21. Periodontal disease and cognitive disorders
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis and tooth loss have been suggested to be putative aetiological risk factors for dementia and cognitive dysfunction. The identification of new dementia risk factors could lead to new preventive strategies for dementia. LÄS MER
22. Memory and knowledge in mild Alzheimer's disease
Sammanfattning : The general aim of the present doctoral thesis was to examine the potential ability of mild AD patients to utilize semantic knowledge in different forms to enhance episodic memory performance, as well as to investigate the ability to retrieve and monitor general knowledge in these patients. The study samples included mildly demented AD patients and control groups of normal older adults. LÄS MER
23. Search for reliable diagnostic markers for Alzheimer’s disease

The term vitamin E encompasses eight natural congeners (forms): four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, named α, β, γ, and δ. LÄS MER
25. Molecular Aspects of Transthyretin Amyloid Disease
Sammanfattning : This thesis was made to get a deeper understanding of how chaperones interact with unstable, aggregation prone, misfolded proteins involved in human disease. Over the last two decades, there has been much focus on misfolding diseases within the fields of biochemistry and molecular biotechnology research. LÄS MER
