Cytochrome P450 2C9 polymorphism : interindividual differences in drug metabolism and phenotyping methodology
(2002-01-25)
enzyme variant originates from the CYP2C9*1 allele, whereas CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 code for enzymes with amino acid substitutions R144C and 1359L, respectively. There is accumulating evidence that this genetic polymorphism give rise to clinically important...
Health and quality of life during years at university : studies on their development and determinants
(2004-03-26)
Transition into and life at university represent a critical period in the formation of the life-pathways of many young adults. The aim of this thesis is to increase knowledge about the health status and quality of life of ...
New micromanipulative techniques in reproductive biology
(2003-05-07)
New micro manipulative techniques have facilitated development to help patients who suffer from infertility and spontaneous abortion, as well as those who carry severe genetic diseases and have risks of delivering an ...
Diabetic osteopathy : a study in the rat
(2012-03-09)
The present study on non-obese Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats with type-2 diabetes and neuropathy was an attempt to describe and define pertinent features of diabetic osteopathy. Altogether, the study included 33 GK rats aged 12 ...
Temporomandibular joint involvement by systemic inflammatory disease with reference to pain modulation and joint tissue destruction
(2003-11-07)
Systemic inflammatory diseases may cause progressive destruction in the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ). Involvement of this joint is associated with many clinical signs and symptoms of which pain is a major problem. This ...
Circulating immune complexes in atherosclerotic vascular disease
(2001-08-31)
We have investigated the association of the humoral immune factors
circulating immune complexes (CICs) and autoantibodies against
cardiolipin (aCL) and oxidatively modified LDL (oxLDL) to atherosclerotic
vascular diseases.
In ...

(2001-11-02)
The transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) superfamily of polypeptide
growth factors encompasses more than 30 diverse mammalian members. They
are involved in most cellular processes, ranging from cell proliferation
and ...
The human placenta : an angiographic study
(2003-04-25)
The arterial vessels from the umbilical cord spreading over the chorion and its cotyledonary branches constitute the main body of the placental vascular tree. In the present study it was visualized by angiography and related ...
Resistance mechanisms for nucleoside analogues : with focus on metabolism and apoptosis
(2002-11-01)
The aim of the thesis was to elucidate the mechanisms underlying resistance to nucleoside analogues used in the treatment of leukemias, with focus on cellular metabolism and induction of apoptosis. Cladribine (CdA), ...
Functional characterization of the alternative reading frame protein p14ARF
(2004-05-06)
in most malignant human tumors. Most intriguingly, both p53 and Rb proteins are in part regulated through the CDKN2A (INK4a/ARF) locus on human chromosome 9p21, a region frequently lost in tumors. This region encodes two structurally and functionally...
