  1. 1. The role of progesterone in the regulation of ciliary activity in the fallopian tube

    Författare :Magdalena Nutu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :progesterone; progesterone receptor; non-genomic progesterone receptor; ciliated cells; fallopian tube; gamete transport; ciliary activity; ciliary beat frequency; reproduction; fertility;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the distribution and regulation of membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) that may be involved in regulating ciliary activity in the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube serves to transport the egg and spermatozoa to achieve fertilization. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Progesterone's effect on factors that influence gamete transport in the fallopian tube

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Progesterone; Fallopian tube;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The fallopian tube plays an important role for successful female reproduction as it transport gametes to the fertilization site, nourish the developing embryo and transport it to the uterus at the suitable time for implantation. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of progesterone in control of gamete transport. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Sensory mechanisms in the human upper airway - Role of TRP ion channels

    Författare :Lisa Alenmyr; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TRPV1; TRPV4; TRPA1; allergic rhinitis; itch; rhinorrhea; MUC5B; MUC5AC; epithelial;

    Sammanfattning : The nasal mucosa is richly innervated with sensory nerves having the ability to detect changes in the environment and mediate symptoms such as secretion and itch. Some TRP ion channels such as TRPV1 and TRPA1 are abundantly expressed in sensory nerves and respond to a wide variety of stimuli, including irritants, inflammatory mediators and temperatures. LÄS MER
