    Sammanfattning : Protein-energy malnutrition and wasting occur in many patients with chronic renal failure. Reduced nutrient intake because of anorexia, nausea and vomiting, caused by uremic toxicity is an important factor. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Appetitive and consummatory ingestive behavior : role of taste, dopamine and NPY

    Författare :Fredrik Sederholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis has examined the role of taste, dopamine and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the regulation of the two phases of ingestive behavior: appetitive (approaching and handling of food) and consummatory ingestive behavior (chewing and swallowing). Behavioral studies were performed in male and female rats. THE ROLE OF TASTE. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Intake inhibition by neuropeptide Y

    Författare :Ahmed A Ammar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is an attempt to elucidate some neuroendocrine concomitants to Anorexia Nervosa (AN), an eating disorder that develops in women. In particular, the thesis has examined the effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on food intake under experimental conditions in male and female rats. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Food availability, physical activity and body weight : role of dopamine, neuropeptide Y and orexin

    Författare :Ricard Nergårdh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades our knowledge about neuroendocrine control of energy balance has increased tremendously. Numerous neuropeptides and hormones with pronounced effects on feeding and body weight have been identified and put into schemes as anorexic or orexigenic signals. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hypothalamic neuronal circuits involved in the regulation of food intake and body weight : histochemical studies in lean rats and obese mutant mice

    Författare :Matilda Bäckberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :AGRP; arcuate nucleus; BBB; CART; GABA; GABA receptors; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; hypothalamus; LHA; leptin; MCH; NPY; orexin; POMC; tubby;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is a major health problem because of its dramatic increase in prevalence and its association with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart diseases, hypertension and stroke. It is well known that signals generated in response to feeding behavior are integrated in the brain. LÄS MER
