  2. 21. Save the brain! Studies on GLP-1-mediated neuroprotection

    Author : Martin Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) suffer stroke more often and have worse recovery. Moreover, hyperglycemic stroke patients treated with thrombolytic therapy have more intracranial bleedings. READ MORE

  4. 22. Uncoupling Proteins : Regulation by IGF-1 and Neuroprotection during Hyperglycemia in Vitro

    Author : Helena Gustafsson; Anna Forsby; David Tomlinson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; uncoupling protein; oxidative stress; diabetes; neuropathy; SH-SY5Y; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi;

    Abstract : Diabetic neuropathy is believed to arise due to oxidative stress following hyperglycemic situations. Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) constitute a subgroup of mitochondrial transporter proteins with putative antioxidant properties. READ MORE

  5. 23. Studies on astrocyte function : potential roles in brain water homeostasis and neuroprotection

    Author : Yutong Song; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Astrocytes are essential in brain homeostasis and function, including maintenance of water and ion balance. Astrocytes express the water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4), implicated in both physiological functions and injury processes associated with brain edema, a common consequence of brain diseases.

  6. 24. Studies into The Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection in Rd1 Mouse Retina

    Author : Seifollah Azadi; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; signaling pathway ; Ophtalmology; neurotrophic factors ; Oftalmologi; retina degeneration ;

    Abstract : Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of uncured retinal diseases with the world wide incidence of about 1/3500. In spite of the huge efforts in past years, the mechanisms underlying this type of hereditary blindness has not been elucidated and nor any effective treatment available. READ MORE

  7. 25. NR4A orphan nuclear receptors in immediate early regulation of retinoid signaling and neuroprotection

    Author : Nikolaos Volakakis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : NR4A receptors show distinct properties that make them unique within the family of nuclear receptors. They lack a ligand-binding cavity and a canonical coactivator-binding site and they are induced both in vivo and in vitro in an immediate early way by an extremely wide repertoire of substances/conditions.
