  2. 1. Neutrophil phagocytosis and secretion : The role of calcium and the cytoskeleton

    Author : Lena Serrander; Joel D. Ernst; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Neutrophils assure rapid removal of bacteria by a variety of processes. They crawl out of the vessels, phagocytose the bacteria and kill them by secretion of bactericidal substances and production of oxidative metabolites. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of ARF1 and phospholipase D on the assembly and secretion of apoB-100 containing lipoproteins

    Author : Lennart Asp; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ApoB; ARF1; Phospholipase D; Lipoproteins; VLDL; ; Lipid droplets.;

    Abstract : Hydrophobic insoluble lipids such as triglycerides and cholesterol ester are transported in spherical, water-soluble molecular complexes called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are secreted mainly from the liver and intestine into the plasma for distribution to peripheral tissues. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on the assembly of cytosolic lipid droplets. Importance of Phospholipase D and ADRP in the process

    Author : Denis Marchesan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Lipid droplets; triglycerides; caveolin; Phospholipase D PLD ; adipocyte differentiation related protein ADRP ; EGCG;

    Abstract : The storage of triglycerides in cells such as adipocytes, liver or muscle cells is of great physiological importance, having implications for our most important metabolic diseases such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes. A common denominator in these diseases is the insulin resistance, which is also highly related to the production of atherogenic lipoproteins and the development of atherosclerosis and consequently cardio-vascular diseases.

  6. 4. Phosphatidylethanol in blood as a marker of alcohol abuse

    Author : Arthur Varga; Associativ inlärning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PKC; MCV; ELSD; HPLC; red blood cell; phospholipase D; phosphatidylethanol; ethanol; alcohol abuse; state marker; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Biological markers offer a way of assessing ethanol intake and determining whether a health problem is alcohol related. This study investigated the use of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) in blood as a new marker of alcohol abuse. READ MORE

  7. 5. Phosphatidylethanol - formation and degradation in blood and organs

    Author : Steina Aradottir; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diagnostik; Public health; Diagnostics; organs; blood; HPLC; in vitro; in vivo; human; rat; phosphatidylethanol; phospholipase D; alcohol; ethanol; epidemiology; Folkhälsa; epidemiologi;

    Abstract : Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is an abnormal phospholipid formed exclusively by the action of phospholipase D (PLD) in the presence of ethanol. The degradation of PEth is slow and due to its accumulation in some cells the possibility to use PEth as marker of ethanol intake has been proposed. READ MORE
