We would like to eludicate the role of dopamine on glucose metabolism.
To characterise the number, phenotype and functionality of regulatory T cells and cytokines produced in the peripheral blood of children diagnosed with asthma.
1. To determine demographic, clinical, and brain morphological and functional predictors for IST, and; 2. To examine their associations with the level of increase of seizure threshold (*ST) during the ECT course, as measured at every sixth ECT-…

Primary Objective: To determine the accumulation of AGEs in the skin and serum of pregnant women with DM1, DM2 or GDM, in comparison to healthy pregnant women and non-pregnant women with DM1 or DM2 and to determine the accumulation of AGEs in the…
Discover diagnostic biomarkers for disease severity. Increase the insight in the epidemiology of viral infections in the primary, secondary and tertiary care facilities and in the pathogenesis of and immunological response against viral infections.
To obtain more information about the effects of capsaicin and cinnamaldehyde on the intestine, these substances will be infused directly in the duodenum. Hereafter, the permeability of the intestine, gallbladder motility and the effects on satiety…
Primary objectives:1. To analyze the exact pathogenic mutations in the TCOF1 gene in TCS 2. To determine the severity, prevalence, natural course within the cohort TCS patients and potential metabolic and physical effects of OSAS in TCSSecondary…
With this project we aim to clarify the differences in airway pathophysiology between asthmatics and healthy controls that underlie the prolonged survival of virus and the exaggerated inflammation in virus-induced exacerbations of asthma. We will…
To investigate the relation between a known genetic variation in a set of selected genes involved in the recognition of microorganisms and inflammation and the frequency of respiratory tract infections in a group of children with DS.
In the current study this hypothesis will be tested by examining whether blood serotonin levels, which are indicative of central serotonin levels, differ between infatuated and non-infatuated individuals. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether…

Study A: Show BP patients similar progression in brain volume change compared to schizophrenia patients. If so, can the progressive change in BP patients also be explained by genetic factors?Study B: Show BP patients and their non-bipolar cotwins…
Our hypothesis is: HBV interferes with the function of intrahepatic innate immune cells, especially NK cells. Since NK cells play a major role in anti-viral immunity and NK cells comprise a large proportion of the intrahepatic immune cells, we would…
