BACKGROUND: Higher fasting Growth Hormone (GH) has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Our objective was to find genetic determinants of fasting GH in order to facilitate future efforts of analyzing the association between fasting growth hormone and cardiovascular disease. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed in a discovery cohort of 4134 persons
Background Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), an inflammatory enzyme expressed in atherosclerotic plaques, is a therapeutic target being assessed in trials of vascular disease prevention. We investigated associations of circulating Lp-PLA2 mass and activity with risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and mortality under different circumstances. Methods With use of individual recor
Smoking is rare in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Onsets are common after stopping smoking. Several observations suggest possible immunologic mechanisms in UC. As smoking has an immunosuppressive effect, a possible role of smoking in UC could be immunosuppression. In this study an analogous hypothesis was investigated by studying smoking habits in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
In a case-control study there were significantly fewer smokers among patients with ulcerative colitis both at disease onset and at interview, the relative risk compared with non-smokers being 0.33 and 0.12, respectively. Among female patients with Crohn's disease there were significantly more smokers, the relative risk being 2.70 and 2.33, respectively. Of the ex-smokers with ulcerative colitis, t
The proportion of smokers in this study was significantly lower among patients with ulcerative colitis (13%) than among patients with Crohn's disease (47%), the difference being significant for both sexes and for the age groups both below and above 40 years. The proportion of male ex-smokers among patients with ulcerative colitis (28%) was higher than among patients with Crohn's disease (8%), wher

The 2-ester bond of 14C-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was hydrolyzed faster than that of 3H-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine (PC) by human pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) with mixed PE-PC (1:9 w/w) liposomes of pure sonicated PE or PC as substrate. The PC portion of the mixed PE-PC liposomes was more readily attacked by PLA2 than the PC of pure PC liposomes. At different bile sal
Sekuritet eller den säkerhet i samma betydelse som engelskans security, handlar om det verksamhetsskydd för organisation, medarbetare och övriga som behövs för att motverka fara, skada, förlust eller brott. Sekuritet är därmed en fråga om trygghet. För att möta framtidens utmaningar har doktorandarbetet syftat till att studera och identifiera effektiva processer gällande sekuritetshantering och be
