  2. 11. Hematopoiesis, Kazal Inhibitors and Crustins in a Crustacean

    Author : Young-A Kim; Kenneth Soderhall; Irene Soderhall; Shun-ichiro Kawabata; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biochemistry; innate immunity; cytokine; hematopoietic tissue; ATP synthase β subunit; Kazal; antibacterial peptides; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Hemocytes are important as storage and producers of proteins of the innate immune defence, as well as actors of the cellular immune response. Therefore the hematopoietic process is critical for survival of most invertebrates. READ MORE

  4. 12. Nitric Oxide Synthase in Pancreatic Islets During Trauma and Parenteral Feeding

    Author : Saleem Qader; Islet cell physiology; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Gastroenterologi; Gastro-enterology; Pancreatitis; Ghrelin; TPN; cNOS; iNOS; PACAP; VIP; cAMP; Pancreatic islets; Insulin secretion;

    Abstract : The influence of trauma (acute pancreatitis) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on pancreatic islet hormone secretion in relation to islet expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated. Acute pancreatitis resulted in an impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) which was found to be parallelled by a marked expression of iNOS and an exaggerated NO production in the pancreatic islets.

  5. 13. Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in skeletal muscle during and after contraction

    Author : Marie Sandström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; glucose transport; contraction; ROS; AMPK; glycogen phosphorylase; glycogen synthase;

    Abstract : It is well known that exercise increases glucose transport into skeletal muscles. The regulation of this transport, however, is poorly understood. READ MORE

  6. 14. The importance of nitric oxide bioavailability and endothelial mechanisms for cardioprotection by pharmacological intervention during myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion

    Author : Andrey Gourine; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ATP sensitive K channels; endothelin-1; clevidipine; ETA receptor antagonist; glibenclamide; 5-hydroxydecanoic acid; infarct size; ischaemia; myeloperoxidase; nitric oxide; nitric oxide synthase; pig; preconditioning; rat; reperfusion.;

    Abstract : Myocardial ischaemia initiates complex severe cellular changes and, after a critical time period, myocardial cell death. Despite that restitution of coronary blood flow is an absolute pre-requisite for tissue survival, myocardial reperfusion per se will also increase irreversible damage in the jeopardised myocardium.

  7. 15. Enzymatic mechanisms in biotin synthesis : vitamin B6 catalysis and phosphoryl transfer

    Author : Jenny Sandmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : X-ray crystallography; biotin biosynthesis; pyridoxal-5 -phosphate; aminotransferase; aluminium fluoride; S-adenosyl-L-methionine; 7; 8-diaminopelargonic acid synthase; dethiobiotin synthetase; biotin; phosphoryl transfer; amiclenomycin.;

    Abstract : With the large number of pathogenic bacteria that have developed antibiotic resistance it is increasingly important to find new targets for antibiotics. Our interest in the biotin biosynthesis pathway originates from this drug design perspective. All organisms require biotin, but it is only synthesised in bacteria, in plants and in some fungi.
