Enhancing the fight against malaria : from genome to structure and activity of a G-protein coupled receptor from the mosquito, Anopheles Gambiae
… that mediate physiological functions of the neurohormones, adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) that regulate mobilisation of energy reserves during mosquito flight. Ligand binding to GPCRs depends on the three dimensional (3D) structures of the receptors but to date no crystal structures of insect …

ABSENCE OF V1AR ALTERS CARDIAC FUNCTION AT BASELINE AND FOLLOWING ACUTE CARDIAC INJURY
… have demonstrated that drugs blocking these neurohormones from properly signaling have decreased hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality in these HF patients; and these are the only classes of pharmacological therapies that have been shown to reduce patient mortality. Interestingly, the …

Tumor necrosis factor induced oxidative stress in the central nervous system contributes to sympathoexcitation in heart failure
… neurons, and to exclude the effects of neurohormones in CHF, human recombinant TNF was injected 5-days systemically to achieve the levels observed following MI in conjunction with ROS and angiotensin II type-1 receptor blockers. These studies provide new evidence that TNF induces …

Control of the release of digestive enzymes in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus and the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda
… response to food is most likely mediated through neurohormones. Indeed, an allatostatin (Spofr-AS A5) inhibits amylase and trypsin release, and allatotropin (Manse- AT) stimulates amylase and trypsin release. Spofr-AS A5 also inhibits ileum myoactivity and Manse- AT stimulates myoactivity. 3. …

Characterisation of the pharmacological actions in humans of multiple vasoactive enzyme inhibitors with therapeutic potential in heart failure
… myography. The vasopressor response to various neurohormones in the presence of omapatrilat, KC12615 (the active metabolite of SLV 306) and other vasoactive enzyme inhibitors is reported. 2) Following pilot studies of the pressor response to intravenous infusion of big ET-1 (n=6) and …

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy - Effects on Sternotomy Wounds and the Intrathoracic Organs
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been widely adopted for the treatment of deep sternal wound infections due to its excellent clinical outcome. However, the mechanisms of action and effects on hemodynamics have not been thoroughly elucidated. The aims of the work presented in this thesis …
