    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sophia Datsen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As life expectancy increases globally, so does the prevalence of age-related diseases, some of which are more difficult to adapt to and accommodate for than others. In particular, neurodegenerative disorders are among those for which adaptations are more complex, often requiring long-term care. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exercise-induced cardiac remodeling : a potential cause of pathological changes in the equine heart?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Maria Neil; [2019]
    Keywords : Cardiac remodeling; equine; horse; exercise; hypoxia; valvular regurgitation; cardiac murmur; atrial fibrillation;

    Abstract : Cardiac remodeling is a response to exercise that has been reported in a number of different species. Intensified training will lead to an increasing demand on the cardiovascular capacity, because of the requirements of enhanced oxygen delivery, metabolism and thermoregulation. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Search for Neonicotinoid Binding Sites in the Optic Lobes of Honeybees and Blowflies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Ashley Hulcoop; [2019]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Neonicotinoid insecticides are agonists to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brains of insects. At sub-lethal doses these chemicals cause behavioral abnormalities in several bee species, reducing overall fitness. nAChRs expressed in the optic lobes of insects bind neonicotinoids, thus may be involved in these behavioral changes.

  5. 4. Control and Development of the Autonomic Nervous System in Posthatch Broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) and Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus)

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Åsa Näsström; [2015]
    Keywords : Adrenegic tone; Autonomic nervous system; Broiler; Cholinergic tone; Heart rate; Red Junglefowl RJF ;

    Abstract : Heart rate is tonically regulated by the two branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS); parasympathetic activation decreases heart rate while sympathetic activation increases it. Previous studies on the ANS in chickens have focused mainly on embryonic development, but it is largely unknown what happens in the weeks following hatching. READ MORE

  6. 5. Vaat functionality in cholinergic and dopaminergic neurons

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Swati Sharma; [2013]
    Keywords : VAAT; VAChT; cholinergic; dopaminergic; synaptic vesicles; neuromuscular junctions; SLC10a4; dopamine uptake; striatum; hippocampus;

    Abstract : SLC10A4 (Solute carrier family 10 member 4) is a member of the sodium/bile acid co-transporter protein family. Previous studies indicated that this protein is a molecular link between two subpopulations of neurons i.e the monoaminergic and cholinergic. READ MORE
