  2. 1. New insight into myocardin regulation and function in smooth muscle cells

    Author : Li Liu; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alternative splicing; Contractility; Inflammation; Muscarinic receptor; Myocardin-related transcription factors; Phenotypic modulation; Smooth muscle; SRF; WWTR1; YAP1;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are constituents of hollow inner organs. Their contractile function governs essential physiological functions, such as breathing, eating, blood pressure control, urination, and childbirth. READ MORE

  4. 2. Progesterone's effect on factors that influence gamete transport in the fallopian tube

    Author : Anna Bylander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Progesterone; Fallopian tube;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT The fallopian tube plays an important role for successful female reproduction as it transport gametes to the fertilization site, nourish the developing embryo and transport it to the uterus at the suitable time for implantation. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of progesterone in control of gamete transport. READ MORE

  5. 3. Genetic variation at the human tissue-type plasminogen activator locus

    Author : Per Ladenvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tissue-type plasminogen activator; single-nucleotide polymorphism; vascular release; myocardial infarction; enhancer; Sp1.;

    Abstract : Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is the key initiator of intravascular fibrinolysis. Family studies suggest that tPA release is regulated by hereditary factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. Glutathione in the brain. Studies on efflux and possible implications in neurotoxicity

    Author : Camilla Wallin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glutathione; excitotoxicity; hypoxia-ischemia; brain; rat; anoxia-aglycemia; g-glutamyl transpeptidase; glutamate; NMDA; oxidative stress; mitochondria; amino acids;

    Abstract : Neuronal cell death in acute insults such as stroke, trauma and epilepsy involves overactivation of glutamate receptors, calcium influx and increased formation of potentially toxic reactive oxygen species. Glutathione is a key component in the antioxidant defense system against reactive oxygen species. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanosensitive transcriptional regulation of gene expression in smooth muscle. Implications for health and disease

    Author : Fatima Daoud; Molekylär kärlfysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smooth muscle cell; phenotypic modulation; Yap Taz; MRTFA; hypertension; atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle participates in forming the wall of hollow organs, tracts, and blood vessels. Therefore, it plays a critical role in mediating vital functions in the body including regulation of blood pressure. READ MORE
