  1. 1. Effects of immunosuppressive drugs on human adipose tissue metabolism

    Författare :Maria J Pereira; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cyclosporin A; tacrolimus; rapamycin; glucocorticoids; new onset diabetes after transplantation; adipocytes; insulin signalling; glucose uptake; lipolysis; lipogenesis;

    Sammanfattning : The immunosuppressive agents (IAs) rapamycin, cyclosporin A and tacrolimus, as well as glucocorticoids are used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and to treat autoimmune disorders. Despite their desired action on the immune system, these agents have serious long-term metabolic side-effects, including dyslipidemia and new onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Aloe barbadensis Mill. as a therapeutic option for irritable bowel syndrome

    Författare :Bani Ahluwalia; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic and prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder, with an incompletely understood pathophysiology. Because of the disease complexity and heterogeneity, the currently available treatment options for IBS are limited. LÄS MER

  3. 3. In vitro studies on the potential immunosuppressive and antitumor effects of antidepressants : induction of apoptosis in human T-cells and a myeloid leukemia cell line

    Författare :Zhenlei Xia; Tom Cotter; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Antidepressants are widely used in treating depressive disorders. It has been demonstrated that several components of the immune system may be activated in the acute clinical stage of major depression and that such activation may play a role in the onset of depressive symptoms.

  4. 4. Effects and mechanisms of actions of cyclosporin, FK506 and 15-deoxyspergualin

    Författare :Anette Johansson Borg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cyclosporin; FK506; 15-deoxyspergualin; immunosuppressive effects; transplantation;

    Sammanfattning : Immunosuppressive drugs can be used to deal with unwanted or inappropriate immune reactions, such as the rejection of a transplanted organ. However, treatment with these drugs are often associated with serious adverse effects, and therefore less toxic immunosuppressants are desired. LÄS MER

  5. 5. In vitro and in vivo studies on the toxicology of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) : Effects on reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems

    Författare :Liselott Källsten; Oskar Karlsson; Paula Pierozan; Jonathan W. Martin; Jorma Toppari; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dibutyl phthalate; Endocrine disrupting chemicals; Male reproductive health; Phthalates; Immunotoxicity; Toxicology; Steroidogenesis; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Chemical pollution is an increasing societal problem and has a major impact on human and environmental health. One important source of chemical pollution is plastic, which contains many different compounds with often largely unknown hazards. LÄS MER
