  1. 1. Condition-dependence in life history evolution

    Författare :Foteini Spagopoulou; Alexei Maklakov; Lars Gustafsson; Russell Bonduriansky; Pat Monaghan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ageing; senescence; nongenetic inheritance; sex differences; condition-dependence; life history; trade-off; Ficedula albicollis; Caenorhabditis remanei; Telostylinus angusticollis; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Ageing is the progressive physiological deterioration that appears with increasing age and eventually leads to a decline in survival and reproduction. This physiological process is omnipresent across the tree of life, but the expected trajectory can widely vary between and within species. LÄS MER

    Författare :Kerstin Huss-Danell; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nitrogen fixation; lichen; acetylene reduction; environmental factors; physiological condition; pine forest; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis is a summary and discussion of six papers.The purpose of the investigation was to study the influence of (i) environmental factors and (ii) the physiological condition of the thallus on nitrogen fixation in the lichen Stereocaulon paschale (L.) Fr. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Diabetes and obesity in primary health care - a condition beyond physiological factors

    Författare :Irene Svenningsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Anxiety; depression; diabetes type 2; gender; health care professional; health related quality of life; obesity; patient; primary health care;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: The objectives of this thesis are to illustrate how obese and normal-weight individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) experience their health status and health care interactions and to highlight the diabetes team (doctor, nurse, dietician, physiotherapist) approach to treating obese individuals with T2DM. Methods: Studies I and IV were qualitative interview studies. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Physiological trade-offs in reproduction and condition dependence of a secondary sexual trait

    Författare :Måns S. Andersson; Victor Apanius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Trade-offs; life history; immune ecology; cost of reproduction; costs of immune response; sexual selection; migration; moult; Newcastle disease; HbA1C; Ficedula albicollis; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines parental condition, how it is traded off against reproduction and how it is displayed in a secondary sexual trait. The studies were performed on nest-box breeding collared flycatchers Ficedula albicollis on the island of Gotland, in the Baltic Sea. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Microglial Glutamate Transporters - Regulation of Expression and Possible Physiological Functions

    Författare :Mikael Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :anaphylatoxin; central nervous system; herpes simplex virus; glutamate transport; glutathione; GLT-1; lipopolysaccharide; microglia; neuroinflammation; oxidative stress; protection; tumour necrosis factor-alpha;

    Sammanfattning : Microglia are considered as the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Being the first line of defence, they have prominent roles in monitoring the homeostasis and the extracellular milieu and can rapidly and specifically react to any disturbances such as brain trauma, ischemia, neurodegenerative diseases, or infections.
