1. Drug and alcohol induced hepatotoxicity
Sammanfattning : Drug induced hepatotoxicity is the most common reason cited for withdrawal of already approved drugs from the market and accounts for more than 50 percent of cases of acute liver failure in the United States. Ethanol (EtOH) causes a further substantial amount of liver insufficiencies world wide. LÄS MER
2. Studies of drug safety in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting mainly smaller joints. Patients are at risk for complications as joint destruction, but starting treatment soon after onset of disease, has reduced the risk for complications. LÄS MER
3. Proteomics informed investigation of human hepatocytes and liver tissue
Sammanfattning : A successful drug needs to display beneficial absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADME-Tox) profile. It is therefore important to investigate these properties during the drug discovery process. LÄS MER
4. Proteomic and Functional Analysis of In Vitro Systems for Studies of Drug Disposition in the Human Small Intestine and Liver
Sammanfattning : To reach the bloodstream, an orally administered drug must be absorbed through the small intestine and avoid extensive clearance in the liver. Estimating these parameters in vitro is therefore important in drug discovery and development. LÄS MER
5. Studies on genetic hemochromatosis and the hepatotoxicity of iron
Sammanfattning : The aim of this study was to investigate the mutations and clinical expression of genetic hemochromatosis in patients and mechanisms involved in the hepatotoxicity of iron in animal and cell- culture models. In Swedish patients with a clinical diagnosis of genetic hemochromatosis, the C282Y mutation of the HFE gene was present in 94. LÄS MER
