  1. 16. Muscarinic Receptors in the Urinary Bladder - The role of the urothelium regarding cholinergic and nitrergic effects in inflammation

    Författare :Michael Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; urinary bladder; inflammation; cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis; muscarinic receptor; urothelium; nitric oxide; M5 receptor; rat; proliferation; micturition;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation alters the functional properties of the urinary bladder. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory syndrome in man that is characterized by urgency, frequency and visceral pain. LÄS MER

  3. 17. The γ-aminobutyric acid and proton signaling systems in the zebrafish brain : Characterization and effect of stress

    Författare :Arianna Cocco; Svante Winberg; William H. J. Norton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; g-aminobutyric acid GABA ; GABAA receptors; adult zebrafish; central nervous system; gene expression profiling; extracellular acidification.; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The central nervous system of vertebrates is continuously processing sensory information relayed from the periphery, integrating it and producing outputs transmitted to efferents. In the brain, neurons employ an array of messenger molecules to filter afferent information and finely regulate synaptic transmission. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Drug Metabolites Formed by Cunninghamella Fungi : Mass Spectrometric Characterization and Production for use in Doping Control

    Författare :Axel Rydevik; Mikael Hedeland; Ulf Bondesson; David Cowan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cunninghamella blakesleeana; Cunninghamella elegans; Doping Control; Drug Metabolites; Glucuronide Production; Mass Spectrometry; Reactive Metabolites; Reference Material; Structural Characterization; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry; Analytisk farmaceutisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the in vitro production of drug metabolites using fungi of the Cunninghamella species. The metabolites were characterized with mainly liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using ion-trap and quadrupole-time-of-flight instruments. A fungal in vitro model has several advantages e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Advances in Ligand Binding Predictions using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Författare :Henrik Keränen; Johan Åqvist; Jordi Villà i Freixa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free-energy perturbation; molecular dynamics; ligand binding; free-energy perturbation; linear interaction energy; binding free-energy; homology modeling; virtual screening; alanine scanning; amino acid mutagenesis; hERG; GPCR; adenosine receptor; serotonin receptor; BRICHOS; cruzain;

    Sammanfattning : Biochemical processes all involve associations and dissociations of chemical entities. Understanding these is of substantial importance for many modern pharmaceutical applications. In this thesis, longstanding problems with regard to ligand binding are treated with computational methods, applied to proteins of key pharmaceutical importance. LÄS MER

  7. 20. A Solution Exchange Platform for Exposure of Cells to Chemical Waves

    Författare :Jessica Olofsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; waveform synthesis; solution exchange; cell signalling; patch clamp; receptor; high through-put; microfluidics; microfabrication; channel; chemical oscillations; ion channel; poly dimethylsiloxane ; drug discovery;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the development, characterization and suggested applications of a platform for controlling the chemical environment around a cell or a cell constituent. The platform is unique in its capability to combine rapid solution switching with precise timing and access to a manifold of solution environments. LÄS MER
