  1. 1. Macrophages in Crohn's Disease: lnnate immune cellular and molecular mechanisms driving intestinal inflammation and fibrosis

    Författare :Frida Gorreja; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; macrophages; inflammatory macrophages; tissue-resident macrophages; efferocytosis; innate immunity; myeloid cells; fibroblasts; fibrosis; inflammasomes; Crohn´s disease; inflammatory bowel diseases; digestive diseases; mucosa immunology; intestinal immunity; intestinal inflammation; serum systemic inflammation; microbiota; metabolites;

    Sammanfattning : Macrophages and their interactions with the lamina propria and luminal microenvi-ronment are crucial in the pathogenesis of Crohn´s disease (CD), a chronic inflamma-tory disease with a strong inflammatory innate immune involvement. Therefore, in-terpreting macrophage activity in the intestinal microenvironment may identify treatment targets beneficial for at least a subgroup of patients. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Chronic stress and intestinal barrier function: Implications for infection and inflammation in intensive salmon aquaculture

    Författare :Henrik Sundh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Intestinal barrier function; stress; cortisol; Ussing chamber; welfare; health; inflammation; neutrophils; cytokines; chronic stress;

    Sammanfattning : Aquaculture is a fast growing food-producing sector worldwide. This has increased the awareness among the public as well as governments of the need to secure the welfare and health of farmed fish. Atlantic salmon is, in non-Asian countries, one of the most successful aquacultured species. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Endogenous and microbial modulators of inflammation

    Författare :Jamie D. Kraft; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inflammation; Resolution; Specialized pro-resolving mediators; Lipoxins; Neutrophils; Cardiometabolic disease; Next-generation probiotic; Oxygen-tolerance; Faecalibacterium prausnitzii; Desulfovibrio piger; Inter-strain variation;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiometabolic disease is characterized by dysregulated, chronic inflammation, that may result from impaired resolution pathways or alterations in the gut microbiota. Thus, restoring specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) or intestinal bacteria with immunomodulatory properties represent potential therapeutic strategies for patients. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Intestinal permeability : a parameter of mucosal dysfunction

    Författare :Pål Lundin; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Peptide; N-acetylcysteine; Medium-chain glyceride; Mannitol; Macromolecules; Lipid; Kinetics; In vivo; In vitro; In situ; Intestine; Injury; Inflammation; HLA-B27; HCl; Epithelium; Enhancer; dDAVP; 51Cr-EDTA; BSA; Absorption; Albumin; Permeability; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal tract has two opposing functions; to absorb nutrients and electrolytes, and to act as a barrier towards hazardous and non-nutritional substances. In the present thesis the barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract was studied in animal models in vivo, in situ and in vitro. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Experimental Disruption of Intestinal Mucosal Homeostasis : Exploring the Protective Potential of Melatonin and Misoprostol

    Författare :Karsten Peters; Markus Sjöblom; Hans Lennernäs; David Dahlgren; Åsa Keita; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intestinal barrier dysfunction; intestinal permeability; chemotherapy-induced mucositis; doxorubicin; 5-fluorouracil; apoptosis; proliferation; melatonin; misoprostol; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : The intestinal mucosa serves as a protective layer that separates the intestinal contents from the underlying tissues. It restricts harmful substances, pathogens, and undigested particles from entering the bloodstream. LÄS MER
