization for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy (EP), infertility trends in Sweden during ...
Physiological effects of apnoeic oxygenation using high-flow nasal oxygen
(2022-04-05)
In anaesthetic practice, the inability to oxygenate and ventilate patients is a much-feared complication with risk for severe hypoxia-induced adverse outcomes. By administrating oxygen in the absence of spontaneous ...
Exercise strategies to improve aerobic capacity, insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial biogenesis
(2014-10-15)
Regular exercise plays a key role in the maintenance of health and physical capabilities. Extensive research shows that exercise is an efficient method to prevent diabetes. Both resistance and aerobic exercise training are ...
