  2. 6. Genetic Factors and Dietary Salt Intake as Determinants of Blood Pressure and Risk of Primary Hypertension

    Author : Fredrik Wowern; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood Pressure; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; Genetics; Salt; Hypertension;

    Abstract : Blood pressure (BP) and development of hypertension (HT) are determined by both genetic and environmental factors. The specific genetic etiology of these two entities has remained enigmatic despite large efforts. In addition, daily salt intake seems to predispose for certain individuals to develop HT. READ MORE

  4. 7. Development of Salt-Sensitive Hypertension in Hydronephrosis

    Author : Mattias Carlström; Erik Persson; Nils Wåhlin; Russell Brown; Göran Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physiology; blood pressure; nephrectomy; nitric oxide; oxidative stress; renal function; renin angiotensin system; salt-sensitivity; telemetry; tubuloglomerular feedback; ureteral obstruction; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Hydronephrosis, due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction, is a common condition in infants with an incidence of approximately 0.5-1%. During the last decade, the surgical management of non-symptomatic hydronephrosis has become more conservative, and the long-term physiological consequences of this new policy are unclear. READ MORE

  5. 8. Molten Salt Electrolytes for Calcium Batteries

    Author : Johanna Timhagen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Batteries; Metal anodes; Molten salt electrolytes; Calcium;

    Abstract : Batteries are in higher demand than ever before as well as increased requirements in terms of energy and power density. The desire for higher energy density has meant that electrolytes are pushed above their electrochemical stability limits and hence they decompose, but typically this is under control and a new beneficial phase is created at the electrode surface; the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).

  6. 9. Salt-inducible kinases in adipose tissue

    Author : Johanna Sernevi Säll; Proteinfosforylering; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; salt-inducible kinase; SIK; SIK2; fettväv; fettceller; insulinsignalering; glukosupptag; fetma; insulinresistens; salt-inducible kinase; SIK; SIK2; adipose tissue; adipocytes; insulin signalling; glucose uptake; obesity; insulin resistance;

    Abstract : Obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are metabolic diseases that increase rapidly in the modern society. The underlying mechanisms are complex and involve both environmental and genetic factors. Adipose tissue is an important organ for maintaining whole body energy homeostasis. READ MORE

  7. 10. De-icing salt and the roadside environment : Air-borne exposure, damage to Norway spruce and system monitoring

    Author : Göran Blomqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : road; de-icing salt; air-borne; environmental impact; vegetation damage; Norway spruce; seedling; follow-up; monitoring; indicator;

    Abstract : After decades of investigation, we still have to deal withthe problem of environmental effects of the use of de-icingsalt on roads. Lacking useful indicators of the system, westill do not know the environmental utility of ameliorativemeasures taken. READ MORE
