  1. 1. Evaluation of method for function control of test assay’s complementing and signaling enzymes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Alva Strand; [2022]
    Keywords : Nucleoside 5´-Diphosphate Kinase NdPK ; Adenosine 5´-Triphosphate ATP ; Rate-limiting enzyme; ß-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide ß-NADH ; Enzymatic specific activity.;

    Abstract : Nucleoside 5'-Diphosphate Kinase (NdPK EC 2.7.4.6) is an enzyme (phosphotransferase) with extraordinary characteristics due to its unique ability to transfer phosphor groups to interconvert all nucleoside di- and triphosphates as a part of the DNA synthesis. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of the impact of mitochondrial variation in the estimation of breeding values for dairy cattle

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Gabriela Mafra Fortuna; [2021]
    Keywords : mitogenome; variance components; milk yield; simulation;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are independent cellular components responsible for cellular respiration. Through oxidative phosphorylation they convert Adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate into Adenosine Triphosphate, ATP, the essential molecule sourced by all intracellular metabolic processes.

  4. 3. Evaluation of Correlation between Platelet Function in Platelet apheresis Donors and Function in Thrombapharesis Concentrates Measured with Impedance Aggregometry (Multiplate® Analyzer)

    University essay from

    Author : Linnea Jakobsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Adenosine diphosphate; thrombin receptor activating peptide; collagen; aggregability; platelet concentration;

    Abstract : Transfusion of platelet concentrates (PC) can be necessary for patients to maintain coagulability. It is vital that the platelets maintain viability and function during processing and storage to obtain enhanced coagulability in the transfused patient. Today, no test is used to verify platelet function in either donors or in PC’s. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of prophylactic platelet transfusions on point-of-care coagulation parameters in conjunction to central venous catheter insertion—what effect do transfusions have and are they necessary?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Johan Hahr Schoug; [2012]
    Keywords : Platelet; Platelet transfusion; Thromboelastography; Thromboelastometry; Platelet aggregometry; ROTEM; Multiplate; Central venous catheter; CVC; Thrombocytopenia; Coagulation; Thrombocyte; Platelet function; Cancer; Hematological malignancy; Leukemia; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Platelet transfusions are often used when thrombocytopenic patients are facing a central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, but their use has been up to debate. Point-of-care devices such as thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and platelet aggregometry (Multiplate) better reflect in vivo haemostasis than routine coagulation tests. READ MORE

  6. 5. Role of TRPV1 channel and P2Y1 receptor in Ca2+ signalling in β-cells : A study by single cell microfluorometry

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Kalaiselvan Krishnan; [2011]
    Keywords : Insulin exocytosis; P2Y1; tolbutamide; ADPr; microfluorometry; Islets of langerhans; β-cells; calcium signaling; signal transduction.;

    Abstract : Increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the β-cells triggers insulin exocytosis. Among the Ca2+ channels present in the plasma membrane, the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels receptors are currently of great interest. READ MORE
