  2. 1. Conctraction-mediating receptors in human peripheral vessels with special reference to veins and lymphatics

    Author : Trygve Sjöberg; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human; arteries; veins; lymphatis; contraction; in vitro; in vivo; adrenergic receptors; noradrenaline; cirazoline; phenylephrine; clonidine; calcium antagonists; nifedipine; diltiazem; prostaglandins; thromboxane A2; U-46619; BM-13.505; indomethacin;

    Abstract : By means of a myograph, postjunctional alpha-adrenoceptors were characterized in human superficial epigastric arteries and veins obtained from health subjects. The rank order of potency of subtype selective agonists could not be used for receptor characterization in these vessels, whereas antagonists gave distinct results. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth in renal transplant patients : a clinical, histological and experimental study

    Author : Biniyam Wondimu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cyclosporin A gingival overgrowth gingival fibroblasts nephrotoxicity renal transplant saliva;

    Abstract : Cyclosporine A (CsA) is widely used as an effective immunosuppressive agent to prevent rejection of organ transplants, as well as in the treatment of patients with various autoimmune diseases. The clinical use of CsA, however, is associated with adverse side effects, including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, hypertension, and neurotoxicity as well as gingival overgrowth. READ MORE

  6. 4. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation in essential hypertension

    Author : Jonas Millgård; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; endothelium; hypertension; human; blood pressure; vasodilation; ACE-inhibition; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Internal Medicine; invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : The vascular endothelium plays a crucial role in the regulation of several homeostatic parameters in the circulation. In this thesis, the influences of essential hypertension and antihypertensive agents on endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDV) were evaluated in the human forearm circulation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cytokines and bone : On the role of IL-1 and IL-6 in bone metabolism

    Author : Eva Bornefalk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; bone; cytokines; osteoporosis; cAMP; IL-1; IL-6; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-l) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The regulation of cytokine release is unclear, and the mechanism of cytokine induced bone resorption remains to be elucidated. READ MORE
