6. Neuropeptides in temporomandibular joint arthritis
Sammanfattning : Involvement of the peripheral and central nervous systems in the pathophysiology of arthritis has been suggested and neuropeptides are thought to participate in the mediation and modulation of the inflammatory process. The main objective of the clinical studies was to investigate the relationship between the presence of neuropeptides in the synovial fluid of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the stomatognathic symptoms and signs, including the intra-articular temperature (IAT), in patients with TMJ arthritis.

7. Molecular Profiling and Imaging of Peptides, Proteins and Drugs in Biological Tissue using Mass Spectrometry
Sammanfattning : Biological functions within cells and organisms are mainly carried out by the translational products; proteins and peptides. The analysis and characterization of these biomolecules are of great importance for the progress in disease research and biomarker and drug discovery. LÄS MER
8. Regulation of insulin producing cells, stress responses and metabolism in Drosophila
Sammanfattning : In Drosophila, neuropeptides have regulatory roles in development, growth, metabolism and reproduction. This study focused on GABA and the neuropeptides Drosophila tachykinin (DTK), short neuropeptide F (sNPF), adipokinetic hormone (AKH), corazonin (CRZ) and Drosophila insulin-like peptides (DILPs) as possible regulators of metabolic stress responses and homeostasis.

9. The neuronal and non-neuronal substance P, VIP and cholinergic systems in the colon in ulcerative colitis
Sammanfattning : Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease. Neuropeptides, especially vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and substance P (SP), have long been considered to play key roles in UC. Among other effects, these neuropeptides have trophic and growth-modulating as well as wound-healing effects. LÄS MER
10. Liposuction in Dercum's disease. Clinical studies regarding Dercum's disease and the effect of liposuction
Sammanfattning : Dercum’s disease is a rare condition characterised by obesity, chronic pain (>3 months) in the adipose tissue and a number of diffuse associated symptoms, such as fatigue and malaise. The aetiology of the disease is unknown. The experienced pains are often disabling and resistant to most tried treatments, such as analgesics. LÄS MER
