  1. 1. Coffee and gene interaction. The effect on methionine and lipid metabolism

    Författare :Elisabeth Strandhagen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :coffee; homocysteine; cholesterol; folate; pyridoxine; MTHFR; APOE; gene; polymorphism; interaction;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Different dietary factors influence the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), most likely in an interaction with genetic polymorphisms. The knowledge about such interactions is insufficient. Some observational studies have shown an association between coffee and CHD, others have not. Coffee consumption affects some CHD risk factors, e. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Homocysteine and Coronary Artery Disease With special Reference to Biochemical Effects Of Vitamin Therapy

    Författare :Torfi Jonasson; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; pyridoxine.; oxidative stress; lipid peroxidation; inflammation; homocysteine; endothelial function; folate; F2-isoprostanes; cystatine C; Acut coronary syndrome; cardiovascular disease; asymmetric dimethylarginine; cobalamine;

    Sammanfattning : An elevated plasma level of homocysteine has been suggested as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The objectives of this thesis were to study the influence of renal function on homocysteine levels in patients with coronary artery disease and to explore the association of elevated plasma levels of homocysteine to oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction.

  4. 3. The impact of lifestyles on the occurrence of dementia

    Författare :Hui-Xin Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer s disease; dementia; elderly; emotional support; folate; incidence; integration; intellectual activity; lifestyle; mental activity; physical activity; prevalence; productive activity; smoking; social activity; social network; risk factor; and vitamin B12.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explored the impact of different lifestyles in late life on the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia. Smoking, vitamin B12 and folate in relation to AD have been extensively studied, but the results are inconsistent. Research concerning the association between dementia and social network or social activities is scarce. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Exposure to inorganic arsenic in pregnancy and metabolism-nutrition interaction

    Författare :Li Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Inorganic arsenic is metabolized by most mammals, including humans, via alternating reduction and oxidative methylation with S-adenosylmethionine as main methyl donor. Thus, it seems likely that it is influenced by the availability of methyl groups. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Urologic and metabolic consequences of continent urostomy (Kock reservoir) in children and adolescents

    Författare :Gamal Abd El-Gawad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Urinary diversion; Continent ileal urostomy; Kock pouch; Complication; Enterocystography; Enterocystometry; Urography; B12; Folic acid; MMA; Quality of life.;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades, urinary diversion using an intestinal segment has been commonly used in children and adolescents. Kock pouch is a feasible alternative for the children in need of a continent diversion where other alternatives such as Mitrofanoff are excluded for various reasons. LÄS MER
