  2. 21. Pathomechanism of diabetic nephropathy

    Author : Anna Körner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : diabetic nephropathy; hyperflltration; Na ; K - ATPase; Dahl rats; salt sensitive hypertension; glomerulosclerosis; polyol pathway activation; oxidative stress;

    Abstract : Diabetic nephropathy is today the most common cause of end stage renal failure. The risk for developing overt diabetic nephropathy is considerably reduced by antihypertensive treatment, and adequate control of blood glucose. However, there is a need for additional and even more efficient tools to prevent this complication of diabetes. READ MORE

  4. 22. Genetic epidemiological studies of the functional somatic syndromes : chronic widespread pain and chronic fatigue

    Author : Kenji Kato; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : functional somatic syndrome; chronic widespread pain; fibromyalgia; chronic fatigue; comorbidity; twins; genetic factors; environmental factors; sex differences; personality; stress;

    Abstract : Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are two symptom-defined conditions with many physical symptoms in common, such as muscle pain, fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and impairment in memory or concentration. These two conditions often co-occur and frequently co-exist with other symptom-defined conditions (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 23. Characterization of Gcn5 histone acetyltransferase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Author : Anna Johnsson; Anthony Wright; Mattias Mannervik; Södertörns högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The organisation of eukaryotic DNA into chromatin provides a natural barrier that prevents full access to the DNA thereby inhibiting events such as transcription, replication and repair. In order for these DNA-related events to occur, the chromatin needs to be modified by chromatin remodelling or, by reversible post-translational modifications. READ MORE

  6. 24. DNA microarray approaches to understanding the regulation and evolution of gene expression networks

    Author : Yongtao Xue-Franzen; Södertörns högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : DNA microarray technology allows biological and medical research to shift from investigation of individual functions of a few related genes to the whole genome level. This creates opportunities for discovery of complex and coordinated transcriptional networks in biological systems. READ MORE

  7. 25. Susceptibility to Acute Decompensated Heart Failure in Two Common Mouse Strains

    Author : Mediha Becriovic-Agic; Michael Hultström; Lena Jonasson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by an inability of the heart to meet oxygen demands of the body. During the initial stage of heart failure development compensatory mechanisms are activated to help the heart sustain proper function. Over time these compensatory mechanisms become inadequate resulting in decompensation. READ MORE
