11. Pet imaging of two monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems in brain : studies of the norepinephrine transporter and dopamine D[2] receptor
Sammanfattning : Positron emission tomography (PET) has been widely used to study non-invasively function of the brain, pathophysiology of disease and aid in the development of new drugs. PET and selective radiolabeled molecules allow imaging of certain critical components of neurotransmission, such as pre-synaptic transporters and post-synaptic receptors in living brain. LÄS MER
12. Suicide attempt and genes : psychiatric and genetic characteristics of suicide attempters
Sammanfattning : Suicide affects an appreciable number of people in all societies. Finding genes that predispose to suicidal behavior may help to identify individuals at risk and an appropriate counseling and support can be extended to them. The studies of the present thesis focus on suicide attempt. LÄS MER
13. Catecholaminergic neurotransmission in heart and brain : development of tracers for positron emission tomography
Sammanfattning : The catecholamines norepinephrine and its biosynthetic precursor dopamine are two principal neurotransmitters in the human central nervous system (CNS). Moreover, norepinephrine is a major transmitter substance in the peripheral, autonomic nervous system. LÄS MER
14. Prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery
Sammanfattning : Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently after cardiac surgery and is independently associated with increased mortality. The main cause of AKI in these patients is renal ischemia. LÄS MER
15. The regulation of renal tubular Na+ transport is dependent on interaction between different hormones
Sammanfattning : Renal Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) is of great importance for the regulation of salt metabolism and its activity can be inhibited by several natriuretic hormones. So far, the effect of antinatriuretic factors have been less well studied. LÄS MER
