    Abstract : Supratherapeutic doses of anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) are administered, not only as performance-enhancing drugs in the world of sports, but also in order to modify behaviour. AAS abusers are at risk of developing serious physical and psychological side effects such as dependence and aggressive behaviour. READ MORE

    Abstract : The blood-brain barrier restricts the access of many compounds, including therapeutic agents, to the brain. Several human studies indicate that nasal administration of hydrophilic compounds, such as peptides, can bypass the blood-brain barrier. The aims of this thesis were to develop and refine models for this direct nose-to-brain transfer. READ MORE

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In response to injury, tissues employ conserved reparative mechanisms to heal the damage and recover their function. The reparative success varies according to the organism, the tissue or organ, and the age of the specimen. The reparative response occurs through two separate but overlapping processes: wound healing and regeneration. READ MORE
