  2. 1. Thyroid function and iodine nutrition in women during pregnancy and in their neonates : Studies among Sudanese subjects

    Author : Aboud Eltom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstetrics and gynaecology; odine; goitre; thyroid function; thyroglobulin; pregnancy; labour; newborns; Sweden; Sudan; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and women s diseases; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Abstract : The studies described in this thesis were carried out in Sudan and Sweden. Pregnant Sudanese women, who had a significantly lower urinary iodine concentration than their Swedish counterparts, showed significantly lower thyrotrophin (TSH) levels in weeks 36-39 of pregnancy and higher free thyroxine (FT4) levels both in weeks 20-24 and 36-39 of pregnancy than Swedish pregnant women.

  4. 2. Iodine intake and uptake in populations at risk for iodine deficiency

    Author : Sofia Manousou; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; iodine; pregnancy; lactation; bariatric surgery; urinary iodine concentration; thyroglobulin; breastmilk iodine concentration; iodine supplementation; Sweden;

    Abstract : Background: Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. Both iodine deficiency (ID) and iodine excess may be harmful. Iodine intake in Sweden is considered adequate for the general population due to iodization of table salt since 1936 but data on pregnant and breastfeeding women (i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterization of ERp29 : a novel secretion factor of endoplasmic reticulum

    Author : Ernest Sargsyan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : ERp29 is a ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum protein strongly conserved in mammalian species. The N-terminal domain of ERp29 is similar to the thioredoxin domain of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) lacking however the double-cysteine active site motif. The C-terminal domain is a novel five-helical fold. READ MORE

  7. 5. Unraveling the genetics of lymphocytic thyroiditis using the dog as a model

    Author : Katarina Sundberg; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The domestic dog, with its unique genetic structure formed by domestication and recent breed creation, has been proven to be an excellent model for mapping disease genes. In this thesis, we use the dog as a model to investigate the prevalence and genetic background of canine lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT), one of the most common immune related diseases in dogs.
