26. Monocyte and Neutrophil Inflammatory Responses to the Periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is one of the most common adult infections. Duing bacteremia in healthy individuals or patients with chronic periodontitis, a number of oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis encounter inflammatory cells in the blood eg. platelets, neutrophils and monocytes.

27. IL-25 and B cells in atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of medium and large vessels of the body which is mainly characterized by the formation of lipid rich plaques within the arterial tissue. It is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease leading to clinical manifestations of coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. LÄS MER
28. Phospholipid related antigens and protective mechanisms : implications for cardiovascular diseases, human autoimmunity and inflammation
Sammanfattning : The pathogenesis of chronic inflammation, a common denominator in cardiovascular, metabolic and systemic autoimmune diseases, is influenced by a number of genetic, metabolic and immunological risk factors. Oxidation of cellular membranes and lipoproteins by reactive oxygen species generates a number of complex and distinct oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) thought to be involved in this pathogenesis.

29. Influence of Herring (Clupea harengus) Intake on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes four studies that investigated whether or not herring (Clupea harengus) intake decreases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It has previously been shown that fatty fish and fish oil intake decreases the risk of atherosclerosis and CVD. LÄS MER
30. Cellular immunity and inflammation in atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis, the major cause of death and disability in western countries, is nowadays recognized as an inflammatory disease. Low density lipoprotein (LDL), the major carrier of cholesterol in plasma, is trapped in the subendothelial space, where compounds inside of LDL are chemically modified through lipid peroxidation.
