2. 1. Vascular effects of prostacyclin in cat skeletal muscle and in the traumatised rat brain

   Author : Peter Bentzer; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reflection coefficient; cerebral blood flow; hydraulic conductivity; oedema; capilary filtration coefficient; endothelin-1; ATP-dependent potassium channels; Physiology; Fysiologi;

   Abstract : Disturbances in microvascular function may be important for tissue damage in many disease states. Prostacyclin, a substance produced by endothelial cells, is important for the maintenance of normal vascular homeostasis and is a potential drug for treatment of microvascular dysfunction, but indications and optimal dosage remains to be established.

4. 2. Aspects on the modulation of potassium channels in insulin-producing beta-cells

   Author : Zuheng Ma; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : islets of Langerhans; over-stimulation; diazoxide; exocytosis; proteasome; microarray; Kv1.1.;

   Abstract : This thesis attempts to further clarify mechanisms behind the negative effects of overstimulation and the beneficial effect of β-cell rest. For this purpose diazoxide - opener of K+-ATP channels, which reversibly inhibits glucose-induced insulin secretion, was used as a probe. READ MORE
