The ultrastructural changes in the pyramidal neurons of the CA1 region of the hippocampus were studied 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h following a transient 10 min period of cerebral ischemia induced by common carotid occlusion combined with hypotension. The pyramidal neurons showed delayed neuronal death (DND), i.e. at 24 h and 48 h postischemia few structural alterations were noted in the light micros
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly prevalent complex diseases that result from lifestyle and genetic factors. Gene-lifestyle interactions are also believed to contribute to the etiology of these diseases. The aim of this thesis was to investigate gene-lifestyle interactions using the strongest T2D and CVD susceptibility genetic loci and to understand the causal natur
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is currently the second most common neurodegenerative disorder (after Alzheimer’s disease). PD is diagnosed on its motor symptoms, which include akinesia, bradykinesia, rigidity, postural imbalance and resting tremor. It is well established that the motor symptoms develop due to lack of dopamine in the striatum. This is caused by progressive degeneration of dopaminergic ne

Stress, such as heat-shock, hypoxia and hypoglycemia, inhibits the initiation of protein synthesis. The effects of heat-shock on protein synthesis, eucaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) activity, protein kinase C (PKC), and casein kinase II (CKII) activities were studied in primary cortical neuronal cultures. In neurons exposed to heat-shock at 44°C for 20 min, protein synthesis is inhibited by m
Abstract— Growth factors stimulate cellular protein synthesis, but the intracellular signaling mechanisms that regulate initiation of mRNA translation in neurons have not been clarified. A rate‐limiting step in the initiation of protein synthesis is the formation of the ternary complex among GTP, eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (elF‐2), and the initiator tRNA. Here we report that genistein, a speci
Systemic hyperglycemia and hypercapnia severely aggravate ischemic brain damage when instituted prior to cerebral ischemia. An aberrant cell signaling following ischemia has been proposed to be involved in ischemic cell death, affecting protein kinase C (PKC) and the calcium calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII). Using a cardiac arrest model of global brain ischemia of 10 min duration, we investigated the
Reversion of β-Cell Autoimmunity Changes Risk of Type 1 Diabetes: TEDDY Study Reversion of b-Cell Autoimmunity Changes Risk of Type 1 Diabetes: TEDDY Study DOI: 10.2337/dc16-0181 OBJECTIVE b-Cell autoantibodies are a feature of the preclinical phase of type 1 diabetes. Here, we asked how frequently they revert in a cohort of children at risk for type 1 diabetes and whether reversion has any effect

Since the middle of 1990s and up to today, Sweden and the Swedish justice system have experienced that young men and women are being killed in the name of honour. It was mainly in connection with the murder of Pela and Fadime that the concept of honour killings was rooted in the Swedish public consciousness. Honour killings are crimes whose motive is to re-establish a family’s lost honour, after a
In sites where earthquakes occur, the use of surface wave methods represents a convenient and effective procedure for soil characterization. In particular, Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) has become a popular tool in many seismic micro-zoning projects. In common practice the active MASW method is implemented using a sledgehammer source and a linear receiver spread. This method is lim
The sustainable production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass requires the combination of efficient hydrolysis and complete fermentation of all the monomeric sugars present in the raw material. The present work was aimed at tackling some of the major challenges that will be encountered in commercial-scale ethanol production using Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the preferred microorg
Oilseed rape fields are a very common crop in the agricultural landscape of southern Sweden, and they can harbour surprisingly many insect species. Some of them are herbivores that feed on various parts of the oilseed rape plant, others are natural enemies of the herbivores, and even more species are tourists from the surrounding landscape. In my thesis I have studied these insects and how their pOilseed rape fields are a very common crop in the agricultural landscape of southern Sweden, and they can harbour surprisingly many insect species.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Many of the energy needs in today’s modern society are fulfilled by sources based on fossil fuels, including non-domestic oil and coal. It is well known that the increase in CO2 emission is the result of human activities, mostly fossil fuel consumption. The use of such fuels is unsustainable and has led to the phenomena such as climate change, political instability in sThe gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. The use of biomass gasification for energy purposes can help lower the net emissions of greenhouse gases,
Popular Abstract in English Nowadays, cutting-edge technologies require devices to be small, ultrafast, and operational in a wide range of regimes. To fulfill these requirements we need to go beyond the traditional materials, i.e. to solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress in this direction is conjectured to stem from materials in which the effect of inter-partiCutting-edge technology needs small, ultrafast devices, operational in a wide range of regimes. This calls for solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress is expected from materials in which electron-electron and electron-phonon correlations strongly affect the dynamics ( i.e. "unforeseen" useful properties are expected to be most likely found in systems with comple
