  1. 1. The kallikrein-kinin system in primary hypertension : dynamics of circulating components of the kallikrein-kinin system in relation to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

    Författare :K. Peter Öhman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :aldosterone; angiotensin Il; blood pressure; human; prekallikrein; renin; tissue kallikrein; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Kinins are potent vasodilatory and blood pressure lowering peptides, with additional effects on renal handling of electrolytes and water. The kallikrein-kinin system consists of two separate entities, one confined to the circulation and the other to both tissues and the circulation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. MAPK and pro-inflammatory mediators in the walls of brain blood vessels following cerebral ischemia

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION Stroke is a serious neurological disease which may lead to death and severe disability [1, 2]. There are two major types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cardiovascular risk factors in renal artery stenosis : Effects of renal angioplasty and angiotensin II receptor antagonism

    Författare :Elzbieta Nowakowska-Fortuna; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammation; renovascular hypertension; endothelin 1; apolipoprtoein C-III; brain natriuretic peptides; angiotensin II receptor antagonism; renal angioplasty; atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis;

    Sammanfattning : Renovascular hypertension (RVH) caused by atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is one of the most common forms of secondary hypertension. The prognosis for patients with RVH is much worse compared to patients with primary hypertension, and caused by a high cardiovascular morbidity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Effects of prenatal IL-6 exposure and hyperinsulinemia on neuroendocrine regulation

    Författare :Anne-Maj Samuelsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :interleukin-6; intrauterine exposure; HPA-axis; RAS; hippocampus; spatial learning; hypertension; insulin signaling; cardiac hypertrophy;

    Sammanfattning : Prenatal exposure to infection is associated with several neuroendocrine disorders. We therefore wanted to elucidate if cytokines, generated in response to maternal infection, play a key mechanistic role in this associations. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Studies on the inflammatory response in experimental acute pyelonephritis and its importance for the development of renal scarring

    Författare :Adli Khalil; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Acute pyelonephritis especially in childhood is a serious and globally common bacterial infection. The infecting microorganism is often derived from the patient's own bowel flora and mainly affects the renal parenchyma and pelvis. LÄS MER
