  2. 1. Involvement of non-dopaminergic systems in L-DOPA-induced dyskinsia

    Author : Daniella Rylander; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s disease; Dyskinesia; L-DOPA; 6-OHDA rat model; MPTP monkey model; glutamate; serotonin; DA.; 5-HT;

    Abstract : Parkinson's disease and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) does not merely involve the dopamine (DA) system but also include non-dopaminergic systems such as glutamate and serotonin (5-HT). An aberrant glutamate transmission at the corticostriatal synapse, has been linked to LID. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular regulation of rat histidine decarboxylase

    Author : Christine Dartsch; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physiology; omeprazole; antiserum; fetal rat liver; COS-7 cells; purification; bacterial expression; protein turnover; ECL cells; gastric mucosa; gastrin; histdine decarboxylase; histamine; Fysiologi; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

    Abstract : Histamine is involved in a variety of physiological processes like gastric acid secretion, inflammation and neurotransmission. The production of histamine is catalysed by the enzyme histidine decarboxylase (HDC), which is a strongly regulated enzyme. READ MORE

  5. 3. Genetic dissection of experimental arthritis in the DA rat

    Author : Liselotte Bäckdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : RA; Experimental arthritis; QTL; congene; Aplec; > human association;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting peripheral joints. Persistent inflammation causes cartilage deterioration with severe joint deformations as a consequence. The etiology is largely unknown but complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Role of Dopamine-Metabolising Enzymes in Renal Sodium Handling. An Experimental Study in vivo

    Author : Cecilia Odlind; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology and anatomy; dopamine; kidney; sodium; MAO; COMT; rat; mice; RBF; oxygen; renal; L-dopa; DOPAC; entacapone; phenelzine; dopamine receptors; Fysiologi och anatomi; Physiology and pharmacology; Fysiologi och farmakologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Abstract : Dopamine (DA) has been shown to act as an intrarenal natriuretic hormone and defects in the renal DA system have been associated with some forms of hypertension. How the DA activity is upregulated durin- increased sodium intake is, however, unknown. READ MORE

  7. 5. Presynaptic mechanisms in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

    Author : Hanna Lindgren; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; dyskinesia; 5-HT; DA; Parkinson s disease; 6-OHDA; microdialysis;

    Abstract : This study has investigated the impact of presynaptic factors on the development of dyskinesia during chronic L-DOPA treatment in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The mechanisms causing dyskinesia are not completely understood but have been proposed to involve changes in gene and protein expression in striatal neurons, which are the main target of dopamine (DA) projections from the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc).
