Progression and treatment of experimental peri-implantitis
(2011-04-21)
Peri-implantitis is characterized by inflammatory lesions in peri-implant tissues and loss of supporting bone. The aims of the present series of studies were to analyze (i) spontaneous progression and (ii) the effect of ...
The Nordic Expert Group for Criteria Documentation of Health Risks from Chemicals. 150. Silicon carbide
(Arbets- och miljömedicin, Göteborgs universitet, 2018-01-20)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a rare naturally occurring mineral, but manufactured industrially at a large scale. SiC may exist in non-fibrous (angular) and fibrous forms (polycrystalline fibres and single crystal whiskers). ...
Molecular and structural patterns of guided bone regeneration (GBR). Experimental studies on the role of GBR membrane and bone substitute materials
(2015-09-15)
The mechanisms of guided bone regeneration (GBR) and bone healing with calcium phosphate (CaP) bone substitutes are not fully understood. The major aim of this thesis was to determine the relationship between the bone ...
On the importance of inflammation for personality traits and psychiatric morbidity
(2010-12-10)
Background: Pro-inflammatory mediators have been implicated in processes that could be both beneficial and toxic to cells in the brain. On the one hand balanced levels of these mediators favour e.g. neurodevelopmental ...
Iron deficiency in female adolescent athletes - prevalence, mechanisms and diagnostics
(2014-05-26)
Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is a very common condition and the most
common nutritional deficiency in the world. ID mostly affects females, both
athletes and non-athletes. Several underlying mechanisms are identified ...
Influence of inflammation and of stage of lung development on the development of neonatal lung injury
(2010-11-26)
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major cause of mortality and long-term morbidity in prematurely born infants. Pulmonary inflammation, and abnormal alveolar and vascular development of the lung are histological ...
Regulation of IL-6-signaling and inflammatory response – Role of insulin, FOXO1 and PKCδ
(2010-04-27)
The aim of this thesis was to investigate if and how insulin antagonizes interleukin-6 (IL-6)-signaling and
action using both 3T3-L1 mouse adipocytes (Paper I) and HepG2 human hepatocytes (Paper III). We also
investigated ...
Cardiovascular structure and function in obesity. The impact of body composition, sleep apnea and sustained weight loss
(2012-10-23)
Background: Obesity is associated with disturbances in cardiovascular structure and function varying along with the degree of fatness, but the mechanisms underlying this co-variation are unclear. Short-term weight loss ...
Muscarinic receptors in the urinary bladder - The role of the urothelium regarding cholinergic and nitrergic effects in inflammation
(2010-11-19)
Inflammation alters the functional properties of the urinary bladder. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory syndrome in man that is characterized by urgency, frequency and visceral pain. The overall aim of ...
The role of S100A4 protein as a regulator of inflammation and bone metabolism in experimental arthritis
(2011-10-28)
S100A4 belongs to the family of calcium-binding S100 proteins and modulates cell proliferation,
cytoskeletal rearrangement, cell motility, and angiogenesis. Increased levels of S100A4 expression
correlate with high ...
