  1. 31. Nitrate, Nitrite and Nitric Oxide in Gastric Mucosal Defense

    Författare :Joel Petersson; Lena Holm; Jon Lundberg; Mia Phillipson; Matthew Grisham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dietary nitrate; mucus gel layer; mucosal blood flow; mucus thickness; laser-Doppler flowmetry; mucosal damage; intra-vital microscopy; mucosal permeability; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The human stomach normally contains high levels of bioactive nitric oxide (NO). This NO derives from salivary nitrate (NO3-) that is converted to nitrite (NO2-) by oral bacteria and thereafter non-enzymatically reduced in the acidic gastric lumen to NO. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Diet and inflammation : the role of nitrate and conjugated linoleic acid

    Författare :Cecilia Jädert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A diet rich in vegetables and unsaturated fatty acids is associated with a lower risk of major diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and chronic inflammation. Yet, despite extensive research, the active component(s) responsible for these effects has not been pinpointed and studies with single nutrients have been largely unsuccessful. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Stress and immune signaling in a Drosophila tumor model

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drosophila; cancer; innate immunity; fibrosis; antimicrobial peptides; chitinase-like proteins; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer cells contain multiple biological alterations that allow them to escape from host surveillance mechanisms. One of the mechanisms that play an essential role in host protection against tumor growth is immunity. LÄS MER

  5. 34. Primary Sjögren´s Syndrome. Clinical Studies with reference to Hormonal Status, Psychiatric Symptoms and Well-Being

    Sammanfattning : Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic inflammatory connective tissue disease of unknown etiology. The disease primarily involves salivary and lacrimal glands which results in oral and ocular dryness (sicca symptoms). A wide spectrum of extraglandular features from various organs may be seen.

  7. 35. Pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations in primary Sjögren’s syndrome and Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

    Författare :Marika Kvarnström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune condition. The etiology of pSS is mainly unknown, but it has been suggested that environmental factors trigger an immune response in genetically susceptible individuals. LÄS MER
