  2. 1. Role of caveolin-1 in brown adipose tissue

    Author : Charlotte L. Mattsson; Barbara Cannon; Paul Pilch; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caveolin; brown adipose tissue; metabolism; signaling; Physiology; Fysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Caveolae are 50-100 nm invaginations in the plasma membrane. Caveolae and the protein caveolin-1 (Cav1) have been shown to be important in many signaling pathways in different cell types; however, in some cell types caveolae and Cav1 do not seem to affect the investigated signaling pathways.

  4. 2. Energy flow and metabolic efficiency attributed to brown adipose tissue

    Author : Gabriella von Essen; Jan Nedergaard; Susanne Klaus; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brown adipose tissue; BAT; UCP1; diet-induced thermogenesis; DIT; obesity; high-fat diet; energy expenditure; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : The large capacity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) to expend energy as heat makes it an interesting potential player in weight regulation and other metabolic conditions. This is of particular interest as it has been recognized that adult humans possess BAT. READ MORE

  5. 3. Who is Who in the Adipose Organ : A look at the Heterogeneity of Adipocyte Biology

    Author : Jasper de Jong; Jan Nedergaard; Christian Wolfrum; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; Adipocyte; Brown; White; Brite Beige; Physiology; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : The increasing prevalence of obesity and related health complications, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, demands thorough investigation of the underlying processes. One of the key tissues investigated in this context is adipose tissue. READ MORE

  6. 4. β-Adrenergic Signalling Through mTOR

    Author : Jessica M. Olsen; Tore Bengtsson; Martin Klingenspor; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glucose uptake; Brown adipose tissue; White adipose tissue; Skeletal muscle; Mechanistic target of rapamycin; Glucose transporter; Physiology; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Adrenergic signalling is part of the sympathetic nervous system and is activated upon stimulation by the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. This regulates heart rate, energy mobilization, digestion and helps to divert blood flow to important organs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Myosin 1c taking adrenergic metabolism for a spin : More than a motor protein

    Author : Alice Åslund; Tore Bengtsson; Michael Czech; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glucose uptake; Glucose transporter; Brown adipose tissue; White adipose tissue; Skeletal muscle; Myosin1c; Nuclear myosin I; Physiology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Metabolic diseases like type II diabetes (T2D) and obesity largely stems from an unbalanced energy homeostasis with the fails of the insulin pathway to the point in which the glucose homeostasis is severely disturbed leading to hyperglycemia. We have investigated if the β-adrenergic signaling pathways, in both brown adipose tissue (BAT) and skeletal muscle, could be used as a strategy to alleviate metabolic disease. READ MORE
