  2. 1. α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors in the Eye : Pharmacological and Functional Characterization

    Author : Anna Wikberg-Matsson; Thomas Mittag; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; α1-adrenoceptor subtypes; α2-adrenoceptor subtypes; iris; ciliary body; choroid; retina; ciliary artery; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Ophtalmology; oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors are involved in various physiological events in the eye: blood flow regulation, aqueous humor dynamics and pupil regulation. The α1- and α2-adrenoceptors can be further subdivided into six subtypes (α1A, α1B, α1D, α2A , α2B, and α2C ). READ MORE

  4. 2. The role of progesterone in the regulation of ciliary activity in the fallopian tube

    Author : Magdalena Nutu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : progesterone; progesterone receptor; non-genomic progesterone receptor; ciliated cells; fallopian tube; gamete transport; ciliary activity; ciliary beat frequency; reproduction; fertility;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the distribution and regulation of membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) that may be involved in regulating ciliary activity in the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube serves to transport the egg and spermatozoa to achieve fertilization. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cystatin C in the Eye and in Specific Model Systems

    Author : Johan Wasselius; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; protein uptake; ciliary body; lens; cornea; retina; eye; Cystatin C; cathepsin B; Oftalmologi;

    Abstract : It is a necessity of life to make proteins, and it is an equal necessity to degrade those proteins, to eliminate dysfunctional proteins, and leave room for new ones. The processes of protein synthesis and degradation into peptides - proteolysis - have attracted a great interest during the last decades. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interplay between mitochondria, primary cilium, diabetes and its complications

    Author : Noah Moruzzi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diabetes is one of the major health problems of the 21st century. Dysfunction of the insulin secreting pancreatic β-cell together with insulin resistance is central to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The cause of the disease and the underlying mechanisms linking hyperglycemia to diabetes complications are still unclear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ocular growth and lens size

    Author : Ulla Kugelberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : congenital cataract; lens thickness; intraocular implants; ocular axial length; corneal diameter; infant eye; rabbit eye;

    Abstract : Ocular axial length growth was investigated with special reference to the influence of crystalline lens and different intraocular lens implants, in human infants and three week-old rabbits. First it was concluded, in a retrospective study of children with bilateral congenital cataract, that lensectomy during the first months of life resulted in almost normal visual development. READ MORE
