Genetics of androgen disposition : implications for doping tests
(2007-11-02)
Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are derivatives of testosterone.
Doping with AAS is a severe challenge to the vision, moral and ethics in
sports and has also become an increasing problem in society.
Testosterone ...
PTPs : redox controlled regulators of cell signaling and transformation
(2011-05-06)
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important redox regulated enzymes that control the tyrosine phosphorylation status in the cell. These studies aimed to increase the understanding on how PTPs are controlled by ...
Cytokine-modulated dendritic cell immunotherapy in autoimmune diseases
(2005-01-14)
Autoimmunity is the result of failure of self-tolerance processes. When the immune system fails to differentiate self from foreign, the effector mechanisms are directed towards the individual s own tissues, and pathological ...
Episodic memory in the human prefrontal cortex
(2007-03-02)
This thesis consisting of five papers examines the relationship between haemodynamic activation in the prefrontal cortex with episodic memory function in the healthy human brain. Brain function is measured with positron ...
Mammalian thioredoxin reductase 1 in antioxidant defense, regulation of adipocyte differentiation and as an anticancer drug target
(2015-08-03)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are oxygen containing reactive molecules generated as by-products of
cellular metabolism. At physiological concentrations, ROS acts as secondary messengers in cellular
signaling transduction, ...
Characterization of thioredoxin related protein of 14 kDa and its role in redox signaling
(2016-02-22)
Reversible reduction/oxidation (redox) reactions play key roles in cellular signaling pathways.
Particularly cysteine residues in proteins can be modified by reactive oxygen-, nitrogen- or sulfur
species (ROS, RNS, RSS), ...
