  2. 1. Studies of sterol 12alpha-hydroxylase (CYP8B1) : distribution and role for cholesterol homeostasis and gallstone formation

    Author : Jin Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CYP8B1; CY7P7A1; bile acid; cholesterol homeostasis; gallstone; nuclear receptor; cellular distribution; cholesterol hypersecretion; ABCG5 G8; SREBP2; cholesterol absorption; diabetes mellitus; anti-atherogenesis;

    Abstract : Bile acids are essential physiological molecules which carry out multiple functions such as facilitating the absorption of dietary lipids and regulating the metabolism of cholesterol and bile acids. The formation of bile represents the major route for elimination of excess cholesterol, either by conversion of cholesterol into bile acids or excretion of intact cholesterol in mixed micelles.

  4. 2. Accelerated granular matter simulation

    Author : Da Wang; Martin Servin; Jin Ooi; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; discrete element method; nonsmooth contact dynamics; multibody dynamics; granular media; simulation; projected Gauss-Seidel; validation; iron ore pellets; pelletising balling circuit; model reduction; design optimization;

    Abstract : Modeling and simulation of granular matter has important applications in both natural science and industry. One widely used method is the discrete element method (DEM). It can be used for simulating granular matter in the gaseous, liquid as well as solid regime whereas alternative methods are in general applicable to only one. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of Intracellular Calcium in Brown Adipocytes

    Author : Shi-Jin Zhang; Lawrence C.H Wang; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

    Abstract : Intracellular Ca2+ is considered a primary regulator of cell function. In the present study, the control and the effects of intracellular Ca2+ in brown adipocytes have been investigated. Cytosolic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) are the resultant of the activity of Ca2+ transport systems. READ MORE
