1. Cyanide and central nervous system : a study with focus on brain dopamine
Sammanfattning : The brain is a major target site in acute cyanide intoxication, as indicated by several symptoms and signs. Cyanide inhibits the enzyme cytochrome oxidase. This inhibition causes impaired oxygen utilization in all cells affected, severe metabolic acidosis and inhibited production of energy. LÄS MER
2. Pea-Protein Products for Food Applications Methods for Improving Iron and Zinc Availability
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals with some aspects of and possibilities for the production of pea protein with improved nutritional and physiological qualities. The improved pea protein can be used as a beneficial alternative to soya protein in food applications, such as infant formula. LÄS MER
3. Galanin receptor ligands
Sammanfattning : In the nervous system galanin primarily displays a modulatory role. The galaninergic system consists of a number of bioactive peptides with a highly plastic expression pattern and three different receptors. The lack of receptor subtype selective ligands and antibodies have severely hampered the charac-terization of this system. LÄS MER
4. Synthesis of inositol phosphoglycans and analogues thereof
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the synthesis of inositol phosphoglycans (IPG) corresponding to glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors found on the cell surface of the parasite Leishmania. Synthesis of an IPG which is a putative second messenger for insulin, and of analogues thereof is also discussed. LÄS MER
5. Evolution and Pharmacology of Receptors for Bradykinin and Neuropeptide Y in Vertebrates
Sammanfattning : The bradykinin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The GPCRs form the largest class of therapeutic targets and it is therefore of great interest to investigate the pharmacological properties, functions and evolution of these receptors. LÄS MER
