  2. 11. Origin, release and functional significance of the novel gastric hormone ghrelin

    Author : Charlotta Dornonville de la Cour; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; toxicology; Farmakologi; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; Pharmacological sciences; bone metabolism; energy homeostasis; glucagon; insulin; secretion; pancreastatin; somatostatin; histamine; gastrin; gastric acid secretion; ghrelin; gastric motility; A-like cells; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi;

    Abstract : The novel gastric hormone ghrelin was discovered by virtue of its ability to release growth hormone (GH) via interaction with the so-called GH-secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Earlier only synthetic agents were known to bind with the GHS-R, hence, ghrelin is the first identified endogenous ligand. READ MORE

  4. 12. Proteins regulating vesicular docking and fusion : histochemical studies on their presence and regulation in endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuronal cells

    Author : Gunilla Jacobsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : - axotomy; botulinum neurotoxin; cranial nerve; CSP; ECL; endocrine; estrogen; exocytosis; hypothalamus; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; motoneuron; mouse; mRNA; munc-18; pancreas; parasympathetic; pituitary; rat; salt-loading; sciatic n;

    Abstract : Regulated transmitter release involves docking and fusion of transmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. Vesicular docking and fusion events are mediated by specific exocytotic proteins located at the vesicle membrane, in the cytoplasm or at the plasma membrane. READ MORE

  5. 13. Prostaglandin E2 influences the gastrointestinal endocrine cell system in the rat

    Author : Marjo Kapraali; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CCK; EC cells; ECL cells; endocrine cell system; glucagon; indomethacin; neurokinin A; neurotensin; prostaglandin E2; somatostatin;

    Abstract : Previous studies suggest that prostaglandin E2 may interact with gastrointestinal endocrine cells. Our aim was to examine whether erogenous and endogenous prostaglandins - particularly prostaglandin E2 - influence the endocrine cell system in the rat gastrointestinal tract. READ MORE

  6. 14. Characterization of antibodies against Helicobacter pylori

    Author : Jun Cao; Göran Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : H. pylori is associated with the development of peptic ulcer, gastritis, and gastric cancer. Eradication of H. pylori by antibiotic treatment gives a healing of peptic ulcer and gastritis. READ MORE

  7. 15. Vesicle proteins as markers for neuroendocrine tumors

    Author : Anne-Marie Levin Jakobsen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Neuroendocrine tumours; gastrointestinal tract; pancreas; adrenal; vesicle proteins; ; SV2; NESP55; VMAT1; VMAT2; MIBG;

    Abstract : The neuroendocrine (NE) tumours comprise a diversity of tumours which share commonproperties, e.g. the capacity to produce, store and release hormones. A prominent feature ofthe NE phenotype is the production of secretory granules with associated vescicle proteins,e. READ MORE
