  2. 6. Retinal pigment epithelial cells, oxidative stress and lipofuscin : relation to age-related macular degeneration

    Author : Staffan Sundelin; Stefan Seregard; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : In developed countries, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of loss of central vision in people over the age of 65. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) appears to be the site of early pathological changes in AMD. READ MORE

  4. 7. LDL Oxidation Susceptibility and Its Relation To Antioxidants and Fatty Acids : A Clinical and Experimental Study

    Author : Bo Ziedén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease characterized by lipid deposits in the artery wall. These lipid deposits partly consist of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (LDL). Several lines of evidence indicate a role of oxidized LDL in atherogenesis. READ MORE

  5. 8. Lipid Composition and Deterioration in Light and Dark Muscle of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

    Author : Torbjörn Ingemansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Docosahexaenoic acid; lipid classes; fatty acids; muscle lipids; Palmitic acid; trout; differences; lipids; fish;

    Abstract : Nutritionally valuable lipids, including lipid classes and their fatty acids in light and dark muscle, have been determined and analyzed in farmed rainbow trout. Dark muscle was found to have a higher content of total lipids than light muscle, 7.3 wt% versus 3.0 wt%, which was mostly accounted for by neutral lipids, especially triacylglycerols. READ MORE

  6. 9. Studies on receptors for modified LDL in human monocytes and macrophages : a link between diabetes and atherosclerosis?

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes increases the risk for cardiovascular disease three- to fourfold. Because of the rise in diabetes prevalence there is a need for a better understanding of the link between diabetes and atherosclerosis. READ MORE

  7. 10. Thiol redox state in apoptosis : physiological and toxicant modulation

    Author : Stefan Nobel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Apoptosis is a physiological type of cell death used to regulate the number of cells during development and in adult organs. However, apoptosis can also be inappropriately activated or inhibited under pathological conditions. One of the critical mechanisms of apoptosis is the activity of cysteine proteases belonging to the caspase family. READ MORE
