1. 21. Retinoids in the modulation of vascular inflammation

   Författare :Andreas Gidlöf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Retinoids; metabolism; vascular smooth muscle cell; nitric oxide; inflammation; proliferation; restenosis;

   Sammanfattning : Vascular disease is multifactorial. Smooth muscle cells, the major constituent of the normal vessel wall, play a pivotal role. The pathogenesis includes cellular differentiation, proliferation and inflammatory activation. LÄS MER

3. 22. Tailoring the course of postprandial glycaemia to bread : On the importance of viscous dietary fibre for acute and semi-acute glucose tolerance and appetite

   Författare :Linda Ekström; Kemicentrum Centrum för preventiv livsmedelsforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Postprandial glycaemia; appetite; prevention; antidiabetic food; inflammation; GI; glycaemic profile;

   Sammanfattning : The prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world. Frequent episodes of elevated postprandial blood glucose have been associated with oxidative stress and subclinical inflammation, and the importance of a tight glycaemic control has been identified as an important factor to maintain health and prevent T2DM, obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

4. 23. Studies on the atherogenicity of apoB-containing lipoproteins in type 2 diabetes

   Författare :Camilla Pettersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Type 2 diabetes; metabolic syndrome; atherosclerosis; VLDL; LDL; secretory phospholipase A2 group V; inflammation; complement; apolipoprotein; lysozyme;

   Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS), two conditions that are rapidly increasing in prevalence, as well as the dyslipoproteinemia and subclinical inflammation characteristic for these conditions, are associated with an increased risk for developing and dying of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this thesis was to investigate possible atherogenic properties of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in T2D and MetS. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Age affects hearing and cognitive abilities. Older people, with and without hearing impairment (HI), exhibit difficulties in hearing speech in noise. LÄS MER

7. 25. Molecular mechanisms for activation of non-canonical TGFβ pathways and their importance during prostate cancer progression

   Författare :Anahita Hamidi; Marene Landstöm; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Ramin Massoumi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TGFβ; AKT; PI3K; p85α; TRAF6; TAK1; NF-κB; Src; prostate cancer; PC-3U; cell migration; inflammation; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the most common invasive cancer diagnosed in men and a major and growing health problem in Western countries. Deregulation of different pathways has been implicated in progression of prostate cancer, namely nuclear factor kappa enhancer binding protein (NF-κB), transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), phosphoinositide 3ʹ-kinase/AKT (PI3K/AKT) and Src kinase pathways.
