(2004-11-17)
supplementation a significant increase of
the IGF-I values was observed at Day 4 as well as higher scores for
vigour. In the placebo group a significant decrease of tension-anxiety,
anger-hostility and confusion were found....
Studies on vascular remodeling in acute coronary artery disease
(2005-08-26)
Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease, characterized by endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, and lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. Unstable coronary syndroms may be initiated by rupture of the atherosclerotic ...
Studies on growth hormone induced female-characteristic gene transcription in rat liver
(2005-05-06)
of the transcription factors C/EBPalpha, Stat5, HNF4 and HN176. However, there is no evidence that these factors transduce the sex-specific expression of the gene.
We used the subtractive suppressive hybridization (SSH) technique to identify additional genes...
Ribavirin : dose and concentration in treatment of chronic hepatitis C infected patients
(2005-04-29)
Chronic hepatitis C infection is a global health problem with 170 million patients infected. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of end stage liver disease. Current antiviral treatment options available ...
Experimental therapeutic angiogenesis after myocardial infarction : efficacy of different angiogenic factors and delivery methods
(2006-03-17)
Angiogenesis, the stimulation of vessel growth, is a promising therapy in ischemic heart disease. A wealth of evidence has shown that several growth factors can induce neovascularization in ischemic models. However, the ...
A study on the TFIID subunit TAF4
(2005-01-14)
gene expression was enriched in the central nervous system and the expression pattern showed clear spatial and temporal variations. In addition, reporter assays using transient transfections of TAF4 in cell lines indicated that TAF4 could act as a...
Genetic and immunological control of human myasthenia gravis
(2005-09-23)
is in strong linkage with -318C/T and is more frequently present in MG patients with thymoma. MG patients carrying -318C showed significantly decreased expression of CTLA-4 mRNA in non-stimulated cells. In the present study, the relationship of the expression...
Prevention of complications in pediatric cataract surgery
(2004-11-26)
This thesis was performed to find ways to lessen the complications to pediatric cataract surgery, which is an increasingly safe procedure, also in infants. However, there are some complications to the surgery, which threatens ...
Risk factors for haematological malignancies : immune-mediated diseases, body mass index and magnetic fields
(2006-11-03)
Haematological malignancies constitute approximately 7% of all cancer cases in Sweden, and leukaemia is in fact the most common malignancy among children. The few established risk factors, such as ionising radiation and ...
Glutamatergic mechanisms in schizophrenia : role of endogenous kynurenic acid
(2005-11-18)
Kynurenic acid, a tryptohan metabolite synthesised in astrocytes, is an
endogenous antagonist at glutamate receptors, in particular it blocks the
glycine site of the (NMDA)-receptor, and at the a7* nicotinic receptor.
The ...
