1. Childhood malignant disease and consequences for growth hormone secretion, intellectual function and cardiovascular risk
Sammanfattning : In childhood onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD) a reduction in cardiac left ventricular mass (LVMi) and impairment of cardiac systolic function, as well as in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been shown. In study I, we showed that a low dose of GH treatment for 10 months resulted in increased LVMi and kidney size. LÄS MER
2. Down syndrome : Growth and endocrine impact
Sammanfattning : Down syndrome (DS) is associated with psychomotor retardation, short stature and endocrine dysfunction. Statural growth is a well-known indicator of health. The growth in DS differs markedly from that of other children and there is a 20 cm reduction of final height as compared to target height. LÄS MER
3. Insulin-like growth factor-I from a perspective of bone regeneration
Sammanfattning : The insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is produced by osteoblasts and many other cell types. IGF-I is abundant in bone matrix and mediates some of the effects of growth hormone (GH). The present investigations have focused on IGF-I actions during bone regeneration. LÄS MER
4. Thermostable glycosidases and glycosynthases as biocatalysts in green chemistry applications
Sammanfattning : The constant need to develop environmental friendly processes using renewable raw materials and to reduce harmful waste production motivates the present investigation focusing on biocatalyst development for enzymatic synthesis, a biotechnological approach in the field of green chemistry. At first, structural functional experiments were made for a β-glucosidase from T. LÄS MER
5. β-Mannan degradation by gut bacteria - Characterization of β-mannanases from families GH5 and GH26
Sammanfattning : The human gut flora is important for our well-being. The gut bacteria are able to degrade and metabolize complex carbohydrates. Examples of such carbohydrates are β-mannans. β-Mannans consist of a backbone of β-1,4-linked mannose units and are present in e. LÄS MER
