1. Glutamate for metabolic intervention in coronary surgery with special reference to the GLUTAMICS-trial
University dissertation from Örebro : Örebro universitetAbstract : Myocardial ischemia is a major cause of postoperative heart failure and adverse outcome in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Conventional treatment of postoperative heart failure with inotropic drugs may aggravate underlying ischemic injury. READ MORE

2. Glutamate Turnover and Energy Metabolism in Brain Injury Clinical and Experimental Studies
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : During brain activity neurons release the major excitatory transmitter glutamate, which is taken up by astrocytes and converted to glutamine. Glutamine returns to neurons for re-conversion to glutamate. This glutamate-glutamine cycle is energy demanding. READ MORE

3. Plasticity of the developing glutamate synapse in the hippocampus
University dissertation from Göteborg : Göteborg UniversityAbstract : Synapses are highly plastic, i.e. they have the ability to change their signaling strength both in the short- and long-term (e.g. READ MORE

4. Creating Ultrafast Biosensors for Neuroscience
University dissertation from ; Chalmers tekniska högskola; GothenburgAbstract : Neuronal communication is the basis for all our brain function and relies on regulated exocytosis, a cell function that involves release of quantal amounts of neurotransmitters into the gap space between interconnected neurons to serve as chemical signals. To study exocytosis, which is a fast process that occurs on the timescale of sub-milliseconds to milliseconds, a toolbox of analytical methods has been developed where the electrochemical based techniques offer quantitative and sufficient high temporal recording speed.

5. GABA-, glycine- and glutamate-induced currents in rat medial preoptic neurons functional interactions and modulation by capsaicin
University dissertation from Umeå : Integrativ medicinsk biologiAbstract : The medial preoptic nucleus (MPN) of the hypothalamus plays a major role in many functions involved in maintaining bodily homeostasis, such as thermoregulation and osmoregulation, as well as in the control of complex behaviours, e.g. sexual behaviour.
