Studies on natural antisense RNAs and microRNAs
(2007-11-27)
Regulatory RNAs are found in all kingdoms of life and involved in
regulation of gene expression at various steps including RNA splicing,
editing, stability, modification, export, translation and chromatin
remodelling. ...
Physical activity in the severely obese : studies on measurement and promotion
(2007-03-26)
Background: The amount and quality of evidence on how to effectively
promote physical activity (PA) is low compared to what is known about the
health effects of regular PA, especially in obese individuals.
Aim : ...
Microfluidic electrocapture in proteomic sample preparation for mass spectrometry
(2007-10-19)
Proteomics is a technology-driven discipline and very labor-intensive.
Over the last couple of years, methods with microfluidic systems have
been used to simplify analytical procedures via integration of laboratory
processes ...
PET evaluation of central serotonergic neurotransmission in women
(2008-02-08)
The serotonin (5-HT) system is of central interest in the patophysiology and treatment of several psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety and suicide. In women, functioning of the 5-HT system is of particular importance since they have...
Prospective cohort studies of disability pension and mortality in a Swedish county
(2007-09-04)
The overall aim of this thesis was to study risk factors for disability
pension, focusing on sociodemographic risk factors and sick-leave
diagnoses, and also to investigate the risk of mortality among disability
pension ...
Chemokines and chemokine receptors during viral infections in man
(2007-11-08)
from HIV-1 infected subjects. In paper II and III, tonsillar B cells were infected with EBV and the expression of CXCR4, CXCR5 and CCR7 was followed over time. Already two days after infection, a decrease of surface CXCR4, CXCR5 and CCR7 was detected...
Ultrasound, ions and combined modalities for increased local tumour cell death in radiation therapy
(2007-05-03)
In this thesis, new approaches to improve tumour therapy for patients with inoperable, radiation- and chemoresistant tumours were in focus. Ultrasound and ionising radiation, especially accelerated ions, are both non-invasive ...
Studies on human sterol 27-hydroxylase with emphasis on its mechanism of regulation and metabolic consequences of a deficient enzyme
(2007-05-11)
Sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) is a mitochondrial cytochrome P-450
enzyme present in most animal cells. In hepatocytes, CYP27A1 has an
important role in connection with biosynthesis of bile acids from
cholesterol. In ...
Icodextrin metabolism in peritoneal dialysis : clinical and experimental studies
(2007-10-19)
Icodextrin is a glucose polymer which is used as osmotic agent to provide
sustained ultrafiltration (UF) during the long (8-16 hours) dwell in
end-stage renal disease patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The
aims ...
Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase in the immune and nervous system : distribution and pathophysiological implications
(2007-11-16)
Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) belongs to the family of
purple acid phosphatases (PAP). It is a glycoprotein synthesized as a
monomer with low enzyme activity containing a redox active diiron centre
in the ...
