  1. 11. Effects of prenatal IL-6 exposure and hyperinsulinemia on neuroendocrine regulation

    Författare :Anne-Maj Samuelsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :interleukin-6; intrauterine exposure; HPA-axis; RAS; hippocampus; spatial learning; hypertension; insulin signaling; cardiac hypertrophy;

    Sammanfattning : Prenatal exposure to infection is associated with several neuroendocrine disorders. We therefore wanted to elucidate if cytokines, generated in response to maternal infection, play a key mechanistic role in this associations. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Aims: The main aim of this thesis was to explore the prevalence, incidence and severity of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in subjects with Chronic Widespread Pain (CWP). In addition, the thesis aimed to analyse the impact of pain and RLS on sleep as well as on measures of Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal (HPA)-axis function and skin sympathetic activity. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The rates of delirium were studied in patients with four different dementia disorders and also in patients with different regional brain syndromes. The function of the stress-regulating system was compared between demented patients with delirium and those without. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Maternal separation in the rat : long-term effects of early life events on emotionality, drug response and neurobiology

    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Early deprivation; Alcohol intake; Anxiety; Corticosterone; Maternal separation; HPA axis; Maternal care; Monoamines;

    Sammanfattning : Exposure to early stress and emotional trauma in humans are associated with an increased risk to develop psychiatric disorders, for example, anxiety, depression and drug abuse. Furthermore, disruptions in stress hormone and neurotransmitter levels as well as structural changes in the brain have been connected to early adversities. LÄS MER
