Desensitization of the β-adrenergic receptor, a receptor which is coupled to the stimulation of adenylate cyclase, may be regulated via phosphorylation by a unique protein kinase. This recently discovered enzyme, known as the β-adrenergic receptor kinase, only phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the β-adrenergic receptor. To assess whether receptors coupled to the inhibition of adenylate c

Continuous exposure of DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells to 10-100 μM norepinephrine results in a dramatic attenuation of the ability of norepinephrine to stimulate inositol phospholipid hydrolysis via α1-adrenergic receptors (α1-AR). In addition to the functional desensitization, norepinephrine exposure also reduces the number of accessible cell surface α1-AR as assayed by [3H]prazosin binding at 4°

This study explored the effects of adding visual continuous feedback in the form of feedback bars to a teachable-agent based learning game in mathematics. Forty-five (45) children, 8- to 12-years-old, from three Swedish school classes used the game during four math lessons. The focus was on how feedback to the students regarding their teachable agents learning progression - and different detailed

Skriften beskriver hur våldsbejakande högerextremism ser ut i det samtida Sverige. Författaren gör en historisk tillbakablick, belyser internationella kopplingar, symboler och idéer. Inom nationalistiska ideologier har det länge funnits idealbilder om hur män och kvinnor ska vara. Kärnfamiljens betydelse betonas och att uppfostra nationens barn har betraktats som viktigt för att nationen ska överl

Aims: The aim was to investigate associations between the experience of parental separation/divorce in childhood and tobacco smoking in adulthood, adjusting for economic stress in childhood and adulthood and psychological health (General Health Questionnaire GHQ12). Methods: The 2012 public-health survey in Skåne, southern Sweden, is a cross-sectional postal questionnaire population-based study wi

Purpose: The purpose of the study, upon which this paper is based, was to contribute an improved understanding of the vertical extension of buildings, by presenting a development process for its implementation in which the key aspects to consider when planning such extensions are highlighted. Design/methodology/approach: The approach is based on linking the diffusion of innovation together with ca

α1-Adrenergic receptors from the cultured smooth muscle cell line (DDT1 MF-2) have been solubilized with digitonin and purified to apparent homogeneity by sequential chromatography on a biospecific affinity support (Sepharose-A55453 (4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-[5-(4-amino-3-phenyl)pentanoyl]- 1-piperazinyl]-quinazoline), an α1 receptor-selective antagonist), a wheat germ agglutinin-agarose gel, an

Abstract: The adrenergic receptors of rat pineal gland were investigated using radiolabeled ligand binding and photoaffinity labeling techniques. 125I‐2‐[β‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethylaminomethyl]tetralone (125I‐HEAT) and 125I‐cyanopindolol (125I‐CYP) labeled specific sites on rat pineal gland membranes with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of 48 (±5) pM and 30 (±5) pM, respectively. Binding site

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a heterogeneous disease with varying prognosis owing to differences in clinical, laboratory, and disease parameters. Although generally considered incurable, prognosis for early- and advanced-stage disease has improved because of therapeutic advances, several of which have resulted from elucidation of the biologic and molecular basis of the disease. The choice of treatm

The emotions of defence lawyers have garnered little sociological attention. This is surprising as their role requires them to show loyalty to clients, representing them in court, irrespective of the client or the crime. Theirs is thus an emotionally demanding role, requiring the management of inappropriate emotions. This article explores this by showing that justice systems have structurally embe

Research Question/Issue: This paper examines the impact of changes in board independence on the market valuation of Swedish firms. I exploit an exogenous change to the rules of corporate governance in 2005, which requires large firms to have majority independent boards, as a quasi‐experimental setting.Research Findings/Insights: I use a regression discontinuity design and a difference‐in‐differenc

Novel therapies such as type 2 targeting biologics are emerging treatment options for patients with chronic inflammatory respiratory diseases, fulfilling the needs of severely uncontrolled patients. The majority of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and over half of patients with asthma show a type 2 inflammatory signature in sinonasal mucosa and/or lungs. Importantly,
