  1. 21. Brain glycine receptors as a common target for alcohol and the relapse-preventing drug acamprosate - a preclinical study

    Författare :Pei Pei Chau; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alcoholism; Acamprosate; Glycine receptor; Preclinical study; Dopamine; Ethanol;

    Sammanfattning : Alcohol abuse and dependence make up the most prevalent categories of substance use disorders in the world. Converging evidence from the current research group has identified two receptor populations, the glycine (GlyRs) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the mesolimbic dopamine system, as two potentially important targets for the development of new medication to treat alcohol dependence.

  3. 22. Metabolic roles of adenosine : studies using genetically modified mice and transfected cells

    Författare :Stina Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Adenosine; A1 receptor; adipocyte; pancreas; skeletal muscle; GHSR1a; caffeine; metabolism and knock out mouse;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to further investigate the metabolic roles of adenosine. The endogenous nucleoside adenosine acts by binding to the four adenosine receptors, A1R, A2AR, A2BR and A3R. The A1R is the adenosine receptor that has been proposed to be the one most involved in metabolism. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Mixed Effects Modeling of Deterministic and Stochastic Dynamical Systems - Methods and Applications in Drug Development

    Författare :Jacob Leander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pharmacometrics; pharmacokinetics; mixed effects; drug development; pharmacodynamics; parameter estimation; time-to-event; mathematical modeling; dynamical systems;

    Sammanfattning : Mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are commonly used for describing the evolution of a system over time. In drug development, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) models are used to characterize the exposure and effect of drugs. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Molecular mechanisms of HLA associations with myasthenia gravis

    Författare :Peter Hjelmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Myasthenia gravis; MHC; HLA; T cell receptor; acetylcholine receptor; TNF-a; thymus complex disease trait; autoimmunity; molecular modelling; stratification; DNA polymorphisms;

    Sammanfattning : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease characterised by muscle weakness due to an autoimmune attack against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). MG has a complex pattern of inheritance and several genetic and environmental factors are important in conferring susceptibility to the disease. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Nerve injury induced pain and spinal cord stimulation

    Författare :Camilla Ultenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Neuropathic pain;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic neuropathic pain caused by injury to or disease in the nervous system is relatively common and results in major suffering, poor quality of life and incapacity. Such pain is a therapeutic challenge because a considerable portion of the patients fails to benefit from pharmacotherapy. LÄS MER
