  1. 1. Role of environmental toxins in chronic experimental arthrithis - in search for anti-inflammatory pathways of ethanol and nicotine

    Författare :Sofia Silfverswärd Lindblad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatoid arthritis; collagen-induced arthritis; ethanol; testosterone; nuclear factor kappa B; smoking; nicotine; NMDA; regulatory T cells;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder and a debilitating disease affecting 1% of the world population. The etiology of RA is an unresolved issue. Environmental factors such as alcohol intake and cigarette smoke have been described as contributing to the pathogenesis of RA. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of ethanol on NMDA receptor-mediated functions in primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells

    Författare :Aleta Cebere; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Glutamate; NR2A and NR2B subunits; NMDA ethanol; homoquinolinic acid; glycine; spermidine; NMDA receptor antagonists; Ca 21; neurotoxicity; neuroprotection; AP-1; RT-PCR; Western blot; cerebellar granule cells;

    Sammanfattning : Primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells were used to investigate the effects of acute and chronic exposure of ethanol on NMDA receptor functions and to examine the possible sites of interaction between ethanol and the NMDA receptor. Activation of NMDA receptors induced elevation of free cytoplasmic Ca2+, Ca2+ influx, activation of protein kinase C and neurotoxicity. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Factors affecting alcohol self-administration : learning, environmental and genetic influences on behaviour

    Författare :Christopher Pickering; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :ethanol; operant self-administration; addiction; reward; learning; lever press response; context; environmental cue; novelty; stress; glutamate; GABA; noradrenaline; PCR; gene expression; functional genomics; prefrontal cortex; hippocampus; amygdala;

    Sammanfattning : Alcoholism is a serious problem for society and is a very difficult disease to treat clinically. Often, the addict has periods of abstinence from alcohol followed by relapse to drinking and this cycle of use/non-use can repeat over many years. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Preclinical investigations of GlyT-1 inhibition as a new concept for treatment of alcohol dependence

    Författare :Helga Lidö Höifödt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Psykiatri experimentell ; Neurofarmakologi; alcohol; dependence; dopamine; GlyT-1 inhibition; nucleus accumbens; reward;

    Sammanfattning : Alcohol addiction and abuse is a main contributor to the global burden of disease and is a high public health priority. Alcohol addiction is a chronically relapsing neurobiological disorder affecting multiple neurotransmitter systems. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Neonatal Exposure to Anaesthesia and Adjuvants : Acute Effects on Cerebral Apoptosis and Neuroproteins, and Late  Behavioural Aberrations in Mice

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anaesthesia; neonatal; apoptosis; bahaviour; clonidine; ketamine; propofol; theophyllamine; Medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : During a finite developmental phase – the brain growth spurt – the brain grows and matures at an accelerated rate. During this period the brain is more sensitive to harmful substances such as ethanol and environmental toxins than before or after. LÄS MER
