  2. 1. Insulin resistance, genetic variation and cytokines : associations to myocardial infarction risk

    Author : Anna Bennet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Insulin resistance, inflammation and associated genes are considered as factors of potential importance for the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, but their relationship to myocardial infarction (MI) and associated risk factors remains unclear. In the present thesis, insulin resistance and serum levels as well as genetic variants of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), were investigated in the population-based study "the Stockholm heart epidemiological program" (SHEEP) (n=5452).

  4. 2. Novel insights into the role of serotonin in control of β-cell fuction

    Author : Hedvig Bennet; Celiaki och diabetes; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Inadequate insulin secretion is a central component in the development of Diabetes Mellitus, resulting from reduced pancreatic β-cell mass, as well as diminished β-cell function. Islet produced 5-hydroxy tryptamine (5-HT) is suggested to regulate insulin secretion and β-cell mass in rodents during pregnancy and in metabolically challenged states. READ MORE

    Keywords : Human islets; porcine islets; complement; blood; complement inhibition; complement regulatory proteins; coagulation; sCR1; Heparin;

    Abstract : Islet transplantation offers a logical means to treat insulin-dependent diabetes. However, for reasons poorly understood, the clinical results with islet transplantation have been vastly inferior to those obtained with whole organ pancreas transplantation. READ MORE
