2. 1. Gastric Bypass : Facilitating the Procedure and Long-term Results

   Author : David Edholm; Magnus Sundbom; Per Hellman; Anders Thorell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Morbid obesity; Gastric bypass; Laparoscopy; Low-calorie diet; Magnetic resonance imaging; Magnetic resonance spectroscopy; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Gastric bypass achieves weight loss in the morbidly obese. Preoperative weight loss is used to reduce the enlarged fatty liver that otherwise reduces visibility during surgery. The purpose of gastric bypass is to provide patients with long-term weight loss. READ MORE

4. 2. Obesity, weight reduction treatment and IVF

   Author : Snorri Einarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obesity; infertility; low calorie diet; weight reduction; in vitro fertilization; adipokines;

   Abstract : Background: Obesity is a growing problem on a global scale and women with obesity have a higher risk for infertility and complications, for both mother and child, in pregnancy and birth. This has been shown both regarding spontaneous pregnancy and in vitro fertilization (IVF). READ MORE

5. 3. Molecular mechanisms of insulin action in human skeletal muscle and adipose tissue : implications for diabetes and obesity

   Author : Marie Björnholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Glucose transport; insulin signal transduction; skeletal muscle; adipose tissue; type 2 diabetes mellitus; obesity; very low calorie diet.;

   Abstract : Studies of animal models of type 2 diabetes mellitus implicate that impaired insulin signal transduction to glucose transport accounts for whole body insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. The overall aim of the present thesis was to determine insulin signal transduction to glucose transport in human skeletal muscle and adipose tissue from type 2 diabetic patients and obese insulin resistant subjects.

6. 4. Studies on catecholamine function in human fat cells

   Author : Lena Hellström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adipose tissue; human; catecholamines; lipolysis; adrenoceptors; mRNAhormone-sensitive lipase; hypo-caloric diet; thyroid hormones.;

   Abstract : Human adipose tissue is a heterogeneous organ as regards metabolism. The effects of catecholamines, the main lipolytic hormones in man vary considerably in different regions. Fat cell lipolysis also changes in a number of physiological and pathophysiological states. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecular mechanisms in obesity-associated metabolic disease

   Author : Louise Olofsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : obesity; metabolic syndrome; cholesterol; resting metabolic rate; insulin resistance; serum amyloid A; S100 calcium binding protein A1; Zn-alpha2-glycoprotein; CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha;

   Abstract : Obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Subjects with obesity are at risk of developing several serious conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. READ MORE
