Analytical and pharmacological studies of cyclophosphamide
(2008-03-17)
-liquid extraction (LLE) and analyzed using liquid chromatography with UV detection (LC-UV). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.005 μg/mL and the limit of quantification was 0.5 μg/mL for LC-MS/MS. The accuracy of the quality control (QC) samples ranged from 91...
Molecular dynamics simulations of RNA bulges, loops and base flipping
(2008-01-11)
RNA molecules have several important functions in a cell. They carry the genetic information from DNA to protein, act as catalysts and regulate gene expression. Both DNA and RNA consist of nucleotides, DNA molecules are ...

effect on physical functioning, and also consequences such as depression
and aphasia, are likely to affect not only the life of the patient, but
also the ...
Studies of ischemia and reperfusion in muscle and liver on glutathione and amino acid metabolism in man
(2007-11-23)
Oxidative stress increases the formation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS), which can induce damage and breakdown of enzymes and lipoproteins.
This leads to impaired cellular function and ultimately to death of cells
and ...

(2007-11-16)
Alcohol use and abuse is a major social and economic problem in many
societies. Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is a widely used and
highly specific biochemical alcohol marker of prolonged alcohol abuse.

Autocrine and paracrine regulation of Leydig cell survival in the postnatal testis
(2007-09-07)
The primary function of testicular Leydig cells is the production of androgens that promote sexual differentiation in the fetus, secondary sexual maturation at the. time of puberty, and spermatogenesis in the adult. ...
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 ...
