6. Neural circuits engaged in mastication and orofacial nociception
Sammanfattning : A deeper understanding of both movement control and the effects of nociceptor inputs on our motor systems is critical for proper clinical diagnosis of musculo-skeletal dysfunctions and for development of novel rehabilitation schemes. In the jaw system, masticatory movements are produced by a central pattern generator (CPG) located in the brainstem. LÄS MER
7. Paracrine control of glucagon secretion in the pancreatic α-cell: Studies involving optogenetic cell activation
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The mechanisms controlling glucagon secretion by α-cells in islets of Langerhans were studied. We generated mice with the light-activated ion channel ChR2 specifically expressed in β-, α-, and δ-cells, and explored the spatio-temporal relationship between cell activation and glucagon release.

8. Signal Transduction of Glucagon Secretion
Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus is a bihormonal disorder with hyperglycemia due to deficiency of insulin and hypersecretion of glucagon. To improve diabetes treatment it is important to clarify the signal transduction of glucagon secretion. LÄS MER
9. The Cross-Talk between GABA Signalling and Metabolic Hormones in the Brain and Pancreatic Islets
Sammanfattning : GABA is a well-known neurotransmitter that can be synthesized in the central nervous system (CNS) and, interestingly, also in pancreatic islets. Once released, GABA activates GABA-A channels tonically or transiently resulting in different physiological functions. LÄS MER
10. Growth of parathyroid glands : genetic and functional aspects
Sammanfattning : Ca2+ is an essential ion with a variety of important functions in the body and it is crucial that the Ca2+ levels are precisely regulated. One of the hormones regulating these processes is parathyroid hormone (PTH) secreted from the parathyroid glands. LÄS MER
