    Nyckelord :Liver X receptor; growth hormone; gene regulation; metabolism; hepatocyte; hepatic steatosis; species differences;

    Sammanfattning : The liver X receptors (LXRs) are ligand activated transcription factors involved in the regulation of metabolic genes. LXRs are considered potential drug targets to treat metabolic disorders, however, unwanted side effects, as revealed from rodent studies, include increased lipogenesis in the liver and increased plasma triglyceride levels.

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Survival rates in infants born extremely preterm, before 28 weeks of gestation, are increasing and the focus has shifted towards decreasing morbidites after extremely preterm birth and promoting life-long health for the survivors.1-3Approximately 50-60% of extremely preterm infants have the past decade been treated for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) to induce ductal closure.

  7. 25. Determination of the role of oxygen in acute myocardial infarction

    Författare :Robin Hofmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Myocardial infarction;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Oxygen therapy has been used routinely in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for more than a hundred years. Even today, supplemental oxygen is widely recommended in guidelines and implemented in clinical practice, despite limited data supporting a beneficial clinical effect. LÄS MER
