  2. 1. Cross transfer effects after unilateral muscle overuse : an experimental animal study about alterations in the morphology and the tachykinin system of muscles

    Author : Yafeng Song; Per Stål; Sture Forsgren; Fawzi Kadi; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Triceps surae; overuse; contralateral; muscle; muscle fiber; MyHC; capillary; tachykinin; substance P; NK-1R; inflammation; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : Unilateral exercise can produce certain contralateral strength effects. Deleterious events can be cross-transferred as well, as illustrated by a strict symmetry in some chronic inflammatory diseases. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulation of spontaneous tone in guinea pig trachea

    Author : Staffan Skogvall; Neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tetrodotoxin; lidocaine; substance P; tachykinin; prostaglandin; indomethacin; capsaicin; neuroepithelial endocrine cells; epithelium; oxygen; oscillations; spontaneous tone; Asthma; airway smooth muscle; electrical field stimulation.; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Asthma is a common disease, characterized by periods of bronchoconstriction of unclear origin. This thesis examines a specific behavior of airway smooth muscle, the so-called spontaneous airway tone. It was suspected that a defect regulation of this tone may be a cause of asthmatic bronchoconstriction. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tumour Biological Factors Characterizing Metastasizing Serotonin-producing Ileocaecal Carcinoids

    Author : Janet Lynn Cunningham; Eva Tiensuu Janson; Kjell Öberg; Irvin M. Modlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Internal medicine; endocrine tumour; midgut carcinoid; serotonin-producing neuroendocrine carcinoma; prognosis; morphology; tachykinin; connective tissue growth factor; islet autoantigen-2; morphology; carcinoid syndrome; Invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : In this study, metastasizing serotonin-producing ileocaecal carcinoid tumours (MSPCs) were examined for biological characteristics that could be used to define clinically relevant subgroups within this patient population. Possible targets for new treatment options were also explored. READ MORE

  7. 5. Distribution and actions of insect tachykinin-related peptides

    Author : Åsa Winther; Peter D. Evans; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Insects; Insekter;

    Abstract : Tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) have been identified in a number of invertebrates belonging to the mollusca, euchiurdea, crustacea and insecta. The TRPs are named after their sequence similarities and possible common evolutionary relationship to the vertebrate tachykinins. READ MORE
