7. α1-microglobulin – Therapeutic opportunities in kidney and erythrocyte pathology
Abstract : Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. The reasons behind the condition are diverse, and can result in, or contribute to, the severity of many diseases. The body has different protective mechanisms to reduce the oxidative burden, among them a protein called α1-microglobulin (A1M). READ MORE

8. Characterisation of human adipose tissue : ceramide metabolism, depot differences and evaluation of dysfunctionality
Abstract : Normal adipose tissue function is necessary for maintaining proper energy balance, as both excess and absence of this tissue lead to metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance. Adipose tissue can be dysfunctional in many ways, including disturbances in adipocyte size, lipolysis rate, adipokine secretion, inflammation, fibrosis or oxidative stress. READ MORE

9. Alpha-1-microglobulin, heme-binding protein, reductase and antioxidant
Abstract : This thesis describes structural and functional studies of alpha-1-microglobulin (a1m), a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein that is evolutionarily well-conserved and belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. The lipocalins are polypeptides of 160-190-amino acids that are folded into an 8-stranded beta-barrel forming a pocket with a hydrophobic interior. READ MORE
