Diet, genetic susceptibility, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, type 1 and type 2 diabetes
(2024-05-03)
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases, yet our understanding of modifiable risk factors remains incomplete. This project aimed to elucidate the role of diet in the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults ...
Cardiovascular disease prevention after spinal cord injury : a new challenge
(2010-05-07)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) typically leads to permanent infralesional motor
and sensory functional losses, pathophysiological aberrations in most
organ systems and a lasting vulnerability for a variety of complicating
conditions. ...
Innate immunity in the immunopathogenesis of chronic viral infection
(2016-01-27)
Natural killer (NK) cells have a key role in control and clearance of viral infections. To carry
out this function NK cells are capable of recognising infected cells and responding with
induction of apoptosis in these ...
On genetics and transcriptomics of multiple sclerosis
(2009-01-30)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, where both genetic and environmental factors influence one individual's risk of developing the disease. This thesis is focused on ...
The GH/IGF-1 system during surgery and catabolism : focus on metabolism and heart function
(2007-11-16)
GH plays a role in both anabolism and catabolism. The anabolic properties
of GH are mediated by circulating (endocrine) and locally secreted
(paracrine) IGF-1. It is thus the IGF-1 response after increased GH
secretion ...
