  2. 1. Prostaglandin E2 in Brain-mediated Illness Responses

    Author : Louise Elander; Anders Blomqvist; Marianne Schultzberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostaglandin e2; PGE2; cox-1; cox-2; mPGES-1; fever; anorexia; food intake; HPA-axis; EP-receptor; LPS; IL-1; IL-6; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi;

    Abstract : We are unceasingly exposed to potentially harmful microorganisms. The battle against threatening infectious agents includes activation of both the innate and of the adaptive immune systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. Advanced Mass Spectrometry Imaging in Neuropharmacology

    Author : Theodosia Vallianatou; Per E. Andrén; Anna Nilsson; Mohammadreza Shariatgorji; Maria Karlgren; Irena Loryan; Nathalie Agar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mass spectrometry imaging; neuropharmacology; blood brain barrier; drug-drug interactions; aging; tacrine;

    Abstract : Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has emerged as a valuable approach for mapping multiple molecular species in sections of diverse tissues. It enables simultaneous detection of numerous compounds (from neurotransmitters to small proteins) in the brain at relatively high lateral resolution (>5 μm) on a routine basis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Low Protein Diets and Their Effects on Brown Adipose Tissue

    Author : Erik Lindsund; Jan Nedergaard; Eva Blomstrand; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Obesity; Protein diets; Dietary protein; Brown adipose tissue; Brown fat; BAT; UCP10; Uncoupeling protein 1; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Obesity is a rising health issue and has been linked with a relative decrease of dietary protein, which promotes higher food intake. Brown adipose tissue is a heat-producing, energy-wasting organ that has been shown to be enhanced by a low protein diet. However, the mechanism of how this occurs is largely unknown. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cardiopulmonary bypass: Clinical studies in cardiac surgery patients

    Author : Mikael Barbu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiopulmonary bypass; Cardiac surgery; Colloid; Prime; Acute kidney injury; Brain injury marker; Hemostasis;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is necessary to facilitate most cardiac operations. Although the vast majority of patients tolerate CPB physiology in conjunction with cardiac surgery well, there is risks of adverse outcomes. Optimal CPB perfusion is not defined, and may vary according to operation and patient specific factors. READ MORE

  7. 5. The functional impact of gut microbiota on CNS regulation of local and systemic homeostasis

    Author : Afrouz Abbaspour; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The “gut microbiota” is widely accepted as an integral part of the gut homeostasis, and is thought to contribute to the establishment of intestinal barrier. Growing body of research suggest that the influence of gut microbiota on host development and physiology reaches beyond the gastrointestinal tract, and the brain is not an exception. READ MORE
