  2. 21. Exercise and angiogenic growth factors in human skeletal muscle

    Author : Thomas Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adapatation; angiogenesis; angiogenic growth factors; blood flow; gene expression; gene regulation; human; ischaemia; skeletal muscle; training;

    Abstract : Long-term electrical stimulation and endurance exercise increase the amount of capillaries in skeletal muscle. VEGF-A is a well-characterized stimulatory angiogenic growth factor and has shown to play an important role in angiogenesis in pathological conditions in humans and in physiological conditions in animal models.

  4. 22. Novel factors affecting clearance of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins from blood

    Author : Stefan K Nilsson; Gunilla Olivecrona; Aivar Lookene; Ko Willems van Dijk; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lipoprotein; triacylglycerol; apolipoprotein A-V; ANGPTL; Cardiovascular medicine; Kardiovaskulär medicin; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Apolipoprotein (apo) A-V is the most recently discovered member of a protein family responsible for the structure and metabolic fate of plasma lipoproteins. While most of the apolipoproteins are well characterized with regard to structure, interactions and function, the role of apoA-V is not well understood. READ MORE

  5. 23. Endothelial function in isolated small arteries from women at reproductive age and after menopause : possibilities for improvement

    Author : Eimantas Svedas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Alterations in vascular function are present in patients with Preeclampsia (PE) and in women after menopause. PE is a syndrome peculiar to human pregnancy that adversely affects the mother by endothelial dysfunction and the fetus due to impaired uteroplacental blood flow. READ MORE

  6. 24. Lipoprotein lipase activity is reduced in dialysis patients. Studies on possible causal factors

    Author : Dana Mahmood; Bernd Stegmayr; Gunilla Olivecrona; Per Ola Attman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemodialysis; lipoprotein lipase; ANGPTL3; ANGPTL4; citrate dialysate; dialyzer.; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in patients on chronic haemodialysis (HD). One main contributing factor is renal dyslipidaemia, characterized by an impaired catabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins with accumulation of atherogenic remnant particles. READ MORE
