  2. 21. Cloning and characterization of neuropeptide Y receptors of the Y1 subfamily in mammals and fish

    Author : Paula Starbäck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; G-protein; neuropeptide Y; panacreatic polypeptide; neuropeptide Y receptor; ortholog; zebrafish; guinea pig; pseudogene; evolution; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an abundant neurotransmitter in the nervous system and forms a family of evolutionarily related peptides together with peptide YY (PYY), pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and polypeptide Y (PY). These peptides are ligands to a family of receptors that mediate a wide range of physiological effects including stimulation of appetite. READ MORE

  4. 22. On the Site of the Lesion in Konzo : Clinical and Neurophysiological Studies on a Non-Progressive Upper Motor Neuron Disorder

    Author : Desire Tshala-Katumbay; Andrew Eisen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Konzo; upper motor neuron diseases; WHO criteria; electroencephalography; evoked potentials; brain involvement; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Konzo is a permanent spastic para/tetraparesis occurring in undernourished populations in Africa relying on insufficiently processed bitter cassava, which contains cyanogenic compounds, as staple food. Its pathogenetic mechanism is unknown. Our studies aimed at clarifying the lesion in konzo. READ MORE

  5. 23. Systemic hypothermia after spinal cord injury : An experimental study in the rat

    Author : Hans Westergren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Spinal cord injury; hypothermia; rat; treatment; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Spinal cord injury following trauma results in suffering for each individual independent of the severity of the neurological deficits. Care of the acute spinal cord injured patients has developed from the purely conservative treatment advocated 20-30 years ago to today's active strategies. READ MORE

  6. 24. Molecular evolution of the neuropeptide Y receptor family : Insights from mammals and fish

    Author : Amanda Wraith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Most genes in the genomes of vertebrates form families with multiple members that are more or less closely related. This thesis concerns investigations of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) family of peptides and the family of receptors to which these peptides bind, the NPY receptors. READ MORE

  7. 25. In search of lost disease : Clinical, qualitative and imaging studies to investigate long-term effects of autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple sclerosis

    Author : Andreas Tolf; Joachim Burman; Anne-Marie Landtblom; Tobias Granberg; Laura Airas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : With the introduction of autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), there are now individuals living without experiencing disease activity of MS. Are they cured? There is a need for terminology to describe the state of these individuals. READ MORE
