  2. 11. Natural Products as Leads for Pharmaceutically Active Compounds

    Author : Pia Kahnberg; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; scaffold hopping; Catalyst; anxiety; benzodiazepine site; GABAA receptor; pharmacophore model; flavones; SAR; antifungal activity; Complex I; pterulone; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Biochemical technology; Biokemisk teknik;

    Abstract : In the search for new pharmaceutically active compounds, it is recognized that Nature produces structurally different compounds in a great variety. By having the compounds or extracts tested in defined systems, new drugs or more often leads (a compound that has an interesting but moderate activity) can be found. READ MORE

  4. 12. Regulation and Function of RNA Editing in the Mammalian Brain

    Author : Chammiran Daniel; Marie Öhman; Joshua Rosenthal; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RNA editing; ADAR; GABAA receptor; Gabra-3; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Adenosine (A) to inosine (I) RNA editing is a widespread post-transcriptional mechanism in eukaryotes that increases the protein diversity. Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) are the enzymes that catalyze this conversion. READ MORE

  5. 13. Chloride Homeostasis in Central Neurons

    Author : Tushar Yelhekar; Staffan Johansson; Michael Druzin; Merab Kokaia; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chloride concentration; current-voltage relation; interpolation; voltage ramp; reversal potential; [Cl–]i recovery; KCC2; extracellular matrix; GABAA receptor; chloride leak conductance; neurosteroid; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the present thesis is to clarify the control of intracellular chloride homeostasis in central neurons, because of the critical role of chloride ions (Cl–) for neuronal function. Normal function of the central nervous system (CNS) depends on a delicate balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. READ MORE

  6. 14. Central vestibular compensation : the role of the GABAB receptor

    Author : Anna Magnusson; Ulrich Büttner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The remarkable capacity for adaptive plastic changes in response to changed internal or external conditions is a distinctive feature of the vestibular system. Even in adults the system can be modified throughout life due to altered conditions caused by disease. trauma, medical treatment or normal ageing. READ MORE

  7. 15. Ethanol-induced modulation of dopamine transmission and synaptic activity in striatal subregions - focus on inhibitory receptors

    Author : Rhona B. C. Clarke; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dopamine; ethanol; acetaldehyde; striatum; glycine receptor; GABA A receptor;

    Abstract : Background: Alcoholism is a chronic brain disease, affecting neurocircuitries involved in reward and learning. The rewarding effects of alcohol (ethanol) are believed to result from increased dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens (nAc) via the mesolimbic system. READ MORE
