  1. 1. Microbial modulation of metabolic diseases

    Författare :Antonio Molinaro; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Nyckelord :Microbiota; Glucose Metabolism; type 2 diabetes; NAFLD; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease;

    Sammanfattning : The gut microbiota, the ensemble of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract, and the host have a mutualist relationship. Alterations of this delicate equilibrium can lead to changes in microbiota composition and/or function leading to the onset of metabolic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases).

  3. 2. Electrochemical and Enzymatic In Vitro Studies on Reactive Drug Metabolites. Synthesis, Characterization and Avoidance

    Författare :Tove Johansson Mali´n; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Nyckelord :Cytochrome P450; Drug; Electrochemical oxidation; Electrochemistry; Intermediate; Metabolism; Metabolic activation; Mimicry; Reactive Metabolite; Trapping.;

    Sammanfattning : During development of pharmaceuticals, it is essential to as early as possible identify and preferably avoid formation of reactive metabolites and intermediates. Reactive metabolites may represent obstacles in the development and use of drugs, due to their potential toxicity. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Clinical studies in severe heart failure : neurohormonal, electrolyte and metabolic aspects

    Författare :Mats Broqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure is a common and complex syndrome with a poor prognosis. Although heart disease is usually the primary event, the clinical syndrome is characterised by several extra-cardiac manifestations. Neurohormonal activation seems to play a crucial role for these manifestations and the progression of the disease. LÄS MER

  5. 4. In Vitro Studies of Adrenocorticolytic DDT Metabolites, with Special Focus on 3-methylsulfonyl-DDE

    Författare :Vendela Asp; Ingvar Brandt; Ulrika Bergström; Olle Söder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Toxicity; 3-methylsulfonyl-DDE; CYP; adrenal cortex; metabolic activation; steroid hormones; Y-1; H295R; mitotane; adrenocortical carcinoma; Toxicology; Toxikologi; Biologi med inriktning mot ekotoxikologi; Biology with specialization in Environmental Toxicology;

    Sammanfattning : The DDT metabolite 3-methylsulfonyl-DDE (3-MeSO2-DDE) is bioactivated by cytochrome P450 11B1 (CYP11B1) in the adrenal cortex of mice and forms irreversibly bound protein adducts, reduces glucocorticoid secretion, and induces cell death selectively in cortisol-producing adrenocortical cells. 3-MeSO2-DDE has therefore been proposed as a lead compound for an improved adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) therapy.

  7. 5. Adapt, Survive or Die - Metabolic Imbalances and the Enteric Nervous System

    Författare :Ulrikke Voss; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; enteric nervous system; high fat diet; neuropathy; neuroplasticity; metabolic imbalance;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract: In this thesis the questions “do enteric neurons adapt to survive in conditions of obesity/type 2-diabetes (T2D) related metabolic imbalances? Or do they die?” are asked. Obese and T2D patients have high rates of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. LÄS MER
