16. Impact of the upper gut on body fluid regulation and blood pressure in man - potential involvement of a locally expressed renin-angiotensin system
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the role of the upper gut in the regulation of diuresis and blood pressure control in relation to the novel finding of a mucosa-located renin-angiotensin system (RAS). RAS is a regulatory super-system vital for body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure control. LÄS MER
17. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition and aspirin in congestive heart failure
Sammanfattning : Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors act by decreasing production of angiotensin II and by potentiating the effects of bradykinin by inhibition of its breakdown. Bradykinin exerts part of its effects via vasodilating prostaglandins. Since the cyclooxygenase (COX)-inhibitors, e.g. LÄS MER
18. Nitrates and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Sammanfattning : Use of beta-blockers and inhibitors of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is established practice in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Clinical studies also suggest beneficial long-term effects of nitrates in CHF. LÄS MER
19. The importance of body mass index and weight-change in patients with coronary artery disease
Sammanfattning : High body mass index (BMI) is associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. Obesity is also an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and can cause structural as well as functional changes in the heart. High BMI is associated with increased mortality in the population. LÄS MER
20. Studies of pancreatic islet microcirculation and insulin secretion in normal and diabetic rats
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes is increasing globally. The disease is characterized not only by hyperglycemia, but also by insulin resistance with attendant dyslipidemia, hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. These aberrations may result in macrovascular disease, and deeply impact the longevity and quality of life in diabetic patients. LÄS MER
