1. Tryptophan-related Neurotransmission in the Brain: Disturbances Associated with Experimental Hepatic Encephalopathy
Abstract : In the present study, L-tryptophan (TRP)-related disturbances in the brain in experimental hepatic encephalopathy (HE) were investigated. The endogenous NMDA-receptor agonist and L-TRP metabolite quinolinic acid (QUIN) has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of HE. READ MORE

2. Studies on nitric oxide in autonomic neurotransmission
Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to study nitric oxide (NO) as a mediator in autonomic neurotransmission in the enteric nervous system, including studies on the mechanism for neuronal release of NO, as well as the effects of NO on intestinal smooth muscle and enteric neurones. Furthermore, the signal transduction pathway for the evoked effects of NO and nitrergic neurotransmission were investigated. READ MORE

4. PET evaluation of central serotonergic neurotransmission in women
Abstract : The serotonin (5-HT) system is of central interest in the patophysiology and treatment of several psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety and suicide. In women, functioning of the 5-HT system is of particular importance since they have been found to suffer more often from 5-HT-associated disorders compared to men. READ MORE

5. Galanin : a modulator of serotonin neurotransmission : relevance for depression
Abstract : Galanin is widely distributed throughout the central nervous system with multiple and diverse biological roles. In the rat, galanin-like immunoreactivity is expressed in a population of5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) neurons in the dorsal raphe (DR) with extensive projections to the forebrain areas e.g., hippocampus.
