  1. 1. Low-Density Lipoprotein Oxidation and Renal Dysfunction : New Markers of Poor Prognosis in Patients with Unstable Coronary Artery Disease

    Författare :Nina Johnston; Lars Wallentin; Tomas Jernberg; Agneta Siegbahn; Lena Jonasson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; myocardial infarction; unstable angina; oxidized low-density lipoprotein; renal function; prognosis; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : In patients with unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) biochemical markers are emerging as useful tools in clinical management. In this thesis we studied the use of markers of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and renal function. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of growth hormone on cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis

    Författare :Maria Leonsson Zachrisson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :growth hormone; pituitary deficiency; dietary fat; cholesterol; low density; lipoprotein; intima-media thickness; IL-6; CRP; TNF-á;

    Sammanfattning : Hypopituitary patients with growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) have increasedmorbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). GH treatment has both beneficialand potentially negative cardiovascular effects. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cellular immune responses to low density lipoprotein in atherosclerosis

    Författare :Andreas Hermansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the medium and large sized arterial vessels. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles carrying cholesterol are trapped within the arterial intima and elicit both innate as well as adaptive immune responses. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mechanisms for and consequences of cellular lipid accumulation - Role of the Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor

    Författare :Jeanna Perman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :very low density lipoprotein receptor; lipid accumulation;

    Sammanfattning : Lipid accumulation in non adipose tissue is associated with various cases of tissue dysfunction and tissue failure. Reduced availability of oxygen is known to cause intracellular lipid accumulation in cardiomyocytes as well as in hearts. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) heterogeneity : implications for cardiovascular disease and genetic influence

    Författare :Camilla Skoglund Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Low density lipoprotein; gradient gel electrophoresis; intima-media thickness; atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; low density lipoprotein oxidation; cholesteryl ester transfer protein; lipoprotein lipase; hepatic lipase; apolipoprotein E; apolipoprotein B; microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; genetics; lipoproteins; metabolism;

    Sammanfattning : The low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle population is heterogeneous with regard to several structural and functional properties that may influence its atherogenic potential. A preponderance of small, dense LDL is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), and also predicts future CHD events. LÄS MER
