  4. 2. Drug and alcohol induced hepatotoxicity

    Author : Angelica Butura; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Hepatotoxicity; in vitro models; alcoholic liver disease; CYP2E1;

    Abstract : Drug induced hepatotoxicity is the most common reason cited for withdrawal of already approved drugs from the market and accounts for more than 50 percent of cases of acute liver failure in the United States. Ethanol (EtOH) causes a further substantial amount of liver insufficiencies world wide. READ MORE

  5. 3. Levodopa- and Neuroleptic-Induced Dyskinesias : Studies on Pharmacological Modification and Processing of Opioid Neuropeptides

    Author : Rebecka Klintenberg; Alan Crossman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biological research on drug dependence; Opioid peptides; dyskinesia; Parkinson s disease; mass spectrometry; metabolism; Biologisk beroendeforskning; Biological research on drug dependence; Biologisk beroendeforskning; biologisk beroendeforskning; Biological Research on Drug Dependence;

    Abstract : Dyskinesias or abnormal involuntary movements are a debilitating complication of long-term levodopa treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that is widely experienced and may compromise the efficacy of the drug therapy. Tardive dyskinesia is another important adverse effect seen with antipsychotic drug treatment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mitochondrial medicine. New strategies to evaluate drug toxicity and develop pharmacological protection of the cell’s powerhouse

    Author : Sarah Piel; Klinisk neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : mitochondria; drug-induced mitochondrial toxicity; mitochondrial disease; mitochondrial medicine; drug development; succinate; methylene blue; metformin; acetaminophen; paracetamol; Kolliphor® EL;

    Abstract : Mitochondria produce the majority of the cell’s energy. Any dysfunction in, or interference with mitochondrial function can have severe consequences. And yet, it was only within the last decades that screening for potential mitochondrial toxicity was included as routine toxicity assay during early drug development. READ MORE

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

    Author : Katrine Skovgård; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []

    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
