  2. 1. Lysophosphatidic acid : Physiological effects and structure-activity relationships

    Author : Ulrika K. Nilsson; Samuel Svensson; Karin E. Bornfeldt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Lysophospholipids pharmacology; physiology; structure-activity relationship; muscle; smooth; drug effects; myometrium; norepinephrine; epinephrine; signal transduction; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Lipids havepreviously been considered primarily as building blocks of the cell membrane, but are now also recognized as important cell signaling molecules. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a glycerophospholipid consisting of a phosphate head group, a linker region, and a lipophilic tail. READ MORE

  4. 2. Vascular effects of prostacyclin in cat skeletal muscle and in the traumatised rat brain

    Author : Peter Bentzer; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reflection coefficient; cerebral blood flow; hydraulic conductivity; oedema; capilary filtration coefficient; endothelin-1; ATP-dependent potassium channels; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Disturbances in microvascular function may be important for tissue damage in many disease states. Prostacyclin, a substance produced by endothelial cells, is important for the maintenance of normal vascular homeostasis and is a potential drug for treatment of microvascular dysfunction, but indications and optimal dosage remains to be established.

  5. 3. Novel properties of mature adipocytes in obesity and hyperinsulinemia

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

    Abstract : Adipose tissue expansion and dysfunction, which leads to obesity and related metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes and hypertension) are currently the most costly challenges for public health, yet the mechanisms underlying adipocyte functional dysregulation have not been fully elucidated .

  6. 4. Diverse cyclic dinucleotide signals regulate Escherichia coli lifestyle transition

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

    Abstract : Bacteria have the ability to change their lifestyle to adapt to various environmental conditions. Cyclic dinucleotides (cDNs) are ubiquitous second messengers that can regulate fundamental lifestyle switches, such as motility versus sessility and acute versus chronic virulence, in bacteria.

  7. 5. Laminin of platelets and leukocytes : molecular characterization, integrin receptors and functional roles

    Author : Tarekegn Geberhiwot; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Laminins are multifunctional, multidomain glycoproteins found predominantly in basement membranes. They are [alpha]/[beta]/[gamma] heterotrimers assembled from known chains. To date, twelve cell- and tissue-specific laminin isoforms have been reported laminins play at least two essential roles. READ MORE
