  2. 6. The neuropeptides GRP and PACAP and the function of the endocrine pancreas - A study on receptor deficient mice

    Author : Kristin Persson; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; hypoglycemia; glucagon; insulin; islet of Langerhans; diabetes; PACAP; neuropeptides; GRP; diabetologi;

    Abstract : The parasympathetic nerves are important for the regulation of insulin secretion, in particular after meal intake. Apart from acetylcholine, several neuropeptides can be found in the parasympathetic nerves innervating the islets of Langerhans, including gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP).

  4. 7. Heart rate variability in patients with stable angina pectoris

    Author : Inge Björkander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ambulatory electrocardiographic registrations; autonomic nervous system; coronary artery disease; differential index; heart rate variability; prognosis;

    Abstract : The rate and modulation of the heart beat (i.e. heart rate variability; HRV) are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac sympathetic activation decreases and parasympathetic increases HRV. READ MORE

  5. 8. Peripheral nerve glia as multipotent progenitors in craniofacial development

    Author : Maryam Khatibi Shahidi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Craniofacial development is complex. Numerous populations of progenitor cells coordinate activities to produce an array of highly integrated tissues inside the developing head. However, it is not clear how some key multipotent progenitors continue to exist in late developing head compartments. READ MORE

  6. 9. Autonomic dysfunction in primary Sjögren's syndrome

    Author : Thomas Mandl; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; autonomic dysfunction; Sjögren s syndrome; dysphagia; neuropathy;

    Abstract : The aims of this work were to evaluate objective and subjective signs of autonomic dysfunction (AD) in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and to evaluate its clinical associations. In study I, 46 pSS patients and 56/80/238 autonomic nervous function test (ANT) controls participated. READ MORE

  7. 10. Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery : A Study of Causes and Risk Factors

    Author : Lena Jidéus; Dan Lindblom; Uppsala universitet; []
