1. 1. Inflammatory Cell Infiltration and Expression of AT1 and AT2 Receptors in Angiotensin II and High-Salt Diet-Induced Balb/CJ Mice

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

   Author : Avishka Herat; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Pulmonary oedema and pulmonary hypertension are often associated with heart failure. The Balb/CJ and C57BL/6J mouse strains have been shown to exhibit distinct genetic susceptibilities to heart failure. READ MORE

3. 2. Association of ACE and PAI-1 gene polymorphisms with clinical outcomes of obstructive sleep apnea

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

   Author : Ruta Mickeviciute; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleeping disorder leading to complications such as daytime-sleepiness, migraines and snoring and is often associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Studies have suggested the contribution of genetic factors in aetiology of OSA. READ MORE

4. 3. Mechanisms of action of β-blockers for the treatment of heart failure

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Author : Jonas Burman; [2020]
   Keywords : Apoptosis; angiotensin II; β-antagonist; beta-blocker; Heart failure; Mechanism;

   Abstract : Heart failure is a syndrome in which the heart is unable to supply the entire body with oxygen. It is manifested in shortness of breath and exercise intolerance. One class of drugs that have proven effective in managing the progression of heart failure is β-blockers. READ MORE

5. 4. Idiopatisk dilaterad kardiomyopati : sjukdomsförlopp och behandling

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Michelle Pettersson; [2016]
   Keywords : dilaterad kardiomyopati; DCM; behandling; hund; dilated cardiomyopathy; treatment; dog;

   Abstract : Dilaterad kardiomyopati (DCM) är en mycket vanlig hjärtsjukdom hos hund som kräver permanent behandling efter ställd diagnos för att upprätthålla god livskvalité och förlänga överlevnaden hos hunden. Idiopatisk DCM är obotlig och dess sjukdomsförlopp kommer den här litteraturstudien att fokusera på. READ MORE

6. 5. Differential and co-expression of long non-coding RNAs in abdominal aortic aneurysm

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Joakim Karlsson; [2014]
   Keywords : lncRNA; lincRNA; abdominal aortic aneurysm; differential expression; co-expression; RNA-seq; WGCNA;

   Abstract : This project concerns an exploration of the presence and interactions of long non-coding RNA transcripts in an experimental atherosclerosis mouse model with relevance for human abdominal aortic aneurysm development. 187 long noncoding RNAs, two of them entirely novel, were found to be differentially expressed between angiotensin II treated (developing abdominal aortic aneurysms) and non-treated apolipoprotein E deficient mice (not developing aneurysms) harvested after the same period of time.
