1. Effects of ethanol on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in nerve cells
Sammanfattning : This thesis focused on the mechanisms involved in the effects of long-term ethanol treatment on mAChRs and their coupled-signal transduction pathway in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. All 5 subtypes of mAChRs were expressed in these cells. LÄS MER
2. Muscarinic receptors and urinary bladder selectivity : Properties that determine the organ selectivity of compounds
Sammanfattning : Urinary bladder contraction is mainly mediated by activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR). Muscarinic antagonists are often effective in treatment of unstable bladder. The effectiveness of this treatment has often been limited by side effects as dry mouth. LÄS MER
3. Muscarinic M1 and M4 receptor subtypes in normal and pathological conditions in the central nervous system : studies on human and animal tissues using subtype selective ligands
Sammanfattning : Snake venoms from different mamba species contain toxins that bind to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR). The toxins MT-1 (selective for M1 after iodination), M1 toxin-1 (also known as MT7, selective for MI) and M4 toxin-1 (also known as MT3, selective for M4 receptors) were isolated and used to study M1 and M4 receptor subtypes in normal and pathological conditions.

4. Evolution of acetylcholine receptors and study of the anatomy of the mouse brain reward system
Sammanfattning : This thesis work is divided in two parts. In the first part, I make use of the transgenic TRPV1-Cre mouse line as a tool to investigate the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA). LÄS MER
5. Cholinergic receptors in human prenetal brain : presence, distribution and influence of nicotine and ethanol
Sammanfattning : Events early in life, including exposure to various compounds, may cause disturbances in brain development. Both maternal smoking and alcohol drinking during pregnancy can induce preand postnatal death, cognitive and neurobehavioral disturbances. LÄS MER
