1. The functional role of the MUC17-based glycocalyx
Sammanfattning : Our gastrointestinal tract harbors trillions of bacteria that are chemically and spatially separated from the intestinal epithelium. Maintaining an intact mucosal barrier is essential as increased bacterial contact is associated with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn´s disease. LÄS MER
2. Blood pressure-dependent changes in plasma volume, glycocalyx and platelet function during anaesthesia -Clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : Background: Worldwide, more than 300 million surgeries are performed each year. General anaesthesia provides the surgical patient with a state of controlled loss of sensation and awareness. It is common that general anaesthesia causes hypotension. Anaesthesia-induced hypotension is associated with haemodilution and increased plasma volume (PV). LÄS MER
3. Aspects of the glomerular barrier in healthy and diabetic kidneys
Sammanfattning : Each day 180 liters of plasma is filtered in the kidneys. Under normal conditions, the glomerular barrier restricts the passage of macromolecules such as albumin while it is highly permeable to water and small solutes. Proteinuria is a hallmark of renal disease and reflects impairment of the glomerular barrier. LÄS MER
4. Circulating proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans during critical illness
Sammanfattning : The endothelial glycocalyx is the carbohydrate rich inner layer of the blood vessels. Important components of the glycocalyx are the proteoglycans with their attached glycosaminoglycans. LÄS MER
5. Functional and molecular aspects of the glomerular barrier
Sammanfattning : The kidneys are crucial for maintaining a normal salt-water balance in the body, which is a prerequisite for life. They do that by filtering 180 liters of plasma per day across the highly permselective glomerular barrier and reabsorbing 99 % of the filtrate. LÄS MER
