  1. 1. Circadian rhythm dysfunction in the suprachiasmatic nucleus : effects of Trypanosoma brucei brucei infection and inflammatory cytokines

    Författare :Gabriella B Lundkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Suprachiasmatic nucleus; slice; Trypanosoma brucei; sleeping sickness; spontaneous firing; rhytm; synaptic activity; GABA; glutamate; AMPA cytokines; sleep regulation; interferon-gamma; tumor necrosis factor-alpha;

    Sammanfattning : Alterations in the mammalian circadian pacemaker, the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), were studied in an experimental rat model of African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, caused by infections with subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei (T b). Characteristic signs of the disease are marked disturbances in circadian rhythms, such as a fragmentation of the sleep-wake cycle. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Immune cytokines have been implicated as important neuromodulators, contributing to neuronal plasticity both in the adult and developing nervous system. In addition, they have been assigned a potential role in the generation of pathological pain, which may occur as a severe symptom following disease states in the nervous system. LÄS MER
