  2. 1. Caveolae associated proteins and how they effect caveolae dynamics

    Author : Björn Morén; Richard Lundmark; Volker Haucke; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caveolae; caveolin; EHD2; cavin; microdomain; microscopy; TIRF; AFM; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Caveolae are a type of invaginated membrane domain that has been shown to be involved in several disease states, including lipodystrophy, muscular dystrophies and cancer. Several of these diseases are caused by the lack of caveolae or caveolae-related signaling deficiencies in the tissues in which the caveolar domain are abundant such as lung, adipose, muscle and their related endothelial cells.

  4. 2. Expanding role of caveolae in control of adipocyte metabolism : proteomics of caveolae

    Author : Nabila Aboulaich; Peter Strålfors; Alexander Vener; Hans Jörnvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes; Insulin signalling; Fatty acid metabolism; Proteomics; Mass spectrometry; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The primary function of adipose tissue is to store energy in the form of triacylglycerol, which is hydrolyzed to fatty acids to supply other tissues with energy. While insulin promotes the storage of triacylglycerol, catecholamines stimulate its hydrolysis. READ MORE

  6. 4. A molecular approach to insulin signalling and caveolae in primary adipocytes

    Author : Karin Stenkula; Fredrik Nyström; Peter Strålfors; Peter Arner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caveolae; insulin signalling; adipocytes; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The prevalence of type II diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate due to the western world lifestyle. Type II diabetes is characterized by an insulin resistance distinguished by impaired glucose uptake in adipose and muscle tissues. READ MORE

  7. 5. Isolation of caveolae using affinity two-phase partitioning

    Author : Parisa Abedinpour; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolism; Biokemi; Metabolism; Biochemistry; basolateral; apical; immunoaffinity; wheat germ agglutinin; caveolin; caveolae caveolae enriched fraction; plasma membranes; rat lung; rat liver; Affinity Partitioning; two-phase partitioning;

    Abstract : The intention of this work was to establish alternative purification methods to obtain highly purified caveolae from various tissues. In order to isolate caveolae, sufficiently pure plasma membranes are needed. READ MORE
