  4. 17. Direct and phagocyte-mediated lipid peroxidation of lung surfactant by group B streptococci and other bacteria : protective effect of antioxidants

    Author : Rabea K L Bouhafs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Lung surfactant; lipid peroxidation; phagocytes; group B streptococci; lung infection; superoxide; nitric oxide; reactive oxygen species and antioxidants.;

    Abstract : Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), caused by surfactant deficiency, is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in preterm neonates. Further, infants with systemic neonatal infection or pneumonia often have signs of RDS. READ MORE

  5. 18. Effects of Antioxidant and Lipid Lowering Treatment on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease : With special reference to Mixed Tocopherols and Stable Fish Oil

    Author : Meilin Liu; Afaf Kamal-Eldin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Cardiovascular disease; Antioxidants; Tocopherols; Endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase; Superoxide dismutase; Protein kinase C; Fish oils; Fatty acids; Simvastatin; Lipoprotein; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; rättsmedicin; Forensic Medicine;

    Abstract : Vitamin E in food, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and lipid lowering treatment with statins have been found to decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiac death. However, clinical trials revealed no beneficial effect of intake of alpha-tocopherol alone. READ MORE

  6. 19. Cell death in atherosclerosis

    Author : Milita Crisby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; carotid artery stenosis; ischemic stroke; apoptosis; necrosis; lipid peroxidation; plaque stability; pravastatin; inflammation; 27-[alpha]-hydroxylase;

    Abstract : Rupture of atherosclerotic lesions is recognized as the major cause of acute cerebrovascular and coronary syndromes. The characteristics of the typical vulnerable plaque include increased inflammatory cells at the shoulder region, a large lipid core, a thin fibrous cap with few collagen fibers and smooth muscle cells.

  7. 20. The vascular response to oxidative and mechanical stress

    Author : Federico Ben Calara; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; inflammation; smooth muscle cells; low density lipoprotein; oxidized low density lipoprotein; lipid peroxidation; antioxidants; HDL; caveolae; phenotype modulation; balloon injury; immunization; growth factors;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, which is one of leading causes of death in the Western world. The study of the vascular response to initiators of inflammation can lead us to a better understanding of the basic mechanisms that lead to the development of this disease. Balloon injured arteries develop a neointima. READ MORE
