21. Ghrelin action on gastrointestinal functions and appetite in rat and man
Sammanfattning : To study the effect of ghrelin on the contractility of smooth muscle strips in vitro as well as the effects on fasting small bowel motility and acid secretion in vivo in rats and gastric emptying in rats and humans. To study the effect of peripherally administered ghrelin on plasma levels of glucose, insulin, glucagon, orexin A (OXA), somatostatin and gastrin in rats and ghrelin, cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) and motilin in humans.

22. Studies on the effect of orexin on upper gastrointestinal function in rats and man
Sammanfattning : Aims: To define the morphological localisation of orexin A (OXA) in the gut, and study the effect of endogenous and peripherally administered OXA on fasting small bowel motility, gastric emptying and acid secretion, hormones involved in glucose homeostasis and pharmacokinetic profile of OXA in rats and humans. Methods: The distribution of OXA, orexin receptors 1 and 2 (OX1 R, OX2R), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and various peptides were studied with immunocytochemistry in rat and human gut.

23. Gastroesephageal reflux and related motility disorders after esophageal atresia : a clinical study
Sammanfattning : The most common congenital malformation of the esophagus is esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Successful repair of EA does not ensure normal esophageal function. Disturbed esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often detected after repair of EA. LÄS MER
24. The sites and mechanisms of postoperative insulin resistance
Sammanfattning : In Sweden with nine million inhabitants, 450,000 operations (outpatients excluded) are performed every year resulting in 2,250,000 treatment days in hospital. Surgical operations are part of the treatment for 44% of all patients admitted to hospital care occupying 24% of all hospital beds. LÄS MER
25. Factors affecting body weight development and eating behaviour in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis treatment
Sammanfattning : Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hemodialysis (HD) have different metabolic effects in dialysis patients, since absorption of intraperitoneal glucose implies an additional energy source in CAPD patients. In spite of this, protein-energy malnutrition is known to occur frequently, both in patients on hemodialysis and in patients on CAPD, and an association with increased morbidity and mortality is well established.
