11. Role of oxytocin in glucose homeostasis and weight gain
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to study metabolic functions of oxytocin in particular in relation to glucose, insulin and glucagon. Application of oxytocin locally in the pancreas (microdialysis technique) increased insulin (RIA) and glucagon (RIA) release. LÄS MER
12. On the Autonomic Control of Blood Flow and Secretion in Salivary Glands. Functional and morphological aspects on muscarinic receptor subtypes in different species
Sammanfattning : Parasympathetic nervous activity is the principal stimulus for evoking fluid responses within salivary glands. Concomitantly to the onset of this response, the blood flow increases. LÄS MER
13. Structural and functional alterations in the rat retina after long term exposure to two n-hexane metabolites
Sammanfattning : Exposure to the two n-hexane metabolites, 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) and 2,5-hexanediol (2,5-HDol) causes swellings in the distal part of long nerve axons. This phenomenon, centralperipheral distal axonopathy, was studied using an indirect immuno-peroxidase method with monoclonal antibodies to neurofilament protein. LÄS MER
14. Application of Mixed-Effect Modeling to Improve Mechanistic Understanding and Predictability of Oral Absorption
Sammanfattning : Several sophisticated techniques to study in vivo GI transit and regional absorption of pharmaceuticals are available and increasingly used. Examples of such methods are Magnetic Marker Monitoring (MMM) and local drug administration with remotely operated capsules. LÄS MER
15. Aspects of aqueous humor dynamics : Studies in vivo and in vitro
Sammanfattning : The purpose of the present investigation was to study the effects of PGF2α-l-isopropylester, some neuropeptides, and pharmacological agents on aqueous humor dynamics and intraocular pressure (IOP) in vivo and on adenylate cyclase activity in the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium (NPE) in vitro.Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) caused a dose-dependent increase in cAMP formation, indicating that the NPE contains receptors for PACAP and VIP coupled to adenylate cyclase activation.
