1. Mechanisms and time course of cell death in embryonic nigral tissue and intrastriatal transplants
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and severely affects about one in a hundred persons over the age of fifty years. In PD, there is a reduced striatal concentration of the neurotransmittor dopamine, mainly caused by a degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. LÄS MER
2. The impact of glucotoxicity on pancreatic β-cell function
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes mellitus is connected with elevated plasma glucose levels which negatively influence β-cells and cause impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The aim of present thesis was to investigate the impact of long-term hyperglycemia on the pancreatic islet β-cell function. LÄS MER
3. Synthesis of Small Molecules Targeting ADP-Ribosyltransferases and Total Synthesis of Resveratrol Based Natural Products
Sammanfattning : Diphtheria Toxin-like ADP-RibosyltransferasesThe Human ADP-ribosyl transferases (ARTDs) are a group of poorly studied enzymes which are believed to be involved in e.g. DNA repair, protein degradation, transcription regulation and cell death. Medicinal chemistry programmes aimed at developing selective inhibitors of these ARTDs were initiated. LÄS MER
4. Angiogenesis in obesity and cancer
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is the process of blood vessel growth from pre-existing vasculatures. In the adult, it is involved in certain physiological processes, such as in organ and tissue regeneration, wound healing, and in female reproductive cycles. LÄS MER
5. Diverse effects of endocrine-disruptive chemicals on Leydig and adrenocortical cell steroidogenesis in rodents and humans
Sammanfattning : We are living in a man-made world and often exposed to different chemicals known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that negatively influence our hormonal system. These compounds have the potential to interrupt a normal steroidogenesis and result in harmful effects on the reproductive health of humans and among other organisms. LÄS MER
