    Author : Emelie Stenman; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vascular receptor changes; Ischemic stroke; Endothelin; Angiotensin; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Pharmacological sciences; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; toxicology; Farmakologi;

    Abstract : The present thesis aimed to examine how ischemic stroke affects the vascular endothelin and angiotensin systems in cerebral arteries. To study vascular receptor changes in ischemic stroke transient focal ischemia was induced in rats. READ MORE

  5. 8. Analysis of Secondary Metabolites from Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium nalgiovense : Antimicrobial Compounds from Filamentous Fungi Isolated from Extreme Environments

    Author : Stefan Svahn; Lars Bohlin; Björn Olsen; Ulf Göransson; Erja Chryssanthou; Douglas Kinghorn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aspergillus fumigatus; Penicillium nalgiovense; secondary metabolites; invasive aspergillosis; elicitation; gliotoxin; bis methyl gliotoxin; amphotericin B; Pharmacognosy; Farmakognosi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the cultivation and extraction of filamentous fungi isolated from extreme environments in the search for new antibiotic compounds. Filamentous fungi are a rich source of medicines including antibiotics, and it is believed that many currently unknown fungal species and bioactive fungal metabolites remain to be discovered.

  6. 9. Cyclotides : Tuning Parameters Toward Their Use in Drug Design

    Author : Mariamawit Yonathan Yeshak; Ulf Göransson; Lars Bohlin; Kaleab Asres; Robert Kiss; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : cyclotide; Viola abyssinica; Viola odorata; Extraction; Violaceae; vaby; cytotoxic; genotoxic; cell penetrating; microautoradiography; LC-MS; comet assay; cycloviolacin O2; Farmakognosi; Pharmacognosy;

    Abstract : Cyclotides are plant proteins with a unique topology, defined as the cyclic cystine knot motif. The motif endows cyclotides with exceptional chemical and biological stability. They also exhibit a wide range of biological activities including insecticidal, cytotoxic, anti-HIV and antimicrobial effects. READ MORE

  7. 10. Assessment of eosinophil degranulation in allergic diseases and experimental models

    Author : Monika Malm-Erjefält; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood; histochemistry; cytochemistry; tissue culture; Histologi; cytokemi; histokemi; vävnadskultur; animal morphology; Animal anatomy; Djurs anatomi och morfologi; Haematology; cytoplasmic granules ; Hematologi; Respiratory system; extracellulära vätskor; Andningsorganen; toxikologi; farmaci; farmakognosi; Farmakologi; toxicology; pharmacy; pharmacognosy; Klinisk biologi; Pharmacological sciences; Histology; cell separation ; mice; animal models ; biological marker ; transmission electron microscopy allergy; cell degranulation ; Clinical biology; extracellular fluids; eosinophils;

    Abstract : In allergic disorders, the eosinophilic granulocytes migrate to affected tissues and release granule proteins with cytotoxic, immunoregulatory, and remodeling-promoting properties. Given that degranulation is reflected by a loss in eosinophil granule density of living cells, or by cell membrane rupture and release of intact granules, these morphological changes may represent a biomarker of the allergic disease.
