A detailed methodological description of the fluorescence method for the cellular demonstration of biogenic monoamines
Bengt Falck,Christer Owman +1 more
TL;DR: A methodological description gives detailed instructions for the preparation, freeze-drying, histochemical treatment, and sectioning of tissues for fluorescence microscopy of catecholamines, 5-hydroxytryptamine and their immediate precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative pharmacology of human adenosine receptor subtypes – characterization of stably transfected receptors in CHO cells
Karl-Norbert Klotz,Jutta Hessling,Jutta Hegler,Christer Owman,Björn Kull,Bertil B. Fredholm,Martin J. Lohse +6 more
TL;DR: The CHO cells with stably transfected adenosine receptors provide an identical cellular background for such a pharmacological characterization and are valuable systems for further characterization of specific receptor subtypes and for the development of new ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a free fatty acid receptor, FFA2R, expressed on leukocytes and activated by short-chain fatty acids
TL;DR: The human gene to be predominantly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes and, to a lesser extent, in spleen is found, and the designation FFA(2)R is suggested to be given to this second receptor activated by free fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autonomic nerves, mast cells, and amine receptors in human brain vessels. A histochemical and pharmacological study.
TL;DR: The amine mechanisms demonstrated in human brain vessels appear to be principally the same of those shown in more extensive studies on laboratory animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on 5-hydroxytryptamine stores in pineal gland of rat.
TL;DR: There is strong evidence to support the view that the sympathetic nerves of the rat's pineal are noradrenergic, but take up 5-HT from the parenchymal cells into their terminal portions, which run within the gland.
