    Nyckelord :senescence; ageing; longevity; mortality; experimental evolution; Caenorhabditis remanei; Biologi; Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Ageing reduces fitness, but how ageing evolves is still unclear. Evolutionary theory of ageing hinges on the fundamental principal that the force of natural selection declines with age. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The effects of deleterious mutations on ageing

    Sammanfattning : Ageing is defined as the deterioration of an individual's physiological performance with advancing age, which leads to a decrease in reproduction and/or survival. The question why most organisms age has preoccupied humans for millennia and, over the last decades, resulted in an ever-increasing research effort to understand this phenomenon. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Biological ageing and kidney transplantation

    Författare :Helen Erlandsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of biological ageing in patients with chronic kidney disease, the effect of kidney transplantation on biological ageing and longterm outcome in patients with kidney failure. We used the national Swedish renal registry (SNR), ScandiaTransplant´s database YASWA, patient records and different methods to analyze biological ageing and circulatory microbiota to address this aim.

  7. 5. Effects of ageing and training on the human heart

    Författare :Frederic Bouvier; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ageing; endurance training; exercise capacity; myocardial perfusion scintigraphy; ejection fraction; left ventricular end-diastolic volume; ventricular arrhythmias and heart rate variability;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present studies was to evaluate the effects of ageing and endurance training on the human heart. One hundred and twelve healthy subjects, athletes and non-athletes, between 20 and 80 years of age and two master athletes between 70 and 80 years of age with previous myocardial infarction were investigated.
