Estrogen effects on different neurotransmitters in rat hippocampus : implications for cognitive function
(2004-11-12)
rats were used in this thesis as
a model to investigate the effect of ovarian hormones on the cholinergic
system, the glutamate system and insulin-like growth factors with
specific emphasis in the hippocampus. Using M4-toxin-1, a selective
ligand for M4...
Serodiagnosis and seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in Vietnam

(2006-01-20)
neurodegeneration in rats (1) global cerebral ischemia, and (2) administration of the excitotoxic amino acid kainic acid (KA), a commonly used model of human temporal lobe epilepsy. An important event in both of these models is excessive glutamate receptor...

(2005-11-04)
The human herpes virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is carried by
approximately 95% of the adult population. It can form a lifelong latent
infection in the B-cells by avoiding our immune system. A latent EBV
infection is ...
Regulation of gene transcription by the thyroid hormone receptors
(2006-05-26)
regulators of cell cycle progression. In Paper I, we identified a putative nTRE in the E2F-1 promoter and showed that TR bound directly to this nTRE. This nTRE was sufficient for TRs to mediate both hormone-independent activation and hormone...

The fibrinolytic enzyme system : new markers of potential interest in cardiovascular disease
(2005-12-30)
Impaired fibrinolytic function, mainly due to elevated plasma levels of PAI-1, is a common finding in patients with coronary heart disease. Determination or evaluation of the plasma PAI-1 concentrations are complicated, due to a natural variation...
