Background: To identify apolipoprotein E (APOE)-specific factors that may predict life expectancy after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Method: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is a prospective, observational, clinical-practice-based, multicentre study that includes 999 participants diagnosed with mild-to-moderate AD at the start of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) therapy (tim
BACKGROUND: Low levels of plasma apolipoprotein E (apoE) and presence of the APOE ε4 allele are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although the increased risk of AD in APOE ε4-carriers is well-established, the protein levels have received limited attention.METHODS: We here report the total plasma apoE and apoE isoform levels at baseline from a longitudinally (24 months)
Haemophilus influenzae protein E (PE) is a multifunctional adhesin, involved in direct interactions with lung epithelial cells and host proteins, including plasminogen and the extracellular matrix proteins vitronectin and laminin. We recently crystallized PE and successfully collected X-ray diffraction data to 1.8 Å. Here we solved the structure of a recombinant version of PE and analyzed differen
Background: Immunization of animals with LDL reduces atherosclerosis. However, whether the timing of immunization affects its efficacy is not known. In this study, we evaluated the influence of timing of immunization on the athero-protective effects of LDL immunization in apo E (-/-) mice. Methods and results: Hypercholesterolemic apo E (-/-) mice were immunized with native LDL (nLDL) at age of 6-
Popular Abstract in Swedish Reklamen är ett oundvikligt inslag i vår vardagsmiljö och en viktig del av vår dagliga massmediekonsumtion. I den här studien har jag använt mig av tre italienskspråkiga reklambudskap för olivolja (Carapelli), pasta (Voiello) och kaffe (Lavazza) . I syfte att kunna belysa vilken viktig roll mottagarens sociokulturella bakgrund och encyklopediska kunskapsnivå spelar för The aim of this study is to describe how Italian advertising for olive oil, pasta and coffee reflects traditions, customs and culturally specific patterns regarding the ways in which these products are used in Italy, and how these culturally specific patterns are interpreted by native readers and non-native readers (Swedish students). The study is based on 22 Italian and 22 Swedish interpretations
