  2. 21. Food intake, fibrinolysis and risk factors for cardiovascular disease : studies with special focus on plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1)

    Author : Birgitta Sundell-Rånby; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Body build; diet; fiber; fibrinolysis; glucose; insulin; lipids; obesity; plasminogen activator inhibitor;

    Abstract : Elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) activity levels, hyperlipemia, hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance and obesity, in particular central obesity, are all related to increased risk for the development of cardiovascular disease.Some risk factors are known to be and shown to be influenced by dietary habits.

  4. 22. The significance of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) in tumour growth and Linomide-induced upregulation of u-PA's endogenous inhibitor PAI-2

    Author : Anita Billström; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reproduction; andrology; gynaecology; Obstetrics; roquinimex; Linomide; cancer; prostate cancer; PAI-2; plasmin; Plasminogen activators; u-PA; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : The progressive process of tumour invasion and generation of metastases is the primary cause of death for most patients with cancer. Some of the regulatory components of this progressive process are adhesion, migration, and proteolysis. READ MORE

  5. 23. Endogenous tissue-type plasminogen activator andendothelial function in vivo. A clinical perspective

    Author : Thorarinn Gudnason; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : tissue-type plasminogen activator; endothelial function; age; vasodilation; chronic heart failure; coronary artery disease; local regulation; perfused-forearm model;

    Abstract : Endogenous fibrinolysis is initiated by the glycoprotein tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), which is released from the vascular endothelium. Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is the main inhibitor of tPA. READ MORE

  6. 24. On the Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (t-PA) -7,351C>T Enhancer Polymorphism. Importance for endothelial t-PA gene expression and arterial thrombotic disease

    Author : Anna Tjärnlund-Wolf; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : tissue-type plasminogen activator; plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1; polymorphism; endothelium; Sp1; gene expression; myocardial infarction; ischemic stroke;

    Abstract : Local endothelial release of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is an important thromboprotective mechanism. Earlier work by our group has identified a common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the t-PA locus (-7,351C>T), located within a GC-box in the retinoic acid (RA) and steroid hormone responsive t-PA enhancer.

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease in man and is also associated gastric cancer. The spiral shaped H. pylori moves through the gastric mucous layer and colonises the gastric epithelial cells. H. READ MORE
