  1. 1. Signaling factors related to atrophy and hypertrophy in denervated skeletal muscle

    Författare :Ann-Kristin Fjällström; Sven Tågerud; Jan Henriksson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrophy; Hypertrophy; Skeletal muscle; Denervation; Protein synthesis; Protein degradation; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The human body consists of about 40 % skeletal muscles which control the body’s movement, ability to stand up, force generation, locomotion, heat production and are also the body’s protein reservoir. Muscle mass is controlled by the relationship between protein synthesis and protein degradation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Telomeres and the brain : an investigation into the relationships of leukocyte telomere length with functional and structural attributes of the brain

    Författare :Mikael Wikgren; Karl-Fredrik Norrback; Rolf Adolfsson; Göran Roos; Thomas Karlsson; Brenda Penninx; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; APOE; aging; atrophy; brain; cognition; cortisol; depression; hippocampus; HPA axis; MRI; stress; telomere length; white matter hyper-intensities.;

    Sammanfattning : Telomeres are the outermost parts of linear chromosomes. They consist of tandemly repeated non-coding short nucleotide sequences (TTAGGG in all vertebrates), in humans spanning over the last 2 to 15 kilobase pairs of the chromosome. Due to the end-replication problem, telomeres shorten with each cellular division. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Gene and protein expression in denervated atrophic and hypertrophic skeletal muscle

    Författare :Marlene Norrby; Sven Tågerud; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Skeletal muscle; Denervation; Hypertrophy; Atrophy; Gene expression; Protein expression; Protein phosphorylation; NIFK; Wnt; MK2; Akt signaling;

    Sammanfattning : Following denervation skeletal muscles change their functional and structural properties. Some changes resemble conditions in developing muscles and may be important for reinnervation. Due to inactivity following denervation most skeletal muscles loose muscle mass and become atrophic.

  5. 4. INFLAMMATION AND PROSTATIC CARCINOGENESIS ? A MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE HUMAN PROSTATE

    Författare :Wanzhong Wang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :prostate; carcinogenesis; chronic inflammation; atrophy; morphology; immunohistochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation has been suggested to be linked to cancers. Inflammatory infiltrates are often found in and around foci of prostatic atrophy. These foci, called proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), are proposed as precursors of prostate cancer (PCa) or prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Giant cell arteritis. Epidemiological, morphological and molecular genetic studies

    Författare :Vigdís Pétursdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Giant cell arteritis; temporal artery; aorta; epidemiology; atrophy; calcification; estrogen receptor a; morphometry; immunocytochemistry; Western blot; molecular genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, affecting large and medium-sized arteries, predominantly in postmenopausal women. Its pathogenesis is probably multifactorial. Several studies suggest that GCA is an antigen-driven disease. LÄS MER
