11. Models for the Transfer of Drugs from the Nasal Cavity to the Central Nervous System
Sammanfattning : The blood-brain barrier restricts the access of many compounds, including therapeutic agents, to the brain. Several human studies indicate that nasal administration of hydrophilic compounds, such as peptides, can bypass the blood-brain barrier. The aims of this thesis were to develop and refine models for this direct nose-to-brain transfer. LÄS MER
12. Seasonal variations in general activity, behaviour and cutaneous glandular structures in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)
Sammanfattning : The locomotor activity of the reindeer is separated into a diurnal and a nocturnal phase which, in turn, consists of a number of short-term activity bursts. The onset and termination of diurnal and nocturnal activity are largely in synchrony with sunrise and sunset. LÄS MER
13. Expression of cathelicidin antimicrobial peptides in man and rat
Sammanfattning : Endogenous antimicrobial peptides are effectors of innate immunity. They kill microorganisms by disrupting their cell membranes, but are also believed to have signaling functions in the immune system. They are present in epithelia, secretions and phagocytic cells. LÄS MER
