  2. 11. Structure and function of microbial communities in acid sulfate soil and the terrestrial deep biosphere

    Author : Xiaofen Wu; Mark Dopson; Ricardo Amils; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular phylogeny; acid sulfate soils; metal; acidophiles; deep biosphere; oligotrophy; biofilm formation; metagenome; binning; metabolism; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the use of different DNA sequencing technologies to investigate the structure and function of microbial communities in two extreme environments, boreal acid sulfate soil and the terrestrial deep biosphere.The first of the two investigated environments was soils containing un-oxidized metal sulfides that are termed ‘potential acid sulfate soil’ (PASS) materials.

  4. 12. The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism and fracture healing

    Author : Fredrik Nyquist; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kirurgi; traumatology; orthopaedics; Surgery; fracture prediction.; fracture healing; bone mineral density; Alcohol; post-traumatic osteopenia; fracture; ortopedi; traumatologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

    Abstract : The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism, fracture and fracture healing was evaluated in men and male rats by measurements of bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical markers and biomechanical testings. Retrospectively, 199 male patients hospitalized for tibia shaft fractures were studied. Forty-nine were judged as problem drinkers. READ MORE

  5. 13. Intestinal adaption in response to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery

    Author : Erik Elias; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obesity; bariatric surgery; proteomic analysis; intestinal permeability; calcium; bone mineral density; lipid metabolism;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Obesity is a condition with increasing prevalence that leads to morbidity, decreased quality of life and reduced life expectancy. The only effective evidence-based treatment is bariatric surgery. READ MORE

  6. 14. The role of FGF23/Klotho in mineral metabolism and chronic kidney disease

    Author : Hannes Olauson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden of growing incidence and prevalence. As renal function declines disturbances in mineral metabolism, such as hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism, inevitably develop. These metabolic changes are closely associated with poor prognosis and survival. READ MORE

  7. 15. Sex steroid metabolism and body composition

    Author : Charlotte Swanson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : UDP glucuronosyltranferases; polymorphisms; androgens; glucuronidated androgen metabolites; fat mass; bone; metabolic risk factors; population study;

    Abstract : Background: The bioactive androgens testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) regulate bone and fat mass in men. The effects of androgens are largely determined by the rate of their synthesis and inactivation. READ MORE
