    Keywords : Growth hormone; rat; hypophysectomy; vascular resistance; gene expression; place learning; Intellicage; hexarelin; CNS; hippocampus; neurogenesis; cell survival; mouse;

    Abstract : Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in the Western world. Another important clinical condition is brain damage due to radiation therapy in cancer patients. This has neurological impairments presenting in the survivors. For both these conditions, it is important to develop new therapeutic strategies. READ MORE

  5. 18. Mechanisms of failure and survival in the anoxic fish brain : With focus on the crucian carp

    Author : Dan Johansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; limnologi; Limnology;

    Abstract : Neural responses to anoxia were studied in two fish species, the rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss) and the crucian carp (Carassius carassius). The rainbow troutbrain reacted to anoxia by a massive release of excitatory amino acids and K+ into theextracellular compartment, in a fashion very much like the brain of mammals duringanoxia.

  7. 20. Adaptive and non-adaptive responses to toxin-producing cyanobacteria in water fleas

    Author : Alexander Hegg; Evolutionär ekologi; []
