  2. 16. Human adipose tissue. Genes predominantly expressed in the visceral depot and in hypertrophic adipocytes

    Author : Jenny Palming; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : obesity; type 2 diabetes; adipose tissue depots; complement system; plasma cell; Fc receptor; serum amyloid A; NAD P H:quinone oxidoreductase 1; DNA microarray;

    Abstract : The obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide and obesity is closely linked to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Both visceral fat accumulation and enlarged adipocyte size are risk factors for obesity related metabolic disorders. READ MORE

  4. 17. Early Immunostimulatory Effects of IgE- and IgG Antibodies

    Author : Fredrik Hjelm; Birgitta Heyman; Sandra Kleinau; Robert Harris; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Immunology; Antibodies; Fc receptors; Antigen presentation; B cells; T cells; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Antibodies have the ability to influence their own production in a process called antibody feedback regulation. Depending on the type of antigen and the subclass of the antibody, the outcome of feedback regulation can be complete suppression or several hundred-fold enhancement of the antibody response.

  5. 18. Gastric acid secretion and gut peptides : mechanisms involved in inflammatory response

    Author : Tobias Rudholm Feldreich; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The regulation of gastric acid secretion is complex and involves endocrine, paracrine, and neurocrine mechanisms. Among these, the interconnecting cross-talk between different gut peptides is an important part in the control of acid secretion. READ MORE

  6. 19. The effect of Gal alpha(1,3)gal glycopeptide-conjugates and human serum on HIV-1 infection and replication

    Author : Maria Fernanda Perdomo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The first step in the entry of HIV-1 is the binding of the viral envelope glycoprotein (gp120) to the CD4 molecule expressed mainly on T helper cells. Upon binding, gp120 undergoes a series of conformational changes that expose inner epitopes, which in turn facilitate binding to the viral co-receptors (CCR5 or CXCR4). READ MORE

  7. 20. Allergic inflammation in children with pet allergy and asthma : mechanisms, markers and clinical consequences

    Author : Karin Lönnkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Asthma; animal dander allergy; children; eosinophils; ECP; EPO; EPX EDN; ENO; bronchial hyperresponsiveness; sputum; nasal lavage; budesonide; withdrawal.;

    Abstract : Immunological background: Allergic inflammation is a multiple-step process with many actors, where eosinophils and the release of their granula proteins play an important role. The recruitment of eosinophils is a crucial event in the inflammatory process. READ MORE
