  2. 1. Genetic and Metabolic Markers for the Development of Diabetes after Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

    Author : Magnus Ekelund; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oral glucose tolerance tests; Genetics; Autoimmunity; Insulin sensitivity; Gestational diabetes mellitus; Insulin secretion; HbA1c; Fasting glucose; FTO-gene; Postpartum diabetes;

    Abstract : The aims of this work were to determine the prevalence of postpartum diabetes among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a prospective study 5 years postpartum; to characterize these women according to insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, autoimmunity and genetics; and to identify possible markers and predictors for the development of manifest diabetes. The subjects were recruited through a regional screening programme in which oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) are routinely offered to all pregnant women. READ MORE

  4. 2. Obesity Genetics : Functional Aspects of Four Genetic Loci Associated with Obesity and Body Mass

    Author : Mathias Rask-Andersen; Helgi Schiöth; Ingrid Dahlman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Obesity is a complex disorder which has reached epidemic proportions in many parts of the world. Twin studies have demonstrated a high heritability for obesity. The subsequent appli-cation of genome wide association studies (GWAS) in the last decade have identified at least 32 genetic loci associated with body mass and obesity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bone health and nutrition treatment. Studies on young women with anorexia nervosa and children with epilepsy

    Author : Anna Svedlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive nutrition treatment; modified Atkins diet; vitamin D; FTO; bone mass; bone biomarkers; growth; skeleton; anorexia nervosa; eating disorder;

    Abstract : Background: Adequate nutritional status is crucial for optimal longitudinal growth and accrual of bone mass during childhood and adolescence. Peak bone mass achieved in young adulthood affects bone health throughout life. READ MORE

  6. 4. Identification of genetic biomarkers for the risk prediction of recurrent venous thromboembolism. Risk prediction of recurrent VTE

    Author : Abrar Ahmad; Allmänmedicin och klinisk epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : Recurrent venous thromboembolism; Genetic risk score; Multibiomarker;

    Abstract : Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most frequent life-threatening cardiovascular disease with an annual incidence rate of 1-2 per 1000 person-years. After the diagnosis for primary VTE, about 20-30% patients develop a recurrence within 5-years. READ MORE

  7. 5. Body composition of parents and their infants : methodological, anthropometric, metabolic and genetic studies
