Iron absorption in man - diet modification and fortification
(2008-05-23)
Background: Iron (Fe) deficiency is globally the most common form of nutrient deficiency. The approach to combat this problem can be divided into two major strategies a): increasing the dietary Fe bioavailability by diet ...
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 in Platelets - Studies of Synthesis, Activity, and Glycosylation Patterns
(2008-01-24)
Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is the main physiological inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator. Thus PAI-1 plays an important role in decreasing the fibrinolytic activity in human blood. PAI-1 is present ...
Assembly and Secretion of Atherogenic Lipoproteins
(2008-03-18)
The classical dyslipidemia seen in patients with type 2 diabetes is characterized by elevated serum triglycerides (TG), low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the appearance of small, dense low-density ...
Estrogen and raloxifene in experimental arthritis and osteoporosis
(2008-02-14)
ABSTRACT
In postmenopausal rheumatoid arthritis (RA), both the estrogen deficiency and the inflammatory disease contribute to the development of generalized osteoporosis. This leads to an increased risk of fracture, with ...
Vascular Wall Responses to Bypass Grafting - Studies in Mice
(2008-01-18)
Abstract
Vein grafts are frequently used in bypass surgery for treatment of coronary artery disease and lower limb ischemia. Unfortunately the long-term patency is impaired by vein graft stenoses due to intimal hyperplasia ...
Identification and imaging of lipids in tissues using TOF-SIMS
(2008-08-19)
Introduction: Normal lipid metabolism in the adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and aortic wall
is important for the physiological function of these tissues. Dyslipidemia that is often
associated with intake of high energy ...
The expression and function of CD25 B cells in man and in mice
(2008-05-15)
B cells play an important role both in the physiology and pathology of immune responses by production of antibodies, cytokines and by presentation of antigens. It has been shown that human CD25 expressing B cells display ...
T cell Function in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
(2008-10-02)
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart muscle disease characterized by dilatation of one or both ventricles together with decreased systolic function. Its etiology is still largely unknown. However, immunological alterations ...

Airway sensory hyperreactivity linked to capsaicin sensitivity. Definitions and epidemiology.
(2008-08-28)
Aims:
• To study the relationship between odour intolerance and capsaicin sensitivity and to develop a definition of airway sensory hyperreactivity (SHR).
• To study epidemiology of odour intolerance; particularly ...
