    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytoprotection; Beta-carotene; TBARS; TEAC; ABTS; antioxidant activity; secondarymetabolites; Highland plains; plants; photoprotection; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Certain climatologically-adverse conditions in the basin of the Poopo Lake, located on the high plateau of the Bolivian Altiplano, have prevented the existence of a reliable agricultural system and the impact on the population of the area has been severe. These problems have been the main motivation in choosing this region for this particular study. READ MORE

  4. 2. Measurement of sensitivity to DNA damaging agents

    Author : Sherin T Mathew; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intrinsic sensitivity; DNA damage; ionizing radiation; cell division;

    Abstract : There is a large inter-individual variation in intrinsic sensitivity in patients receiving treatment with DNA damaging agents. Cancer therapy exemplifies this problem where patients experience varying degree of normal tissue side effects in response to radiation or chemotherapy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Translational studies of molecular interactions in Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Ellen Hertz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Interactions between molecules are the basis of cellular function. In disease, these tightly regulated systems are often disturbed. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is recognized by protein aggregates in the brain of erroneously interacting molecules, directly linking the clinical picture to the molecular mechanisms. READ MORE

    Abstract : Aging is recognized as a major risk factor for many diseases. Thus, the identification of a means to target aging would bear great potential to improve human health and quality of life. READ MORE

  7. 5. Altered gene expression in the human airways during oxidative stress

    Author : Tiziana Dandrea; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nitrogen dioxide; Ozone; Oxidative stress; Gene expression; Redox signalling; GSH; Alveolar macrophages.;

    Abstract : The atmospheric accumulation of pollutant gases, such as N02 and ozone, has been associated with an increased airways hyper-reactivity within the healthy population. Moreover, those with conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases generally experience an exacerbation of their symptoms upon exposure to these noxious gases. READ MORE
