  2. 1. Leptin endocrinology and energy homeostasis in salmonids

    Author : Marcus Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Leptin; Leptin binding-protein; Energy homeostasis; Oncorhynchus mykiss; Salvelinus alpinus; Adiposity; Food intake; Fasting; Refeeding; Catabolism; Anorexia;

    Abstract : In salmonids, the physiological role of leptin is not completely elucidated. Nonetheless, the anorexigenic effect of leptin indicates a role in their energy homeostasis. This thesis focuses on advancing the understanding of the involvement of the leptin system in the regulation of energy homeo-stasis and food intake in teleost fish. READ MORE

  4. 2. Energy Metabolic Stress Syndrome : Impact of Physical Activity of Different Intensity and Duration

    Author : Stefan Branth; Leif Hambraeus; Gunnar Ronquist; Mats Stridsberg; Lennart Kaijser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; energy; ATP; metabolism; nutrition; body-composition; physical-activity; stress; insulin-resistance; ion-pumps; intracellular swelling and -shrinkage; taurine; reactive oxygen species; Medicin;

    Abstract : All living cell functions require an ongoing supply of energy derived from carbohydrates, lipids and proteins with their own pathways of breakdown. All of them end up in the oxidation of reduced coenzymes, yielding chemically-bound energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of GH in the regulation of energy homeostasis, lipid metabolism and cardiovascular function in transgenic mice

    Author : Bob Olsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; cardiovascular disease; energy homeostasis; lipid metabolism; transgenic mice;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was, using two transgenic models, to investigate some metabolic diseases associated with acromegaly e.g. hypertension and alterations in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermal physiology and metabolism : Interplay between heat generation and energy homeostasis

    Author : Gustavo Abreu-Vieira; Jan Nedergaard; Eric Ravussin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Mammal metabolism is intimately connected to the maintenance of body temperature. While metabolic pathways invariably produce heat as a by-product, the natural heat present in the environment also plays a role in defining the adaptive metabolism and general physiology of an organism.

  7. 5. Pharmacological Modulation of Skeletal Homeostasis

    Author : Niklas U. Andersson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Farmakologi; toxicology; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; pharmacy; pharmacognosy; Pharmacological sciences; peripheral quantitative computed tomography.; dual energy X-ray absorptiomenty; estrogen; parathyroid hormone; gastrectomy; alendronate; ovariectomy; Bone;

    Abstract : Both ovariectomy (OVX) and gastrectomy (GX) cause osteopenia in several animal species including humans. While the effect of OVX has been ascribed to estrogen deficiency, the underlying mechanism behind GX-induced osteopenia is poorly understood. READ MORE
