  2. 6. Thermo- and chemosensitive properties of Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 ion channels

    Author : Lavanya Moparthi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TRP ion channels; TRPA1; ankyrin repeat domain; thermosensation; chemosensation; cold sensor; electrophiles; non-electrophiles; planar lipid bilayers; patch-clamp; fluorescence spectroscopy; mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : The ability to sense and accommodate to an ever-changing environment is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a large superfamily of cation conducting membrane proteins that function as molecular sensors in diverse sensory processes including perception of light, taste, smell, sound, touch and temperature.

  4. 7. Biological effects of glucose degradation products in peritoneal dialysis fluids

    Author : Peter Jonasson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Peritoneal dialysis; glucose degradation products; peritonitis; peritoneum; neutrophils; macrophages; vital microscopy; microcirculation; complement; leukocyte recruitment; respiratory burst.;

    Abstract : Background: It is well known that Peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids have biological effects on a number of cells and tissues in the peritoneum and the peritoneal cavity. However, little attention has been paid to the influence of glucose degradation products (GDPs), formed during heat-sterilization and storage of PD fluids. READ MORE

  5. 8. Contribution of the sensory nervous system : an experimental study in the rat

    Author : Olle Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : edema; hindpaw withdrawal latency HWL ; inflammation; microcirculation; scalding; sensory nervous system; sensory neuropeptide antagonists; sensory neuropeptides; thermal injury;

    Abstract : The pathophysiological background to burn induced inflammatory reactions is poorly understood and present therapy options are limited. A model of thermal injury was developed to enable investigations of the acute inflammatory reactions in the periphery as well as of the transmission of nociception at the spinal cord level. READ MORE
