  2. 11. Retinoid metabolism and signalling in vascular smooth muscle cells

    Author : Pauline Ocaya; Allan Sirsjö; Andreas C. Gidlöf; William S. Blaner; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : all-trans Retinol; all-trans Retinoic acid; retinoid metabolism; proliferation; Vascular smooth muscle cells; CYP26; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a major role in cardiovascular diseases. In advanced atherosclerosis, blood flow is impaired due to reduced luminal diameter. Percutaneous vascular interventions, including balloon angioplasty and stent-application are commonly used for the re-establishment of luminal size and improvement of tissue perfusion. READ MORE

  4. 12. Energy metabolism in skeletal muscle during ischemia and reperfusion. Experimental and clinical aspects

    Author : Jonas Lundberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : energy metabolism; skeletal muscle; ischemia; reperfusion; MRS; hypothermia; singlet oxygen energy.;

    Abstract : Microsurgical operations, using free vascularised transfer of tissues, induce an obligatory period of ischemia followed by reperfusion. The degree of ischemia and reperfusion injury is dependent on the ischemia time. READ MORE

  5. 13. Skeletal muscle plasticity and energy metabolism

    Author : Leonidas S Lundell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle is remarkable in its ability to adjust to our needs. It can change its energy stores and usage, as well as its total mass. Furthermore, skeletal muscle adapts to deactivate reactive oxygen species produced, which in turn can both damage cells and convey signals. READ MORE

  6. 14. Skeletal muscle metabolism in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : A study of carbohydrate and fat metabolism

    Author : Per Jacobsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deterioration of skeletal muscle metabolism is reported in both respiratory and non-respiratory muscles. This deterioration may contribute to both the development of respiratory failure and general disability often seen in severe COPD patients. READ MORE

  7. 15. Phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle in organ culture

    Author : Anders Lindqvist; Islet cell physiology; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smooth muscle; proliferation; PDGF; Physiology; energy metabolism; calcium; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Contraction of blood vessels for the regulation of blood flow and pressure is dependent on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) located in the medial layer of the vascular wall. Adult, differentiated VSMC have a well developed contractile system and a low rate of proliferation. READ MORE
