  2. 1. Intestinal Bypass and Total Parenteral Nutrition: Changes in Gut Function and Morphology

    Author : Mikael Ekelund; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; orthopaedics; Surgery; Gastroenterologi; Gastro-enterology; Fysiologi; Physiology; total parenteral nutrition; supersensitivity; plasticity; intestinal bypass; interstitial cells of Cajal; goblet cells; eosinophils; adaptation; enteric nervous system;

    Abstract : Abolition of enteral nutrition is sometimes required in severe illness. The primary aim of the present work has been to elucidate possible changes in intestinal morphology and motor function in absence of enteral nutrition. Total absence of enteral nutrition in an isolated intestinal segment was created by bypassing the distal ileum in a rat model. READ MORE

  4. 2. Dopamine D2 receptor G protein coupling and it's regulation

    Author : Anton Terasmaa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Dopamine; D2 receptor; G protein; supersensitivity; 6-hydroxydopamine; [3 S]GTP-gamma-S; radioligand binding;

    Abstract : Dopamine (DA) receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein coupled receptors. The D2 DA receptor is negatively coupled with adenylate cyclase via pertussis toxin sensitive (Gi/o) G proteins. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modulation of serous salivary gland function by the sympathetic nervous system : a biochemical and ultrastructural study with special reference to β-adrenoceptor subtypes

    Author : Roger Henriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Rat parotid gland; guinea-pig submandibular gland; ß-adrenoceptor subtypes; sympathetic denervation; sympathetic superstimulation; amylase secretion; cyclic AMP; ultrastructural stereology;

    Abstract : The aim of the present investigation was to study the influence of the sympathetic nervous system and of various adrenoceptor agents on enzyme secretion and morphology in rat parotid and guinea-pig submandibular glands. Biochemical methods were combined with electron microscopical techniques. READ MORE
