1. 1. Up-regulation of dopamine D₂ receptors : in vitro and in vivo studies

   Sammanfattning : In the central nervous system (CNS) dopaminergic and dopaminoceptive neurons have the ability to respond to variations in dopamine levels by for example adjusting their dopamine receptor levels. One of the most well known phenomena in this respect is that long-term blockade of D2 receptors with antipsychotic drugs leads to an increase in striatal D2 receptor density of experimental animals as well as of schizophrenic patients as measured in both post-mortem studies and in vivo positron emission tomography studies of brain.

3. 2. Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 in Platelets - Studies of Synthesis, Activity, and Glycosylation Patterns

   Författare :Helén Brogren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :PAI-1; platelets; plasma; fibrinolysis; synthesis; polymorphism; glycosylation; activity; platelet mRNA;

   Sammanfattning : Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is the main physiological inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator. Thus PAI-1 plays an important role in decreasing the fibrinolytic activity in human blood. PAI-1 is present in high concentrations in platelets and also in low concentrations in plasma, but the source of plasma PAI-1 is not known. LÄS MER

4. 3. Combinatorial Synthesis of Pilicides

   Författare :Anette Svensson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gel-phase 19F NMR spectroscopy; fluorinated linkers; E. coli bacteria; pilicides; combinatorial chemistry; solid-phase synthesis; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes a combinatorial approach to design and synthesis of three libraries of compounds, referred to as pilicides, designed to target periplasmic chaperones present in uropathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria that are the main cause of urinary tract infections. Periplasmic chaperones are required for assembly of adhesive organelles, i. LÄS MER

5. 4. Cytokine induced airway hyperreactivity characterized in an in-vitro model of asthma

   Författare :Yaping Zhang; Klinisk och experimentell allergiforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; MAPK; TNF-alpha; 5-HT; Respiratory system; Andningsorganen; Pharmacological sciences; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; interleukin-1beta; hyperresponsiveness; endothelin-1; airway; bradykinin; toxikologi; farmaci;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic disorder of the lower airways, characterized by inflammation and hyperreactivity. Pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) are known to play important roles in the pathogenesis, but our knowledge how these cytokines contribute to the development of airway hyperreactivity is limited.

7. 5. Effects of Ageing and Physical Activity on Regulation of Muscle Contraction

   Författare :Alexander Cristea; Lars Larsson; Anna-Stina Höglund; Ingrid Lundberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; ageing; sarcopenia; sprint training; progressive resistance training; in vivo function; isokinetic dynamometer; in vitro function; single permeabilised fibre; myonuclear domain; confocal microscopy; Medicine; Medicin;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to investigate the mechanisms underlying (1) the ageing-related motor handicap at the whole muscle, cellular, contractile protein and myonuclear levels; and (2) ageing-related differences in muscle adaptability.In vivo muscles function was studied in the knee extensors.
