  2. 11. Understanding inflammation requires neuroscience

    Author : Alessandro Gallina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation and its resolution are processes subject to neural regulation (1). The best-characterized immune-regulating reflex is the “inflammatory reflex”, in which the efferent branch of the vagus nerve plays a central role in regulating cytokine-release in the periphery.

  4. 12. Microdialysis to study the Gastrin-ECL cell Axis in the conscious rat

    Author : Peter Ericsson; Drug Target Discovery; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The ECL cells constitute the major endocrine cell population in the acid-producing part of the stomach. Gastrin from G cells in the antrum is the main stimulus of gastric acid secretion. Gastrin stimulates the ECL cells in the oxyntic mucosa to mobilize histamine, which in turn stimulates the parietal cells to produce hydrochloric acid. READ MORE

  5. 13. The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and heart rate variability with special reference to dialysis and renal denervation

    Author : Marie Hilderman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The Cholinergic Anti-inflammatory Pathway (CAP) is a nerve-mediated circuit through which the vagus nerve regulates the activity of the inflammatory immune response. Injury, ischemia or infection activate the afferent vagus. In the medulla oblongata. READ MORE

  6. 14. Role of prostaglandin E2 as a neuro-immune mediator in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway

    Author : Priya Revathikumar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Therapeutic implications of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) activation have marked the beginning of a novel treatment strategy of passing electrical impulses along the left vagus nerve to alleviate acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. Extensive work in understanding CAP through vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) have identified key molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) mediated control of inflammation.

  7. 15. Rotavirus Disease Mechanisms Diarrhea, Vomiting and Inflammation : How and Why

    Author : Marie Hagbom; Lennart Svensson; Karl-Eric Mangusson; Ove Lundgren; Niklas Arnberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Rotavirus infections cause diarrhea and vomiting that can lead to severe dehydration. Despite extensive tissue damage and cell death, the inflammatory response is very limited. READ MORE
