Neurogenesis, neural stem cells and nitric oxide in neuroinflammation
(2005-09-23)
We investigated whether nitric oxide (NO) is produced in MS patients, determining the concentrations of its oxidation products (NOx) in CSF. The total levels of NOx in CSF were significantly increased in all MS groups as ...
Synthesis and evaluation of new PET radioloigands for imaging central norepinephrine transporters
(2006-04-28)
The noradrenergic (NE), serotonergic (5-HT) and dopaminergic (DA) neurotransmission systems all have specific proteins responsible for the regulation of synaptic concentrations of neurotransmitter in the central nervous ...
Study of serotonin, innervation and sensory neuropeptides in allergic contact dermatitis
(2005-08-17)
In a murine model of contact allergy, 24 h after challenge with antigen, increased axonal growth using an antibody to growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) was seen in the epidermis and dermis of eczematous skin. Protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9...
Bad breath : prevalence, periodontal disease, microflora and inflammatory markers
(2005-03-29)
)] and 841 woman [mean age = 35.7 years (±2.9 SD)] who participated in an epidemiological study of periodontal health that was started in 1985, 2.4 % were found to exhibit foetor ex ore and 1 % were diagnosed as having halitophobia. Subjects with both...
Unstimulated human whole saliva flow rate in relation to hyposalivation and dental caries
(2005-04-08)
Introduction: Salivary secretion is influenced by a large number of factors, including the circadian rhythm, making the detection of reduced salivary flow (hyposalivation) difficult. This is important since severely reduced ...
Platelets and eosinophils in lung tissue remodelling
(2006-08-25)
Tissue injury and inflammation followed by effective repair restores normal function, but defective repair with associated tissue remodelling and fibrosis can lead to loss of organ function. Thus, interactions between ...
Studies on alcoholic liver disease
(2006-11-17)
patients with alcohol dependence without cirrhosis. Women with alcoholic cirrhosis drank 14 009 drinks of alcohol during their lifetime compared to 45 658 drinks consumed by men with alcoholic cirrhosis. Women with alcoholic cirrhosis reported 9 198 drinks...
Formyl-coenzyme : a transferase, structure and enzymatic mechanism
(2004-08-20)
Background: Formyl-CoA transferase (Frc) is the first enzyme in a two
enzyme pathway responsible for oxalate degradation in Oxalobacter
formigenes. This bacterium is a constitutive part of human intestinal
flora. Its ...
Non-conventional risk and prognostic factors in coronary heart disease : studies on heart rate variability, alcohol consumption, inflammation and depression
(2005-04-01)
not relate to any of the HRV parameters (paper I). Concentration of IL-6 showed an inverse relation to HRV even after adjustment for potential confounding factors (paper II). HRV parameters predicted all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a 9-year follow...
Effects of gonadal hormone deficiency on bone mineral density : can physical activity increase bone mineral density in women?
(2006-08-11)
Osteoporosis with its associated fragility fractures is a global health care problem. The incidence of ftagility ftactures has increased dramatically the last 50 years. This has been suggested to at least in part be due ...
