11. Bridging the gap between lipid dyshomeostasis and brain disorders : role of prosaposin and progranulin
Sammanfattning : Brain tissue is the second-highest lipid-containing tissue after adipose in the human body. Lipid homeostasis maintenance requires the coordination of multiple cellular organelles. Pathogenesis of brain disorders, especially Parkinson’s disease (PD), usually involves different dysfunctional pathways that intimately link to lipid homeostasis. LÄS MER
12. Neuropeptides in the human postmortem brain : focus on galanin and its receptors in depression
Sammanfattning : Neuropeptides represent the most diverse family of messenger molecules in the nervous system, which are co-expressed with key neurotransmitters in several brain regions. They modulate synaptic neurotransmission and have, in some cases, also trophic functions. One such neuropeptide, and the focus of the thesis, is ‘galanin’. LÄS MER
13. Experimental, mild blast-induced traumatic brain injury : focus on the monoamine and galanin systems
Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of mortality and morbidity among civilians and servicemen alike. The spectrum of TBIs encompasses mild to severe cases, with the predominate number of TBIs being mild (mTBI). Combat-related TBI inflicted by explosive blast (bTBI) is highly prevalent among military personnel. LÄS MER
14. The galanin type 2 receptor: molecular biological, histochemical and electrophysiological studies
Sammanfattning : In the present thesis, the aim was to probe the distribution and functions of galanin type 2 receptor (GalR2) in the rodent brain. In order to overcome the lack of a reliable antibody to localize GalR2 by immunohistochemistry, we generated a construct which expresses GalR2 tagged with enhanced GFP (EGFP). LÄS MER
