1. Drug metabolic capacity in Koreans : CYP2D6 & CYP2C19 pheno- and genotype relationships in healthy volunteers and in patients
Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to investigate the relationship between pheno- and genotype of two drugmetabolizing enzymes CYP2D6 and CYYP2C19 in Koreans. Population studies were conducted in healthy volunteers to obtain basic information on these two enzymes. LÄS MER
2. Divergence, selection, demographic history and conservation genomics of sibling bird species in boreal forest in Northern Eurasia and the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Sammanfattning : I used two pairs of sibling boreal forest bird species to study divergence, selection, demographics, and conservation in northern Eurasia and the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau at the microsatellite level (chapter 1) and whole genome level (chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5). In chapter 1, which is the first study to describe genetic diversity of the Sichuan Jay, I used microsatellite markers to estimate genetic differentiation in Sichuan Jay and Siberian Jay populations.

3. Studies on cellular vitamin A metabolism and effects of UV irridation in human keratinocytes and melanocytes
Sammanfattning : Reinoids (vitamin A and its derivatives) are modulators of proliferation and differentiation in a variety of cell types, including epidermal cells. Both retinol (ROH) and its metabolite 3,4-didehydroretinol (ddROH) can be converted to the acid form retinoic acid (RA) and 3,4-didehydroretinoic acid (ddRA), ligands for the nuclear receptors inducing gene transcriptions.

4. Vitamin A and ß-carotene metabolism and effects of UV irradiation in human keratinocytes and melanocytes
Sammanfattning : Retinoids (vitamin A and its derivatives) are modulators of proliferation and differentiation. Both retinol (ROH) and its metabolite 3,4-didehydroretinol (ddROH) can be converted to retinoic acid (RA) and 3,4-didehydroretinoic acid (ddRA), ligands for the nuclear receptors, which induce gene transcriptions.

5. Bolivian creole cattle: population structure, genetic diversity and management practices
Sammanfattning : Characterization studies of local livestock breeds are important to identify their potential and value for the Global Animal Genetic Resources. Important traits have been attributed to local breeds including adaptability and resilience to harsh environments and other traits with potential use in breeding schemes oriented towards the challenges of climate change.
