  1. 1. Alpha-1-microglobulin: Innate defence against pathological oxidation

    Författare :Magnus Gram; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-1-microglobulin; pathological oxidation; hemoglobin; heme; radiation; oxidation; ROS; hemoglobin and heme antagonist; radical scavenger;

    Sammanfattning : Oxidative stress has been implicated as an important factor in the progression of many diseases. An imbalance in the redox-system may cause oxidation of cells and molecules, which might subsequently lead to tissue damage. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Structure and distribution of alpha-1-microglobulin proteins

    Författare :Tord Berggård; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteins; lysine; chromophore; placenta; immunohistochemistry; albumin; prothrombin; plasma; bikunin; lipocalin; alpha-1-microglobulin; protein HC; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes studies of the structure and tissue distribution of alpha-1-microglobulin (a1-m), a member of the lipocalin protein superfamily with immunosuppressive properies. It was shown that a1-m appears in human plasma in five major forms. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Alpha-1-microglobulin, heme-binding protein, reductase and antioxidant

    Författare :Maria Allhorn; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reduction; inflammation; chronic ulcers; collagen; low density lipoproteins; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; antioxidation; heme; hemoglobin; alpha-1-microglobulin; lipocalin;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes structural and functional studies of alpha-1-microglobulin (a1m), a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein that is evolutionarily well-conserved and belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. The lipocalins are polypeptides of 160-190-amino acids that are folded into an 8-stranded beta-barrel forming a pocket with a hydrophobic interior. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Urinary Clara cell protein and alpha 1-microglobulin – biomarkers of changes in kidney and airway function

    Författare :Lena Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :biomarker; Clara cell 16 kDa protein CC16 ; alpha 1-microglobulin A1M ; ambient air pollution; renal function; pyelonephritis; children;

    Sammanfattning : Validated biomarkers are useful tools for screening large populations. The benefit of screening may be improved risk assessment or early indications of adverse effects before detection or onset of symptoms. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Therapeutic opportunities of alpha-1-microglobulin A study in placenta, blood, skin and eye

    Författare :Martin Cederlund; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reactive oxygen species; hemoglobin; myeloperoxidase; oxidative stress; α1-microglobulin;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes functional studies of the human protein alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M), with the aim of exploring its usefulness as a therapeutic agent in diseases where oxidative stress is a prominent feature. A1M is a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein with reductase activity and radical- and heme-binding antioxidative functions. LÄS MER
