  2. 1. Localization of lipoprotein lipase in mouse pancreas, kidney and placenta : impact of metabolic disturbances on cellular distribution and activity regulation

    Author : Rakel Nyrén; Gunilla Olivecrona; Paolo Parini; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipoprotein lipase; pancreas; kidney; placenta; angiopoietin-like protein 4; high-fat diet; obesity; mice; PET CT; nutritional status; triglyceride; GPIHBP1; medicinsk och fysiologisk kemi; Medical and Physiological Chemistry;

    Abstract : Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the key enzyme for metabolism of triglycerides in plasma lipoproteins. In recent years many new facts about the enzyme and its regulation have been uncovered. The endothelial membrane protein GPIHBP1 translocates LPL through endothelial cells and holds the enzyme in place at the luminal side of the capillary endothelium. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular mechanisms of the kidney in health and disease

    Author : Kerstin Ebefors; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : kidney; gene expression; glomerulus; proteoglycans;

    Abstract : In 2010, 307 Swedish patients received a new kidney through transplantation, and the first of April 2011, 603 patients were on the kidney transplant waiting list. In Sweden over 8000 patients are presently in active uremic care with about half in dialysis and the other half with a functional kidney graft. READ MORE

    Keywords : Cell and molecular biology; peroxisome; proteomics; biomarker; aging; pollution assessment; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Peroxisome is a ubiquitous eukaryotic organelle with a single-layer membrane. It maintains various functions that differ depending on the species and cell types, as well as the environmental or developmental conditions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Preclinical studies of roscovitine

    Author : Marina Vita; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Roscovitine; Metabolism; Pharmacokinetics; LC-MS; Cdk-inhibitor; Toxicity;

    Abstract : Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are key enzymes implicated in vital functions of the cell including regulation of the cell cycle, apoptosis, transcription and differentiation. Abnormal regulation of these molecules has been correlated to several diseases, such as cancer, viral infections, neural disorders and kidney inflammations. READ MORE
