(1999-12-27)
of the two pathogens.
Clinical findings at presentation in some of our visceral leishmaniasis (VL)-HIV co-infected patients were atypical (i.e. absence of organomegaly) with high parasite load, severe immunosuppression (low CD4/CD8 ratio) and frequent...

Human ovarian follicles and oocytes : collection, cryopreservation, culture and gene expression
(2005-03-18)
messengers, cGMP and cAMP, on human ovarian follicles cultured in ovarian cortical slices. Donated ovarian cortical biopsies from healthy women were cut into slices and cultured in parallel in the presence and absence of 8-br-cGMP or 8-br-cAMP for 1-3 weeks...
Significance of adipose tissue characteristics for development of metabolic complications in obesity
(2014-11-14)
Background: Obesity is closely related to development of insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Intrinsic properties of adipose tissue are also of great importance for obesity related comorbidity. The aim of this thesis was ...
