1. Selenoprotein P. Nutritional and clinical aspects
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the nutritional regulation and clinical significance of selenoprotein P (SeP) in human plasma of healthy and diseased subjects was investigated. For the analysis of SeP, a radioimmunoassay was developed using polyclonal antibodies. LÄS MER
2. Early-life selenium status and cognitive development
Sammanfattning : Selenium is an essential element that is found in food sources such as meat, fish, and cereals. The essentiality of selenium was demonstrated in the 1950s, and the interest in its health effects has been growing ever since. Deficiency is common world-wide, particularly in Europe and south-eastern Asia. It has been estimated that 0. LÄS MER
3. Selenium Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity in Bovine Milk. Studies on Glutathione Peroxidase, Bioavailability and Electrochemical Techniques
Sammanfattning : The efficacy and function of antioxidants have been intensively studied in foods and other biological systems in recent decades. This thesis concerns different aspects of the antioxidant properties of bovine milk, with emphasis on measurement of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC), the activity of the selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), and the bioavailability of selenium from bovine milk in humans.

4. Selenoproteins in the Bovine Mammary Gland. Regulation of mRNA and Protein Expression
Sammanfattning : Selenium is a micronutrient that is essential for many important life processes due to the action of the specific selenoproteins containing one or more of the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine. Twenty-five selenoprotein genes have been found in the human genome but the function of many of them is not yet known. LÄS MER
5. Prostate Cancer; Metabolic Risk Factors, Drug Utilisation, Adverse Drug Reactions
Sammanfattning : Increased possibilities during the last decades for early detection of prostate cancer have sparked research on preventable or treatable risk factors and on improvements in therapy. Treatments of the disease still entail significant side effects potentially affecting men during the rest of their lives. LÄS MER
