  1. 1. Localisation of TRP Channels in Mammalian Skin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Rebekah Beck; [2015]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Perception of temperature in mammals is critical for their survival, it enables them to perceive the world around them and act with an appropriate physiological or behavioural response. However, the full understanding of the thermosensory system in mammals has thus far been clouded. READ MORE

  3. 2. Role of TRPV1 channel and P2Y1 receptor in Ca2+ signalling in β-cells : A study by single cell microfluorometry

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Kalaiselvan Krishnan; [2011]
    Keywords : Insulin exocytosis; P2Y1; tolbutamide; ADPr; microfluorometry; Islets of langerhans; β-cells; calcium signaling; signal transduction.;

    Abstract : Increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the β-cells triggers insulin exocytosis. Among the Ca2+ channels present in the plasma membrane, the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels receptors are currently of great interest. READ MORE

  4. 3. The expression of thermoTRP channels in the brood patch of jungle fowl (Gallus gallus) during egg incubation

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Shadi Jafari; [2009]
    Keywords : Brood patch; broody; jungle fowl; skin; thermoTRP;

    Abstract :   The regulation of egg temperature requires the transfer of heat from the brood patch. Thus, the brood patch needs the presence of thermo receptors as well as an appropriate vasomotor response. During the incubation an exact detection of the egg’s temperature is essential. READ MORE

  5. 4. A study of TRPV1 and TRPV4 ion channels in the beta cells by using fura-2 based microfluorometry.

    University essay from Akademin för hållbar samhälls- och teknikutveckling

    Author : Banina Hadrovic; [2009]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is an important ion that regulates many cellular functions including exocytosis, contraction of muscles, neural functions, fertilization and cell division. In the plasma membrane of cells there are different Ca2+ channels, including the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels. READ MORE

  6. 5. Heat-sensitive TRP channels detected in pancreatic beta cells by microfluorometry and western blot

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Kristina Kannisto; [2007]
    Keywords : Diabetes; TRP; Capsaicin; Capsazepine; Insulin; Ca2 signalling; Ruthenium red;

    Abstract : Background and aim: The calcium ion (Ca2+) is an important ion involved in intracellular signalling. An increase in the free intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) is essential for triggering insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. READ MORE
