  2. 1. Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure

    Author : Malin Lindbom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Energy metabolism; Creatine; Congestive heart failure; Myocardial infarction; Ventricular arrhythmias; Cardiac remodeling; apolipoprotein B; Lipid metabolism;

    Abstract : The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances in the myocardial energy metabolism. READ MORE

  4. 2. Intracellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle fatigue : role of creatine kinase

    Author : Anders Dahlstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle fatigue; creatine kinase; inorganic phosphate; adenosine diphosphate;

    Abstract : During intense physical activity the maximal power output of skeletal muscles is reduced, a condition described as muscle fatigue. The cause of impaired muscle function seen in fatigue is multifactorial. READ MORE

  5. 3. Myocardial metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure

    Author : Truls Råmunddal; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Myocardial metabolism; Heart failure; Myocardial infarction; Lipotoxic heart disease; Apolipoprotein B; Arrhythmias; Cardiac reserve; Creatine metabolism;

    Abstract : Abstract The heart is an organ heavily dependent on exogenous lipids for the oxidative production of adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) and therefore maintenance of normal cellular energy homeostasis. However, high energy flux organs such as the heart must closely match lipid import and utilization or otherwise lipids will accumulate in the cardiomyocytes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Infrared spectroscopic studies : from small molecules to large

    Author : Nadejda Eremina; Andreas Barth; Silvia Maria Doglia; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Infrared spectroscopy; transcription factors; DNA; creatine kinase; CaATPase; water; ligand binding; biofarmaci; Biopharmaceutics;

    Abstract : Infrared light (IR) was first discovered by Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel in 1800. However, until 1940’s, molecular IR studies involved only water and small organic molecules, because of the long measurement times. READ MORE

  7. 5. Perioperative Myocardial Damage and Morbidity after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

    Author : Johnny Steuer; Elisabeth Ståhle; Bertil Lindahl; Gunnar Engström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; coronary surgery; creatine kinase; magnetic resonance imaging; morbidity; mortality; perioperative myocardial infarction; troponin; women; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : The aims of this project were to investigate the impact of perioperative myocardial damage on morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), to determine whether biochemical marker levels after CABG correlate to perioperative myocardial infarct size, and to assess the long-term morbidity after CABG, in particular to determine whether women do worse.The studies were conducted in patients who had undergone isolated, primary CABG.
