  1. 41. Gastric acid secretion and gut peptides : mechanisms involved in inflammatory response

    Författare :Tobias Rudholm Feldreich; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The regulation of gastric acid secretion is complex and involves endocrine, paracrine, and neurocrine mechanisms. Among these, the interconnecting cross-talk between different gut peptides is an important part in the control of acid secretion. LÄS MER

  3. 42. Functional role of cerebrospinal fluid contacting cells in the spinal cord and hypothalamus

    Författare :Elham Jalalvand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting (CSF-c) cells are found lining the walls of the central canal and the ventricles throughout the vertebrate phylum, but their function has remained elusive. The aim here was to investigate the physiological role of CSF-c cells in the spinal cord and hypothalamus. LÄS MER

  4. 43. Nuclear medicine imaging of lung cancer and esophagus cancer

    Författare :Gunnar Herlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Lung cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) occur in cancer tissue, and 99mTc-depreotide is a labelled somatostatin receptor analogue, binding to SSTRs subtype 2, 3, and 5. Purpose: The general aim of the present thesis was to study somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SSTRS) with 99mTc-depreotide in the diagnosis and characterization of cancers in the lung and oesophagus.

  5. 44. PET/CT with 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATOC in pulmonary carcinoid imaging

    Författare :Natalja Uhlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: PET/CT, positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography, with 18F-FDG (2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose) is well established in oncological imaging. Pulmonary carcinoid tumours may have metabolic activity, making them available for PET/CT imaging with 18F-FDG. LÄS MER

  7. 45. Role of oxytocin in glucose homeostasis and weight gain

    Författare :Eva Björkstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to study metabolic functions of oxytocin in particular in relation to glucose, insulin and glucagon. Application of oxytocin locally in the pancreas (microdialysis technique) increased insulin (RIA) and glucagon (RIA) release. LÄS MER
