    Sammanfattning : A risk for premature atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular mortality has been reported in adult patients suffering from growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and receiving conventional hormone substitution without growth hormone (GH) replacement. GHD patients are resistant to insulin, which is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Addison's disease (AD) or primary adrenal insufficiency is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of 100-140 per million inhabitants and deadly unless treated with glucocorticoids (GCs). Very limited information is available on the morbidity and mortality in this patient group. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Individuals with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI), i.e., congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD), suffer from impaired production of the adrenal gland hormones cortisol and aldosterone, and in the case of AAD, also androgens. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of feeding yeasts on blood physiology and gut microbiota of rainbow trout

    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Yeast represents a sustainable protein alternative to fishmeal in diets for farmed fish, although more than 40% replacement has been shown to reduce fish growth and welfare. This thesis investigated the effects of feeding high inclusions of inactivated and live yeasts to fish in order to replace fishmeal without negative health consequences. LÄS MER
