1. NMR as a tool in drug research : Structure elucidation of peptidomimetics and pilicide-chaperone complexes
Sammanfattning : In the last decades NMR spectroscopy has become an invaluable tool both in academic research and in the pharmaceutical industry. This thesis describes applications of NMR spectroscopy in biomedicinal research for structure elucidation of biologically active peptides and peptidomimetics as well as in studies of ligand-protein interactions.

2. Synthesis of β-turn and pyridine based peptidomimetics
Sammanfattning : Despite the unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties associated with peptides, they are still of great interest in drug development due to a multitude of interesting biological functions. The development of peptidomimetics strives to maintain or improve the biological activity of a peptide concurrently with removing the unwanted properties. LÄS MER
3. Galanin and Leu-enkephalin in the rat : with special reference to adjuvant arthritis
Sammanfattning : In these studies, the tissue and cellular distribution of Galanin and Leu-enkephalin were demonstrated in normal bone and joints. Furthermore, tissue levels of Galanin and Leuenkephalin were also studied in the ankles and the spinal cord of arthritic rats. We used immunoeletronmicroscopy (iEM), to study cells and tissue compartments. LÄS MER
4. The Impact of Nandrolone Decanoate on Neuropeptidergic Mechanisms Related to Cognition, Aggression, Reward and Dependence
Sammanfattning : The abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) is becoming increasingly common and may result in a range of physiological as well as psychological effects such as altered behavior in terms of increased aggression, cognitive dysfunction and addictive behavior. AAS comprise testosterone and its derivatives, of which nandrolone is one of the more common. LÄS MER
5. The hippocampal opioid system : role in spatial learning
Sammanfattning : The main aim of the present thesis was to study the role of the endogenous hippocampal opioid system, and in particular, the role of dynorphin B and nociceptin, in spatial learning. The effects of bilateral infusion (using chronic cannulae) of dynorphin B into the dorsal hippocampus (CA3-region), an area containing a high number of dynorphin-containing neurons, were examined in the Morris swim-maze, a spatial task dependent on hippocampal functioning.
