    Författare :Åke Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Capsaicin; Chemical sensitivity; Epidemiology; Odour intolerance; Sensory hyperreactivity;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: ? To study the relationship between odour intolerance and capsaicin sensitivity and to develop a definition of airway sensory hyperreactivity (SHR). ? To study epidemiology of odour intolerance; particularly regarding airway symptoms, and to relate odour intolerance to possible risk factors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Regulation of spontaneous tone in guinea pig trachea

    Författare :Staffan Skogvall; Neurofysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tetrodotoxin; lidocaine; substance P; tachykinin; prostaglandin; indomethacin; capsaicin; neuroepithelial endocrine cells; epithelium; oxygen; oscillations; spontaneous tone; Asthma; airway smooth muscle; electrical field stimulation.; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is a common disease, characterized by periods of bronchoconstriction of unclear origin. This thesis examines a specific behavior of airway smooth muscle, the so-called spontaneous airway tone. It was suspected that a defect regulation of this tone may be a cause of asthmatic bronchoconstriction. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Physiological properties of unmyelinated low-threshold tactile (CT) afferents in the human hairy skin

    Författare :Katarina Wiklund Fernström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Human; microneurography; mechanoafferent; unmyelinated; sensory; touch; temperature; capsaicin;

    Sammanfattning : For more than a decade it has been known that human skin is supplied with a system of slowly conducting unmyelinated afferents that respond strongly to innocuous skin deformation (Nordin, 1990; Vallbo et al., 1993). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Regulation of experimentally induced airway obstruction

    Författare :Eva G. Lindström; Jan Lötvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :airway obstruction; antigen; capsaicin; epithelium; inflammatory mediators; sensory neurons; tube preparation; tachykinins; formoterol; histamine; presynaptic inhibition; in vitro; guinea pig; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is one of the commonest diseases in industrialized countries. The cause and mechanisms of !he disorder are still not fully unden;tood, al!hough it is known that inflammation in !he airways plays an important role. Inflammatory mediators, e.g. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Endogenous activators of the pain receptor TRPV1 From cell to man

    Författare :Pouya Movahed Rad; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; cannabinoids; capsazepine; N-acylethanolamines; anandamide; blood Circulation; vasodilation; humans; calcitonin Gene-related Peptide; capsaicin; neurogenic inflammation; nociceptors; TRPV1 protein; pain;

    Sammanfattning : N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) belong to a growing family of endogenous signalling molecules acting on a variety of receptors and ion channels. In 1992, it was reported that the N-acylethanolamine anandamide is present in the brain and activates the central cannabinoid (CB) receptor. LÄS MER
