A reason to be bitter : cassava classification from the farmers' perspective
(2001-11-16)
" cultivars 153 mg (Cl 143 - 163, range 22 -
661). Farmers' distinction of "bitter" and "cool" cultivars predicts
glucoside levels (r = 0.56). Taste scoring for bitterness by the taste
panel was strongly correlated (r = 0.87) with cyanogenic glucoside levels...
Exploratory clinical development of ropivacaine, a local anaesthetic, in ulcerative colitis
(2003-04-18)
.
Fluvoxamine (a CYP1A2 inhibitor), but not ketoconazole (a CYP3A4 inhibitor), significantly affected the clearance of ropivacaine after single iv administration. This study confirms the in vitro findings indicating CYP1A2 as the most important enzyme...
Physical activity in men and relation to prostate cancer
(2004-05-07)
hundred eleven men in central Sweden, aged 44-78, completed the questionnaire and one or two 7-day activity records used as the reference method. Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.56 between total daily activity score estimated from the first...
Methods for measurement of vocal fold vibration and viscoelasticity
(2009-05-08)
The overall aim of the thesis was to develop new methods for analysis of vocal fold vibrations and viscoelasticity and to test them in human subjects.
In Study I the onset of vibration and irregular vocal fold ...

Studies on HIV-2 antibody mediated neutralisation, coreceptor usage and in vivo tropism
(2001-11-21)
, knowledge of neutralising epitopes in the
HIV-2 envelope proteins is important. By peptide immunisation of guinea
pigs, the central and C-terminal part of the V3 region of HIV2 gp125 was
confirmed to be an important target for neutralising antibodies...
Temporomandibular joint involvement by systemic inflammatory disease with reference to pain modulation and joint tissue destruction
(2003-11-07)
study was to investigate if the 5-HT3 antagonist granisetron reduces TMJ pain. An intra-articular injection of granisetron (1mg) given in a randomized double-blind manner reduced the resting pain in the TMJ according to a visual analogue scale after 10...

Biocomputational studies on protein structures
(2002-08-16)
. Substrates tested ranged from steroids and bile acids to L- and D-hydroxyacyl CoA. Ligands with 17P or 3alpha hydroxy groups and L-hydroxyacyl CoA could achieve interactions favourable for catalysis at the active site. A crystallographically determined...
