1. A Longitudinal Study of Diabetes Mellitus : With Special Reference to Incidence and Prevalence, and to Determinants of Macrovascular Complications and Mortality
Sammanfattning : Objectives. To investigate diabetes prevalence, incidence, mortality trends, the effects of hyperglycaemia and blood pressure, diabetes and hypertension treatment, and the effect of screening detection on total and cardiovascular disease (CVD), myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke incidence.Study population and methods. LÄS MER
2. On macrovascular and renal complications in type 1 diabetes : aspects on glycemic memory
Sammanfattning : There is a substantially increased risk of premature mortality and morbidity in cardiovascular disease (CVD) among type 1 diabetes individuals compared to individuals without diabetes. Development of microangiopathy and markers of macrovascular complications precedes these events. LÄS MER
3. Expression and function of IGF-I and insulin receptors in human micro- and macrovascular cells
Sammanfattning : Insulin-like growth factor and insulin are phylogenetically closely related polypeptides and have large structural and biological similarities. Low circulating insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), diabetes as well as insulin resistance have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms involved are still not clear.

4. Genetics of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a polygenic disease caused by an interaction between genetic and environmental factors such as low physical activity, smoking, and obesity. The disease is associated with devastating chronic microvascular (nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy) and macrovascular (coronary heart disease and stroke) complications. LÄS MER
5. Cardiovascular role of PDGF-B in development and disease. Studies in genetically engineered mice
Sammanfattning : Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B) is vital for microvascular development, and retention of PDGF-B to extracellular matrix (ECM) is important in this process. However, the role and source of PDGF-B in development of macrovascular function is disputed. LÄS MER
