  1. 26. Human C-reactive protein : genetic and hormonal regulation and role in atherogenesis

    Författare :Alexander Kovacs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Although in decline in the developed world CHD is still the number one killer. The decline is thought to be due to better risk prevention and treatment. C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an marker of CHD. It is associated with several of the major risk factors of CHD. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Gene networks and modules in atherosclerosis

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we are using global gene expression profiles to unravel functional gene networks and modules. The focus is atherosclerosis, a disease with manifestations in the artery wall where deposits of lipids accumulate and trigger immune responses causing the development of plaques, which upon rupture can lead to a myocardial infarction or stroke.
