6. The clinical importance of anti-endothelial cell antibodies in chronic kidney dysfunction and organ transplantation
Sammanfattning : The endothelium is the thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and is the first site of contact between immune cells and tissues. Therefore, alterations at the level of the endothelium are crucial to understand the nature of vascular diseases and organ damage. LÄS MER
7. Mechanisms of endothelial cell dysfunction in Wegener's granulomatosis
Sammanfattning : Vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders that share a common feature of blood vessel inflammation. A major cell type of the blood vessel affected is the endothelial cell (EC). LÄS MER
8. Coronary Heart Disease and Erectile Dysfunction
Sammanfattning : Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common condition associated with a high mortality. There is now growing evidence that erectile dysfunction (ED) in men may be a suitable marker of sub-clinical cardiovascular disease, identifying patients at high risk for future CHD. LÄS MER
9. Studies on the regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in endothelial dysfunction
Sammanfattning : Ischaemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. The underlying progression of the disease is linked to a reduction in the bioavailability of nitric oxide. One factor contributing to this is an increase in the production of superoxide radicals. LÄS MER
10. Endothelial function and dysfunction in coronary artery bypass grafting
Sammanfattning : The integrity of the endothelium is of importance for short- and long-term results following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this thesis different factors of the endothelial role in the regulation of vascular tone in relation to various current aspects of CABG have been investigated. LÄS MER
