1. Endothelial dysfunction in the pulmanory circulation after cardiopulmonary bybass : with special reference to the reactivity to acetylcholine
Sammanfattning : The endothelium is important as a physical barrier between the bloodstream and the body tissues. It also plays an important role in the control of vasomotor tone, coagulation, and for the interaction between the vessel wall, leukocytes and platelets. One of the most important regulators released from the endothelium is nitric oxide (NO). LÄS MER
2. Aspects of sepsis/SIRS - An experimental study on fluid therapy, vitamin C and plasma volume in increased permeability
Sammanfattning : In sepsis, after major surgery or severe trauma, the human body may suffer from various degrees of generalized inflammation, a syndrome called Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). One feature of SIRS is increased capillary permeability, caused by disruption of the capillary endothelium due to e.g. LÄS MER
3. Pre-harvest factors affecting quality and shelf-life in raspberries and blackberries (Rubus spp. L.)
Sammanfattning : Fruit including berries have been demonstrated to exhibit a broad spectrum of benefits including protection against cardiovascular, neurological, and lung diseases, as well as having antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti- diabetic and anti-aging properties. These protective effects are reported to be due to their high content of bioactive compounds, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, phenolic acids, ellagitannins, flavonoids and carotenoids. LÄS MER
4. Airway antioxidant responses to oxidative air pollution and vitamin supplementation
Sammanfattning : Air pollutants, such as ozone (O3) and diesel exhaust particles, elicit oxidative stress in the lung. Antioxidants within the respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF) protect the underlying tissue from oxidative injury. LÄS MER
5. Antioxidants from diet and supplements in relation to cardiovascular disease
Sammanfattning : Many epidemiological studies have reported an inverse association between fruit and vegetable consumption and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Because fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants they were hypothesized to be one the factors responsible for the protective mechanisms. LÄS MER
