  1. 6. The B lymphocyte in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Författare :Inger Gjertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Staphylococcus aureus; mice; arthritis; sepsis; B cells; Fcg receptors; CD22; ; IL-4; IL-10; IFN-g.;

    Sammanfattning : Joint infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus leads to heavy synovitis and rapid destruction of bone and cartilage. Permanent loss of joint function is seen in 20-50% of the patients, despite early eradication of the bacteria with antibiotics. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Effects of growth hormone on bone tissue in transgenic mice

    Författare :Jonas Sandstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Growth hormone; bone; ovariectomy; orchidectomy; growth; Interleukin-6; titanium; transgenic mice;

    Sammanfattning : Growth hormone (GH) affect bone-tissue in both humans and rodents. Also sex steroids are important for growth and the maintenance of normal bone physiology. The specific aims of this study were to investigate how high levels of GH affects bone tissue in mice and to determine whether these effects are dependent on an intact gonadal function. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Effects of Interleukin-4 and Interleukin-13 on Bone

    Författare :Carl-Johan Silfverswärd; Olle Nilsson; Östen Ljunggren; Kenneth Jonsson; Li Felländer-Tsai; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; Bone; Osteoblasts; Interleukin-4; Interleukin-13; Knockout; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Cytokines play important roles in bone metabolism, participating in the complex interplay necessary for normal bone formation and turnover. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the effects of two anti-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) on bone. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Dietary, Pharmacological and Environmental Effects on Brown Adipose Tissue

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Obesity; brown adipose tissue; uncoupling protein 1; moderate cold exposure; calorimetry; thyroxine; dietary protein; thermic effect of food; diet-induced thermogenesis; adrenergic stimulation; mice; physiology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is a common health issue; over 12 % of the adult world population have obesity. Obesity has many co-morbidities including cardo-vascular diseases and diabetes. Obesity is the result of chronic positive energy balance, eating too much and expending too little. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Investigating the function of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase

    Författare :Emma Vernersson Lindahl; Bengt Hallberg; Ruth Palmer; Göran Roos; Carina Hellberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALK; nervous system; knockout; development; Jelly-Belly; Pathology; Patologi;

    Sammanfattning : Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) was discovered in 1994, as a chromosomal translocation, t(2;5)(p23;q35), often seen in Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphomas (ALCL). Since then ALK has been extensively studied in this disease as well as in different model organisms. LÄS MER
