  1. 11. Ion channels in drug discovery : focus on biological assays

    Författare :Kim Dekermendjian; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ion channels; GABAA receptor; sodium channels; TRPM8; drug discovery; high throughput screening assays; FLIPR; automated electrophysiology;

    Sammanfattning : Ion channels are well characterised drug targets. However, the techniques used to study ion channel pharmacology have not been particularly applicable to modern drug discovery. LÄS MER

  3. 12. K+ channels and the regulation of synaptic transmission

    Författare :Evanthia Nanou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neuronal excitability is highly regulated by K+ channels that are activated by a voltage change across the plasma membrane or by a rise in intracellular Na+ or Ca2+ concentration. The main focus of this thesis has been to characterize the Na+-activated K+ (KNa) and the Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channels and to determine their role in regulating synaptic transmission in the lamprey spinal cord.

  4. 13. Effects of imidazoline compounds on intracellular CA2+ and apoptosis

    Författare :Ioulia Appelskog; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :imidazolines; imidazoline site; sulfonylurea; glucose; interleukin-1beta; insulin secretion; glucagon; somatostatin; pancreatic islets; pancreatic P-cells; HIT-T15 cells; apoptosis; cytoplasmic free Ca2 concentration;

    Sammanfattning : Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of insulin release from the pancreatic beta-cell. [Ca2+]i is also important in the control of apoptosis. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Regulation of glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells

    Författare :Yang De Marinis; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epac2; glucagon secretion; pancreatic alpha cells; K- ATP channel; N-type Ca2 channel; L-type Ca2 channel; GLP-1; cAMP; PKA; Adrenaline; PKC;

    Sammanfattning : Glucagon secreted by pancreatic α-cells plays an important role in the regulation of blood glucose. In this thesis, different techniques such as electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry and hormone secretion assay were combined to explore the mechanisms by which glucagon secretion is regulated.

  7. 15. Investigation on Pre- and Postsynaptic Ca2+ Signaling in Neuronal Model Systems

    Författare :Jelena Krjukova; Åkerman Karl; Kukkonen Jyrki; Rydqvist Bo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; calcium; neurotransmitter release; nicotine; depolarization; G-protein coupled receptor; muscarinic; phospholipase C; m-3M3FBS; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Communication between neuronal and non-neuronal is called volume transmission when the released neurotransmitter (NT) acts via diffusion and affects several target cells. Both the neurosecretory and postsynaptic cell responses are linked to [Ca2+]i elevations. LÄS MER
