  1. 1. Studies of receptors and modulatory mechanisms in functional responses to cysteinyl-leukotrienes in smooth muscle

    Författare :Magnus Bäck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cysteinyl-leukotrienes, i.e. leukotriene (LT) C4, D4 and E4, are inflammatory mediators and potent airway- and vasoconstrictors. Two different cysteinyl-leukotriene receptors have been cloned, CysLT, and CysLT2. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: The aim of the research reported in this thesis was to determine the association of novel and traditional risk factors with coronary artery calcium (CAC), a marker of subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) in healthy individuals. In addition, we investigated the effects of a vegetarian, compared to a meat diet, on novel and traditional risk factors in patients with diagnosed CAD. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Leukocyte-derived matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with coronary artery disease : Associations with psychological stress and glucocorticoid sensitivity

    Författare :Simon Jönsson; Lena Jonasson; Anna Lundberg; Magnus Bäck; Linköpings universitet; []
