16. Tracer development and PET studies : labeled proinsulin C-peptide and an EGFR-TK inhibitor
Sammanfattning : Positron emission tomography (PET), which localizes and quantifies positron decays over time, enables non-invasive in vivo distribution studies of trace amounts of compounds labeled with positron emitters. The use of PET to image disease processes is growing as the number of available tracers increases and, especially, as they become more selective and specific. LÄS MER
17. C-peptide structural and functional relationships studied by biosensor technology and mass spectrometry
Sammanfattning : Proinsulin C-peptide has a number of biological activities and receives interest focusing on the therapeutic potential as a candidate for future co-replacement therapy with insulin in type 1 diabetes. Based on conservation results from comparisons of 22 mammalian proinsulin variants, analogs were constructed for studies of phosphorylation of mitogenactivated protein kinases (MAPKs) in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts.

18. Mechanisms and effects of low plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 activity
Sammanfattning : Bleeding diathesis is a common reason for investigation of the haemostatic system and in about 50% of the cases an abnormality is found. Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is an inhibitor of tissue- and urokinase plasminogen activator (tPA/uPA). LÄS MER
19. Endocrine aspects of obesity and weight reduction by bariatric surgery : with special emphasis on beta cell function
Sammanfattning : Severe obesity is the most predictive acquired risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery induces marked weight loss and reverses the diabetic state significantly. LÄS MER
20. Clinical Manifestations of Coronary Heart Disease and the Metabolic Syndrome : A Population-based Study in Middle-aged Men in Uppsala
Sammanfattning : During the past decades the knowledge concerning risk factors and pathophysiology of coronary heart disease (CHD) has substantially increased. However, despite identification of important risk factors CHD remains the leading cause of death in the western world. LÄS MER
