  2. 1. From Food Preference to Craving : Behavioural Traits and Molecular Mechanisms

    Author : Johan Alsiö; Helgi B Schiöth; Jonas Lindblom; Anna M Kindlundh-Högberg; Suzanne Dickson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; Reward; Food preferences; Dietary fats; Dietary carbohydrates; Anxiety; Dopamine; Craving; Operant self-administration; Pharmacology; Farmakologi; Farmakologi; Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Preference for palatable and energy-dense foods may be a risk factor for body weight gain and has both genetic and environmental components. Once obesity develops in an individual, weight loss is difficult to achieve. READ MORE

  4. 2. Anabolic androgenic steroids and central monoaminergic systems : Supratherapeutic doses of nandrolone decanoate affect dopamine and serotonin

    Author : Carolina Birgner; Lena Bergström; Anna Kindlundh-Högberg; Fred Nyberg; Stefan Brené; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; anabolic androgenic steroids; nandrolone decanoate; dopamine; serotonin; rat; central nervous system; Pharmacology; Farmakologi;

    Abstract : Supratherapeutic doses of anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) are administered, not only as performance-enhancing drugs in the world of sports, but also in order to modify behaviour. AAS abusers are at risk of developing serious physical and psychological side effects such as dependence and aggressive behaviour. READ MORE

  5. 3. Models and biomarkers of motor and neuropsychiatric complications in Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Katrine Skovgård; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s disease Parkinsonism; Dyskinesia; Drug-Induced; Oscillations; Local field potentials; Impulsive-compulsive behaviours; Dopamine agonists; Animal Models; Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by typicalmotor symptoms that are caused by severe dopamine depletion in the cortico-basalganglia network. Parkinsonian motor symptoms are improved by dopaminergicmedications, the most effective being the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. READ MORE

  6. 4. Behavioural and biochemical pharmacology of adenosine/dopamine receptor/receptor interaction

    Author : Roberto Rimondini-Giorgini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adenosine; A; receptors; A2A receptors; dopamine; D1 receptors; D2 receptors; mGluR receptors; striatum; immediately early genes; c-fos; junB; NGFI-A; microdialysis; receptor binding; in situ hybridisation;

    Abstract : The neurotransmitter dopamine seems to be involved in neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Direct blockade of dopamine receptors of the D2 subtype has been the hallmark of pharmacotherapy for schizophrenia since early 1950s. READ MORE

  7. 5. Emerging pharmacotherapies for Parkinson's Disease: Experimental studies in the rat

    Author : Hanna Iderberg; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s Disease; L-DOPA; L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia; rat model of Parkinson s disease; behavioural pharmacology;

    Abstract : Parkinson´s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the typical motor symptoms, akinesia/bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor. These symptoms are caused by a deficiency of dopamine (DA) in the brain, which depends on degeneration of DA neurons in the substantia nigra. READ MORE
