  2. 16. Biomarkers of one-carbon metabolism in colorectal cancer risk

    Author : Björn Gylling; Richard Palmqvist; Katarina Bälter; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colorectal cancer; one-carbon metabolism; biomarkers; folate; epidemiology; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi;

    Abstract : One-carbon metabolism, a network of enzymatic reactions involving the transfer of methyl groups, depends on B-vitamins as cofactors, folate as a methyl group carrier, and amino acids, betaine, and choline as methyl group donors. One-carbon metabolism influences many processes in cancer initiation and development such as DNA synthesis, genome stability, and histone and epigenetic methylation. READ MORE

  4. 17. Beyond the established risk factors of myocardial infarction : lifestyle factors and novel biomarkers

    Abstract : Age, male sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and obesity are considered as established risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Several of these established cardiovascular risk factors are strongly influenced by lifestyle. READ MORE

  5. 18. Biomarkers in Multiple Sclerosis - Monitoring disease activity and treatment afficacy

    Author : Lenka Nováková Nyrén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; biomarkers; multiple sclerosis; neurodegeneration; inflammation; treatment;

    Abstract : The pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is complex with the presence of inflammation and neurodegeneration in all stages of the disease. The disease course, treatment response and outcome are highly variable in MS. READ MORE

  6. 19. Epidemiology of food hypersensitivity in school children : validation with double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges and biomarkers

    Author : Anna Winberg; Christina West; Eva Rönmark; Sibylle Koletzko; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; food hypersensitivity; schoolchildren; epidemiology; food challenges; biomarkers;

    Abstract : Background: This thesis focuses on the incidence and remission of reported food hypersensitivity in schoolchildren followed from 8 to 12 -years of age and the prevalence of hypersensitivity to milk, egg, cod and wheat among 12-year olds investigated by reported data, clinical investigation and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges and biomarkers.Methods: The studies are mainly based on a population based cohort recruited in 2006 from three municipalities in Northern Sweden.

  7. 20. Systems Biology Based Approaches to Identify Biomarkers in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis

    Author : Hui Wang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glucocorticoids; Seasonal allergic rhinitis; Biomarkers; Gene expression microarray analysis; Proteomics; Multivariate analysis; Pathway analysis;

    Abstract : Glucocorticoids (GC) are the most effective anti-inflammatory treatment for seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). However, a few patients with SAR show poor response to GC treatment. Hence, there is a clinical need to find biomarkers to predict and monitor treatment response. READ MORE
