    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is a neurological disorder, affecting approximately 1% of the population. The high rate of drug-resistance in epilepsy in general (30%), and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in particular, pose a serious clinical problem. Thus, novel treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy is highly warranted. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Pharmacological Studies of Four Neuropeptide Y-family Receptor Subtypes

    Sammanfattning : The neuropeptide Y (NPY) family of structurally related peptides includes NPY, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). They bind to G-protein coupled receptors named Y receptors, and include in mammals Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5, Y6 and in non-mammalian vertebrates also Y7, Yb and Yc. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-amino acid peptide that was originally isolated from mammalian brain tissue, is widely distributed in both rat and human brain. NPY has a number of physiological actions and affects for example hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis and circadian rhythms, modulates memory processing and food intake. LÄS MER

  7. 20. The laryngeal mucosa and the superior laryngeal nerve of the rat : an immunohistochemical and electron microscopic study

    Sammanfattning : Neuropeptides are present in nerve fibers of the upper and lower airways. Local release of these substances may be of importance for the pathophysiology of airway disorders and may play a role in responses to different stimuli. However, little is known about the distribution of neuropeptides in the larynx. LÄS MER
