  1. 1. α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors in the Eye : Pharmacological and Functional Characterization

    Författare :Anna Wikberg-Matsson; Thomas Mittag; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; α1-adrenoceptor subtypes; α2-adrenoceptor subtypes; iris; ciliary body; choroid; retina; ciliary artery; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Ophtalmology; oftalmiatrik;

    Sammanfattning : α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors are involved in various physiological events in the eye: blood flow regulation, aqueous humor dynamics and pupil regulation. The α1- and α2-adrenoceptors can be further subdivided into six subtypes (α1A, α1B, α1D, α2A , α2B, and α2C ). LÄS MER

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Cystatin C in the Eye and in Specific Model Systems

    Författare :Johan Wasselius; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; protein uptake; ciliary body; lens; cornea; retina; eye; Cystatin C; cathepsin B; Oftalmologi;

    Sammanfattning : It is a necessity of life to make proteins, and it is an equal necessity to degrade those proteins, to eliminate dysfunctional proteins, and leave room for new ones. The processes of protein synthesis and degradation into peptides - proteolysis - have attracted a great interest during the last decades. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Interplay between mitochondria, primary cilium, diabetes and its complications

    Författare :Noah Moruzzi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes is one of the major health problems of the 21st century. Dysfunction of the insulin secreting pancreatic β-cell together with insulin resistance is central to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The cause of the disease and the underlying mechanisms linking hyperglycemia to diabetes complications are still unclear. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Inflammatory response after cataract surgery : randomized controlled clinical and laboratory studies of different surgical techniques

    Författare :Carl-Gustaf Laurell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cataract extraction; phacoemulsification; inflammation; blood-aqueousbarrier; anti-inflammatory agents; heparin surface modified intraocular lens; fluorophotometry; prostaglandins; after-cataract; corneal oedema; lasers; comparative study; randomize;

    Sammanfattning : During the last few years the phacoemulsification technique for cataract extraction has improved considerably. Because of this development phacoemulsification has recently superseded extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) as the preferred method. LÄS MER
