  1. 1. Renal and parathyroid function in psychiatric patients on lithium treatment

    Författare :Hans Bendz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes insipidus; glomerular filtration rate; hypercalcemia; hyperparathyroidism; lithium; nephrogenic; nephropathy; polyuria;

    Sammanfattning : Aims. To investigate the prevalence and clinical implications of renal and parathyroid morbidity in lithium patients. Patients. Short-term lithium patients (n=162; average 6 treatment years) and long-term patients (n=142; average 19 treatment years) were studied cross-sectionally. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Aquaporins - Novel approaches to old problems

    Författare :Carl Johan Hagströmer; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaporin AQP ; membrane proteins; X-ray crystallography; nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; Sjögren s syndrome; cataracts; ezrin; calmodulin; continuous diffraction; protein-protein interactions;

    Sammanfattning : As all life on this planet evolves around water, it is important for our bodies to be able to regulate it. This may be done passively, but just like with water in the ocean, if we were to rely solely on passive transport (such as evaporation), the flow of water would be too slow for biological functions to uphold the homeostasis that is so important for us to survive.

  4. 3. Structural studies of aquporins in human kidney and plant

    Författare :Anna Frick; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; structural biochemistry; membrane protein; aquaporin;

    Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins are key players in our biology and are links between the inside and the outside of the cell, allowing for signal transduction and transport of molecules. Aquaporins are membrane protein channels that allow water to pass in and out of the cell. Since all life depend on water, their function is vital for any type of organism. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Nocturia in the elderly. Aspects on epidemiology, pathogenesis, and antidiuretic treatment

    Författare :Åsa Rembratt; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; Public health; hyponatremia.; desmopressin; frequency-volume chart; voiding patterns; Nocturia; nocturnal polyuria; Folkhälsa; epidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Analysis of nocturia questionnaires mailed to all persons aged 65 years or more in Tierp, a Swedish rural community, showed that the number of nocturnal voids was highly correlated with urge and incontinence. No correlation between nocturia and a known and treated hypertension, angina, congestive heart failure or diabetes mellitus was detected. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The effects of some peptide hormones on osteoblast-like cells : with specific focus on oxytocin and vasopressin

    Författare :Alena Lagumdzija; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :h0B; SaOS-2; OXT; AVP; IGF-I; PTH; PTHrP; eNOSKO;

    Sammanfattning : The nonapeptides oxytocin (OXT) and vasopressin (AVP) are mainly produced in the hypothalamus and released into the circulation through the neurohypophysis. Recently, an OXT-receptor was demonstrated in human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells, and it has been suggested that patients with central diabetes insipidus (deficiency of AVP) have decreased bone mass.
