  2. 1. Calcium signaling in astroglial cells. Noradrenergic effects and regulation

    Author : Håkan Muyderman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Astrocytes; Neurons; Noradrenaline; Glutamate; Fluorometry; Fura-2; Fluo-3; PBFI; Digital imaging; Voltage-patch-clamp; Whole-cell currents; Calcium; Potassium; Intercellular communication; Glutamate release; Neuron-glial interactions.;

    Abstract : Astroglial cells are the most common cell type in the central nervous system and express a wide array of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors. The cells organize into multicellular networks and exhibit a calcium-based excitability in which receptor-mediated calcium elevations propagate as intercellular waves over considerable distances.

  4. 2. Cell-Specific Ca2+ Response in Pancreatic ß-cells

    Author : Natalia Gustavsson; Per Lindström; Peter Bergsten; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heterogeneity; individual ß-cells; islets of Langerhans; cytoplasmic calcium; repetitive glucose stimulation; lag-time; cell-specific; glyceraldehyde; ketoisocaproic acid; tolbutamide; mitochondrial metabolism; Histology; Histologi;

    Abstract : Pancreatic ß-cells are heterogeneous in their secretory responsiveness, glucose sensitivity and metabolic rate. A diminished and delayed first-phase insulin release is an early sign of failing ß-cells in diabetes. READ MORE

  5. 3. The prostanoid FP receptor and uveoscleral outflow : A study of FP receptor expression and functions in the eye

    Author : Anette Ocklind; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Prostanoid FP receptor; tissue distribution; ciliary muscle; iris sphincter muscle; extracellularmatrix; actin; prostaglandin F2a; latanoprost; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

    Abstract : Prostaglandin F2α is a prostanoid FP receptor agonist which acts as an intraocular pressure-lowering agent by increasing the uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humour through the ciliary muscle. The aim of this, thesis was to investigate possible mechanisms of the increased uveoscleral outflow induced by prostaglandin F2α and its analogue latanoprost acid. READ MORE
