  2. 1. Selenoprotein P. Nutritional and clinical aspects

    Author : Marie Persson Moschos; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Food and drink technology; oxidant defense; LDL-apheresis; European survey; selenium supplementation; cancer risk; selenium status; radioimmunoassay; selenoprotein P; human plasma; Livsmedelsteknik; Fysicumarkivet A:1999:Persson Moschos;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the nutritional regulation and clinical significance of selenoprotein P (SeP) in human plasma of healthy and diseased subjects was investigated. For the analysis of SeP, a radioimmunoassay was developed using polyclonal antibodies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on antioxidant and lipid lowering effects on human microcirculation

    Author : Qing Lu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Microcirculation; oxidative stress; antioxidant; smoking. hypercholesterolemia; diabetes; vitamin C; Nacetylcysteine; lipid lowering; capillary blood flow velocity; post reactive hyperemia; endothelial function.;

    Abstract : In previous work from this laboratory, vital microscopy was successfully used to study rnicrocirculatcry effects of hypercholesterolemia in a rabbit model. Hypercholesterolemia caused a dramatic depression of the blood flow velocity in the conjunctiva microvessels of the rabbits. READ MORE

  5. 3. Platelet function in hyperlipoproteinemia and effects of lipid-lowering treatment

    Author : Anders Bröijersén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Coronary atherosclerosis and thrombus formation on fissuring atherosclerotic plaques are key events in the development of coronary artery disease. Hyperlipoproteinemia induces atherosclerosis but may also exert direct prothrombotic effects via platelet activation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Familial hypercholesterolemia in Sweden : genetic and metabolic studies

    Author : Suzanne Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Familial hypercholesterolemia; LDL receptor gene mutations; LDL cholesterol; bile acids; autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia; growth hormone; LDL clearance.;

    Abstract : Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is inherited as an autosomal codominant disease, usually caused by mutations in the LDL receptor (LDLR) gene. Heterozygous FH is a common disease with a prevalence of about 1/500 in most populations. Clinically, FH is characterized by elevated LDL cholesterol, tendon xanthomas and premature atherosclerosis.
