  4. 2. The Duodenal Mucosal Bicarbonate Secretion : Role of Melatonin in Neurohumoral Control and Cellular Signaling

    Author : Markus Sjöblom; Gunnar Flemström; Olof Nylander; Karl EO Åkerman; Per M. Hellström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; alkaline secretion; central nervous system; duodenal enterocyte; duodenal ulcer; duodenum; enterochromaffin cell; human; intraarterial; intracellular calcium; intracerebroventricular; melatonin; rat; vagal nerve; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The duodenal lumen is exposed to aggressive factors with a high potential to cause damage to the mucosa. Bicarbonate secretion by the duodenal mucosa is accepted as the primary important defense mechanism against the hydrochloric acid intermittently expelled from the stomach. READ MORE

  5. 3. Helicobacter pylori interference with the L-arginine/NO pathway in the upper gut

    Author : Charlotte Von Bothmer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acid; bicarbonate; duodenal ulcer; Helicobacter pylori; host defence; mucosa; nitric oxide; nitric oxide synthase;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori causes chronic gastritis and sometimes peptic ulcers but the pathogenesis is not fully understood. H. pylori-infected individuals with duodenal ulcer have an impaired duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion (DMBS) in response to acid. NO is an important signalling molecule in the body. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pathogenesis and Diagnosis of Food Hypersensitivity in Adults

    Author : Jenny Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Birch pollen allergy; DBPCFC; Diagnosis; Duodenal mucosa; Eosinophils; Faecal samples; Food induced gastrointestinal hypersensitivity; IgE; Neutrophil MPO; T lymphocytes;

    Abstract : Objective tools to diagnose local gastrointestinal (GI) inflammatory reactions in patients with food hypersensitivity are lacking. To fully appreciate the mechanisms mediating allergy-like reactions in the GI tract and for improvement of diagnostic techniques more knowledge is required. READ MORE

  7. 5. On angiotensin II receptor type 2 receptors in the small intestine

    Author : Sara Ewert; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : renin-angiotensin; angiotensin; small intestine; mucosa; epithelium; AT1; AT2; bradykinin; BK2 receptor; nitric oxide; iNOS; smooth muscle; contractility;

    Abstract : The endocrine renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is important in the regulation of extracellular fluid volume and systemic blood pressure in strenuous conditions such as hypovolemia. Also present locally in peripheral tissues, all components of RAS are expressed and have been shown to modulate development, cell growth and inflammation. READ MORE
