  1. 26. On the biology of premenstrual dysphoria and panic disorder

    Författare :Hoi-Por Ho; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serotonin; reuptake inhibitor; estrogen; progesterone; irritability; respiration; estrus cycle; polymorphism; resident intruder model;

    Sammanfattning : Premenstrual dysphoria (PMD) afflicts 7% of all women of fertile age, and is characterized by symptoms such as irritability, sadness, and mood swings, appearing regularly before menstruation, and being of such severity that they markedly reduce quality of life. The symptoms are dependent of sex steroids, and seem to be under the influence of serotonin, since they respond to treatment with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs). LÄS MER

  3. 27. Transcription Factor AP-2 in Relation to Serotonergic Functions in the Central Nervous System

    Författare :Mattias Damberg; Elias Eriksson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; CNS; serotonin; transcription factors; AP-2; personality; antidepressants; Farmakologi; Pharmacological research; Farmakologisk forskning; medicinsk farmakologi; Medical Pharmacology;

    Sammanfattning : Eukaryotic gene transcription plays a regulatory role in mammalian developmental processes. It has been shown that transcriptional control is an important mechanism for specification of neurotransmitter phenotypes. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Brain mechanisms in pain regulation

    Författare :Karin B Jensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The subjective sensitivity to pain differs greatly between individuals and neuroimaging has contributed to the understanding of the cerebral mechanisms involved in pain regulation. The descending pain inhibitory circuitry is a well defined cerebral network that enables regulation of afferent nociceptive information. LÄS MER

  5. 29. Development and Application of Software Tools for Mass Spectrometry Imaging

    Författare :Patrik Källback; Per E. Andrén; Per Svenningsson; Anna Nilsson; Benjamin Bowen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mass spectrometry imaging; MALDI; DESI; msIQuant; quantitation; neurotransmitters; drugs; derivatization; brain; compression; data entropy reduction;

    Sammanfattning : Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been extensively used to produce qualitative maps of distributions of proteins, peptides, lipids, neurotransmitters, small molecule pharmaceuticals and their metabolites directly in biological tissue sections. Moreover, during the last 10 years, there has been growing demand to quantify target compounds in tissue sections of various organs. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Spinal Acetylcholine Release : Mechanisms and Receptor Involvement

    Författare :Mahinda Kommalage; Urban Höglund; Ernst Brodin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; acetylcholine release; spinal antinociception; nicotinic receptor; serotonin; GABA; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Impulses coming from peripheries are modified in the spinal cord and transmitted to the brain. Several neurotransmitters have been involved in the processing of impulses in the spinal dorsal horn. Acetylcholine (ACh) is one of many neurotransmitters involved in the regulation of nociception in the spinal cord. LÄS MER
