11. Retinal pigment epithelial cells, oxidative stress and lipofuscin : relation to age-related macular degeneration
Sammanfattning : In developed countries, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of loss of central vision in people over the age of 65. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) appears to be the site of early pathological changes in AMD. LÄS MER
12. Hydrolytic and Oxidative Mechanisms Involved in Cellulose Degradation
Sammanfattning : The enzymatic degradation of cellulose is an important process in nature. This thesis has focused on the degradation of cellulose by enzymes from two cellulose-degrading fungi, Hypocrea jecorina and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, including both the action of the individual enzymes and their synergistic interplay.

13. Altered gene expression in the human airways during oxidative stress
Sammanfattning : The atmospheric accumulation of pollutant gases, such as N02 and ozone, has been associated with an increased airways hyper-reactivity within the healthy population. Moreover, those with conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases generally experience an exacerbation of their symptoms upon exposure to these noxious gases. LÄS MER
14. Oxidative stress and muscle weakness associated with rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Muscle weakness is a common comorbidity of several severe diseases which results in a reduced independence and quality of life and for the afflicted patients. For instance, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a disease characterized by a chronic inflammation of the joints, commonly report of muscle weakness as a complication. LÄS MER
15. Genetic variation and regulation of oxidative stress related genes
Sammanfattning : Oxidative stress, is a state that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases, including atherosclerosis, inflammation, neurodegenerative disease and cancer. In an effort to determine the importance of oxidative stress in disease etiology, by a genetic approach, we have, studied individual variation and regulation of oxidative stress related genes including also basal characterization.
