  1. 16. Neuronal types and their specification dynamics in the autonomic nervous system

    Författare :Alessandro Furlan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The autonomic nervous system is formed by a sympathetic and a parasympathetic division that have complementary roles in the maintenance of body homeostasis. Autonomic neurons, also known as visceral motor neurons, are tonically active and innervate virtually every organ in our body. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Speciation and Metabolic rate : Insights from an avian hybrid zone

    Författare :S. Eryn McFarlane; Anna Qvarnström; Jenny Boughman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resting metabolic rate; life history; hybridization; speciation; reproductive isolation; Ficedula flycatcher; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : The role of divergent climate adaptation in speciation has received surprisingly little scientific attention. My dissertation research focused on how resting metabolic rate (RMR) relates to the build up of prezygotic and postzygotic isolation in a natural Ficedula flycatcher hybrid zone. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Amino acid-induced thermogenesis during anaesthesia

    Författare :Eva Brzezinska Selldén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : General anaesthesia causes hypothermia due to decreased metabolic rate and impaired thermoregulation. Adverse effects of hypothermia are coagulation disorders, wound infection, ischemic cardiac events and postoperative shivering. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Estrogen receptor expression in relation to pain modulation and transmission : experimental studies in rats

    Författare :Åsa Amandusson; Anders Blomqvist; Kaj Fried; Ola Hermanson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; MEDICINE;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens have a remarkably wide range of actions in the mammalian brain. They not only play a pivotal role in reproductive behavior and sexual differentiation, but also contribute to e.g. thermoregulation, feeding, memory, neuronal survival and the perception of somatosensory stimuli.

  7. 20. Comparative analysis of the thermogenic protein UCP1 across the mammalian phylogeny

    Författare :Michael James Gaudry; Martin Jastroch; Tobias Wang; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Uncoupling protein 1; Evolution; Non-shivering thermogenesis; Brown adipose tissue; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) drives mitochondrial inefficiency to produce heat in mammalian brown adipose tissue (BAT). Many mammalian species rely on this form of adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) to defend high body temperatures in the cold. LÄS MER
