1. Macula Densa Derived Nitric Oxide and Kidney Function
Sammanfattning : The kidney is the major organ regulating the extracellular fluid volume and thereby the arterial blood pressure. The neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the kidney is predominantly located in the macula densa cells. LÄS MER
2. Computer simulations of electronic energy transfer and a molecular dynamics study of a decapeptide
Sammanfattning : Electronic energy transfer has been investigated in pure donor systems by means of computer simulations. Calculated properties were the probability that the initially excited donor is excited at a time t after the excitation, Gs(t), the mean square displacement of the excitation and different fluorescence observables.

3. Structural and neurohormonal factors in left ventricular hypertrophy and inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Sammanfattning : Hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of this thesis was to study how different neurohormonal systems relate to left ventricular mass, and to study structural and functional cardiovascular changes in hypertensive LVH. LÄS MER
4. Vascular and endothelial function in human hypertension, and the importance of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Sammanfattning : Background: Hypertension induces structural vascular and cardiac changes with increased arterial stiffness and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and is major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the sympathetic nervous system are important for blood pressure regulation and vascular function. LÄS MER
5. Genetic aspects of stroke : association and linkage studies in a northern Swedish population
Sammanfattning : Stroke is a common, multifactorial cardiovascular disease. A stroke event is the result of traditional risk factors (i.e. hypertension, diabetes, smoking), environmental exposures and genetic factors in a complex interplay. LÄS MER
