    Abstract : The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the central control of water balance and micturition has not yet been established. In the present thesis, where female rats were used, neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) distribution was studied in structures of the central nervous system known to be associated with the above mentioned control.

  4. 2. Anatomical studies of the dopamine system in the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland

    Author : Arash Hellysaz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The hypothalamus is a small, evolutionarily conserved brain region, necessary for our survival as individuals and as a species. It collects various sensory inputs, process them to maintain homeostasis and to overcome stressors, and generates outputs that affect the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system and somatomotor behaviors.

  5. 3. Region-specific expression of the interleukin-1 system in rat brain following endotoxin challenge and excitotoxic neurodegeneration

    Author : Charlotta Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Traditionally, up-regulation and secretion of cytokines are associated with peripheral immune and inflammatory responses. There is now evidence that cytokines also exert various actions in the central nervous system (CNS). READ MORE
