  1. 1. Cell death in atherosclerosis

    Författare :Milita Crisby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; carotid artery stenosis; ischemic stroke; apoptosis; necrosis; lipid peroxidation; plaque stability; pravastatin; inflammation; 27-[alpha]-hydroxylase;

    Sammanfattning : Rupture of atherosclerotic lesions is recognized as the major cause of acute cerebrovascular and coronary syndromes. The characteristics of the typical vulnerable plaque include increased inflammatory cells at the shoulder region, a large lipid core, a thin fibrous cap with few collagen fibers and smooth muscle cells.

  3. 2. Alzheimer's Disease: The role of alpha1-antichymotrypsin-amyloid peptide (Abeta 1-42) interaction in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease

    Författare :Yongxin Sun; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsychology; Neurology; lipid metabolism.; inflammation; á1-antichymotrypsin; Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid-â peptide;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an age-related, irreversible brain disorder that occurs gradually and results in memory loss, behavioural and personality changes. The disease is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of amyloid-beta (Ab) peptide in the extracellular space and the protein Tau within nerve cells of certain regions of the brain. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. On the regulation and effects of chronic inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease

    Författare :Olof Grip; Gastroenterologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gastroenterologi; statins; monocytes; eosinophils; dysplasia; thrombosis; ulcerative colitis; Crohn s disease; inflammation; inflammatory bowel disease; Gastro-enterology;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammatory bowel disease is thought to result from the inappropriate and ongoing activation of the mucosal immune system driven by the presence of normal luminal flora. In this process monocytes/macrophages contribute to and maintain chronic inflammation by being both regulatory and effector cells. LÄS MER

  7. 5. 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
