  2. 1. Oxidative Stress, Angiogenesis and Inflammation in Normal Pregnancy and Postpartum

    Author : Maria Palm; Ove Axelsson; Samar Basu; Charlotta Grunewald; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Angiogenesis; inflammation; IL-6; F2-isoprostanes; oxidative stress; Pentraxin 3; PGF2α; PlGF; pregnancy; sFlt1; TNF-α; VEGF-A; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The aims were to investigate oxidative stress (I), angiogenesis (II) and inflammation (III-IV) in healthy women during pregnancy and postpartum. Oxidative stress was estimated by measurement of 8-iso-PGF2α and the antioxidants α- and γ-tocopherol. READ MORE

  4. 2. The role of VEGF family in angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis

    Author : Xiaojuan Yang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tumor growth is dependent on angiogenesis, and cells in tumor tissues produce various angiogenic factors to induce neovascularization. Among tumor-derived angiogenic factors, members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family are most frequently and highly expressed in various solid tumors. READ MORE

  5. 3. The impact of vascular structure and function on tumor growth, retinopathy, and antiangiogenic therapy

    Author : Eva-Maria Hedlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tumors produce multiple angiogenic factors to stimulate neovascularization that is essential for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Despite the known angiogenic functions of each individual factor, the interplay between these angiogenic factors in the tumor local environment and in modulation of the host functions remain poorly understood.

  6. 4. Mechanistic study of antiangiogenic agents in cancer therapy

    Author : Yin Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tumor growth and metastasis are dependent on angiogenesis that constantly alters the tumor microenvironment. Based on the antiangiogenic principle proposed more than 40 years ago by Dr. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biochemical and Epidemiological Studies of Early-Onset and Late-Onset Pre-Eclampsia

    Author : Anna-Karin Wikström; Matts Olovsson; Ulf Eriksson; Solveig Norden-Lindeberg; Göran Berg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Obstetrics and gynaecology; pre-eclampsia; proteinuria; albumin-creatinine ratio; ischaemic heart disease; angiogenesis; sFlt1; oxidative stress; isoprostane; PAI-1; PAI-2; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar;

    Abstract : Biochemical and epidemiological aspects of pre-eclampsia were investigated, with the main focus on possible pathophysiological differences between early-onset and late-onset disease.In pre-eclamptic women poor correlation was found between albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in a random urine sample and total amount of albumin in a 24-hour urine collection.
