  2. 1. Macrophages, Nitric oxide synthases and Heme oxygenases: possible roles during peripheral nerve regeneration

    Author : Sofia Magnusson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; satellite cells; peripheral ganglia; cell signalling; nerve regeneration; heme oxygenase; Macrophages; nitric oxide synthase; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to investigate the suggestions that macrophages, and the systems generating nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), i.e. nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and heme oxygenases (HO), could be important for peripheral nerve regeneration. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immunofluorescence Investigation on Neuroendocrine Secretory Protein 55 (NESP55) in Nervous Tissues

    Author : Yongling Li; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NESP55; neuropeptdides; chromogranins; the CAD cell line; rat; spinal cord; sympathetic ganglia; retrograde tracing; immunofluorescence; confocal microscopy; secretory pathway;

    Abstract : The chromogranin family is a group of acidic, soluble, and heat-stable proteins widespread in various neuronal, neuroendocrine and endocrine tissues, where they are subcellullarly located in the secretory granules, participating in the formation of the granules. Extracellularly, chromogranins may act as protein precursors, proteolytically processed to various small bioactive peptides. READ MORE

  5. 3. Expression and regulation of neuronal messenger molecules : focus on the NO-cGMP pathway and galanin in autonomic and sensory neurons

    Author : Kristina Holmberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : adrenal gland; autonomic ganglia; cGMP; dorsal root ganglion; galanin; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; nerve growth factor; neuropeptides; nitric oxide synthase; sodium nitroprusside; transgenic mice;

    Abstract : The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric divisions. The sympathetic pre- and paravertebral neurons are in principle of noradrenergic phenotype. However, originally pharmacological experiments indicated that sympathetic fibers projecting to the sweat glands are cholinergic. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Peptide (PACAP): An Experimental Study On the Expression and Regulation in the Peripheral Nervous System

    Author : Kristian Moller; Neuroendokrin cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytokemi; histokemi; Histologi; vävnadskultur; Histology; cytochemistry; histochemistry; tissue culture;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with PACAP and PACAP type-1 receptors in the sensory and autonomic parts of the peripheral nervous system. In the rat, PACAP is expressed in small-sized sensory neurons and in C-fibers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Transcriptional regulation of the neuropeptide galanin : special reference to axotomy

    Author : Jacqueline D Corness; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : galanin; axotomy; nerve injury; neuropeptide; leukaemia inhibiting factor; transcription; dorsal root ganglion; nerve growth factor;

    Abstract : Galanin is a neuropeptide which is located in both the central and peripheral nervous system. In peripheral neurones, this peptide is thought to be involved in influencing pain sensation after nerve injury (neuropathic pain) and also in the regeneration of peripheral nerves. READ MORE
