  1. 6. Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide : Expression and neurotrophic activity in the rat brain

    Författare :Ylva Skoglösa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; in situ hybridisation; rat; TBI; BDNF; NGF; GDNF; PACAP; PRI; TUNEL; apoptosis; CNS; PNS; neuropeptides; neurotrophic factors; reactive oxygen species; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Neurotrophic factors play an important role in regulating naturally occurring cell death during neurogenesis. In addition to classical neurotrophic factors, some neurotransmitters and neuropeptides have been shown to exhibit neurotrophic activities. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Intestinal barrier function in health and disease

    Författare :Pernilla Nejdfors; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; VIP.; PACAP; secretion; ion transport; urine reservoir; radiation therapy; ulcerative colitis; macromolecules; dextran; mannitol; Ussing chamber; Intestinal permeability; mucosa; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The intestinal epithelium has the dual function of absorbing nutrients and water as well as being a barrier to potentially harmful substances such as macromolecules and bacteria. In the present thesis the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa was studied in vitro in Ussing diffusion chambers. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Secretory activity in isolated rat stomach ECL cells

    Författare :Erik Lindström; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; Calcium channels; Adrenaline; Pancreastatin; Prostaglandin E2; Galanin; Somatostatin; Histamine; Gastrin; VIP; PACAP; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi; Pharmacological sciences; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : ECL cells are endocrine/paracrine cells located in the acid-producing part of the stomach. They are important regulators of gastric acid secretion in the stomach by virtue of their histamine synthesizing and secreting capacity. Histamine in turn stimulates parietal cells to secrete acid.

  5. 9. Mechanisms of traumatic brain injury in the rat : Morphological consequences and neurotrophic responses

    Författare :Anders Lewén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Cortical contusion injury; TBI; neurons; axons; dendrites; APP; MAP2; BMPR-II; ActR-I; trkB; c-fos; BDNF; PACAP; TUNEL; TGFs; serine threonine; bone morphogenetic protein; neuropeptides; reactive oxygen species; ROS; apoptosis; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurosurgery; neurokirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability in the Western world. especially in young people. Understanding the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury is the basis for further development of better therapeutic strategies for such patients. LÄS MER

  7. 10. The Gastrin-ECL Cell Axis. Functional Aspects

    Författare :Maria Björkqvist; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; Pharmacological sciences; Calcium channels; CCK receptor antagonists; Misoprostol; Galanin; Somatostatin; Pancreastatin; Histamine; VIP; Gastrin; PACAP;

    Sammanfattning : The ECL cells constitute a prominent endocrine cell population in the acid-producing part of the stomach. They are controlled by circulating gastrin released from G-cells in the antrum. In response to gastrin, they secrete histamine, that in turn stimulates the parietal cell to secrete acid. LÄS MER
