Renal function exerts only a minor influence on high plasma homocysteine concentrations in patients with acute coronary syndromes. (2002)

Jonasson, Torfi, Ohlin, Hans, Andersson, Anders, Arnadottir, Margret, Hultberg, Björn

It has been suggested that hyperhomocysteinemia observed in patients with occlusive vascular disease is caused by reduced renal function secondary to renovascular disease. We have therefore used...

The redox state of glutathione, cysteine and homocysteine in the extracellular fluid in the skin. (2002)

Persson, Bertil, Andersson, Anders, Hultberg, Björn, Hansson, Christer

Glutathione, the most abundant low-molecular weight thiol in the skin, has been shown to protect the skin from both photobiological and chemical injury. The thiols, glutathione in particular, have...

Lipoic acid increases glutathione production and enhances the effect of mercury in human cell lines. (2002)

Hultberg, Björn, Andersson, Anders, Isaksson, Anders

Thiols are known to influence the metabolism of glutathione. In a previous study (Toxicology 156 (2001) 93) dithiothreitol (DTT) did not show any effect on intra- or extracellular glutathione...

Relation between plasma homocysteine and Alzheimer's disease. (2002)

Nilsson, Karin, Gustafson, Lars, Hultberg, Björn

OBJECTIVE: Several studies have shown that plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentration is elevated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is not clear whether elevated plasma tHcy is a primary...

Optimal use of markers for cobalamin and folate status in a psychogeriatric population. (2002)

Nilsson, Karin, Gustafson, Lars, Hultberg, Björn

BACKGROUND: Cobalamin/folate deficiency is common in elderly subjects and may lead to psychiatric symptoms, but even more often it increases the severity of other organic and non-organic mental...

Vitamin supplementation normalizes total plasma homocysteine concentration but not plasma homocysteine redox status in patients with acute coronary syndromes and hyperhomocysteinemia. (2002)

Andersson, Anders, Jonasson, Torfi, Ohlin, Hans, Lindgren, Arne, Hultberg, Björn

Despite the growing evidence that elevated total homocysteine (tHcy) in plasma is a cardiovascular risk factor, the mechanism underlying the vascular injury is still unknown. Studies are difficult...

The postdialytic rise in the plasma total homocysteine concentration is delayed. (2002)

Arnadottir, Margret, Wingren, Kerstin, Hultberg, Björn, Hegbrant, Jörgen

Plasma total homocysteine concentration in nephrotic patients with idiopathic membranous nephrophathy (2001)

Arnadottir, Margret, Hultberg, Björn, Berg, Anna-Lena

Background. The atherothrombotic risk pattern of the nephrotic syndrome resembles that of hyperhomocysteinemia. However, the effect of nephrotic range proteinuria on homocysteine metabolism has...

Treatment with different doses of folic acid in haemodialysis patients: effects on folate distribution and aminothiol concentrations (2000)

Arnadottir, Margret, Gudnason, Vilmundur, Hultberg, Björn

Background. Hyperhomocysteinaemia is highly prevalent among haemodialysis patients and may contribute to their increased cardiovascular risk. Treatment with pharmacological doses of folic acid lowers...

Gargoylism: hydrolysis of β-galactosides and tissue accumulation of galactose- and mannose-containing compounds

Hultberg, Björn, Öckerman, Per-Arne, Dahlqvist, Arne

The sugars present in hydrolyzed extracts of human liver and brain were analyzed by gasliquid chromatography after conversion to their alditol acetates. The samples analyzed were obtained from...
