Expression und Funktion von Caveolin bei glialen Zellen, insbesondere Oligodendrozyten
Caveolin-haltige Mikrodomänen (CMD) sind sphingomyelin-, glykosphingolipid- und cholesterinreiche Membranabschnitte innerhalb der Plasmamembran. Zu ihren physiologischen Aufgaben gehören u.a. der vesikuläre Transport und die Signaltransduktion. Caveolae sind als Sonderform von CMD anzusehen. Anhand …

The role of recombinant human laminin-111 in adhesion-signaling and glycosylation in laminin-⍺2 deficient muscle
… congenital muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-CMD) is a rare and severe neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscular degeneration. LAMA2-CMD is caused by mutations in LAMA2 which encodes for the laminin-α2 protein. Loss of laminin-α2 results in the absence of laminin-211/221, an …

Risk factors for cardiometabolic disease in the eThekwini Municipality (City of Durban), South Africa.
… The burden of cardiometabolic disease (CMD) is rising in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, there are limited population-based prevalence estimates of CMD risk factors to inform public health initiatives for the prevention and management of CMDs in these populations. This thesis aims to …

Analysis of particulate matter concentration and size distribution in heavy-duty vehicle exhaust emissions
… trucks exhibited the Count Median Diameter (CMD) values ranging from 30 nm to 60 nm. EC-Diesel truck test yielded a CMD of 33 run (baseline), a CMD of 37--39 nm (with a JM-CRT), and a CMD of 40--47 nm (with a Engelhard DPX). CARB's baseline was at 56 nm.;The thesis has 7 Chapters, 14 Tables, …

Sleep characteristics and cardiometabolic disease risk factors in corporate executives
… are attributed to cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). While there is clear evidence linking short sleep duration with CMD risk in the general population, similar data in a unique subset of the workforce, namely corporate executives, remains largely unexplored. The purpose of this thesis was to …

Effect of the ligands of thyroid hormone receptor on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
… by a choline-deficient, methionine-restricted (CMD) diet. Male Fischer rats fed the CMD diet for 1 week developed a marked fatty liver and mild hepatitis. Concurrent administration of T3 resulted in a complete prevention of the fatty change associated with increased mitochondrial and peroxisomal …
