  1. 1. Plasma as a Therapeutic Principle in Clinical Practice : With Special Reference to Sweden

    Författare :Rut A C Norda; Bo Nilsson; Bernd G Stegmayr; Kristina Nilsson-Ekdahl; Volker Kretschmer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Immunology; adverse effects; contact activation; plasma exchange; plasma storage; severe sepsis; therapeutic apheresis; transfusion; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : The newly established Swedish Apheresis Registry makes it possible to do national inter-center comparisons. This study was undertaken to describe and analyze the use of therapeutic apheresis and the adverse effects in such therapy. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Selenoprotein P. Nutritional and clinical aspects

    Författare :Marie Persson Moschos; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Food and drink technology; oxidant defense; LDL-apheresis; European survey; selenium supplementation; cancer risk; selenium status; radioimmunoassay; selenoprotein P; human plasma; Livsmedelsteknik; Fysicumarkivet A:1999:Persson Moschos;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the nutritional regulation and clinical significance of selenoprotein P (SeP) in human plasma of healthy and diseased subjects was investigated. For the analysis of SeP, a radioimmunoassay was developed using polyclonal antibodies. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On the regulation of hepatic cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in gallstone patients

    Författare :Carl-Gustaf Hillebrant; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Bile acid synthesis; biliary lipids; cholesterol synthesis; cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase; cholesterol synthesis inhibitor; chenodeoxycholic acid; cholestyramine; 7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one; HMG CoA reductase; lathosterol; lipoproteins; lithocholic acid; plasma apheresis; ursodeoxycholic acid;

    Sammanfattning : The liver plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, therefore also in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis and gallstone disease. The quantitatively most important way by which cholesterol is removed from the human body is via the bile, either as free cholesterol or after transformation to bile acids. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Platelet function in hyperlipoproteinemia and effects of lipid-lowering treatment

    Författare :Anders Bröijersén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Coronary atherosclerosis and thrombus formation on fissuring atherosclerotic plaques are key events in the development of coronary artery disease. Hyperlipoproteinemia induces atherosclerosis but may also exert direct prothrombotic effects via platelet activation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Familial hypercholesterolemia in Sweden : genetic and metabolic studies

    Författare :Suzanne Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Familial hypercholesterolemia; LDL receptor gene mutations; LDL cholesterol; bile acids; autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia; growth hormone; LDL clearance.;

    Sammanfattning : Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is inherited as an autosomal codominant disease, usually caused by mutations in the LDL receptor (LDLR) gene. Heterozygous FH is a common disease with a prevalence of about 1/500 in most populations. Clinically, FH is characterized by elevated LDL cholesterol, tendon xanthomas and premature atherosclerosis.
