4. 2. On the regulation of hepatic cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in gallstone patients

   Author : Carl-Gustaf Hillebrant; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Bile acid synthesis; biliary lipids; cholesterol synthesis; cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase; cholesterol synthesis inhibitor; chenodeoxycholic acid; cholestyramine; 7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one; HMG CoA reductase; lathosterol; lipoproteins; lithocholic acid; plasma apheresis; ursodeoxycholic acid;

   Abstract : The liver plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, therefore also in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis and gallstone disease. The quantitatively most important way by which cholesterol is removed from the human body is via the bile, either as free cholesterol or after transformation to bile acids. READ MORE

5. 3. Studies on the effects of thyroid hormone on cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism

   Author : Ylva Bonde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Elevated plasma lipids, particularly cholesterol within low density lipoproteins, is an important risk factor for developing atherosclerosis which can cause angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Thyroid hormone (TH) has a strong influence on lipid metabolism and the aim of this thesis was to gain more insight into how TH modulates cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism. READ MORE

6. 4. Role of platelet-derived growth factor B in cholesterol and glucose metabolism

   Author : Tian Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGFB) is a critical molecule for recruiting pericytes. Due to the fundamental role of the pericytes in angiogenesis and vascular stability, PDGFB knockout mice die perinatally from severe hemorrhage and edema. READ MORE

7. 5. On the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and metabolism of sulphonylurea and its metabolites - with special reference to glibenclamide
