  2. 1. Speciation and Metabolic rate : Insights from an avian hybrid zone

    Author : S. Eryn McFarlane; Anna Qvarnström; Jenny Boughman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resting metabolic rate; life history; hybridization; speciation; reproductive isolation; Ficedula flycatcher; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : The role of divergent climate adaptation in speciation has received surprisingly little scientific attention. My dissertation research focused on how resting metabolic rate (RMR) relates to the build up of prezygotic and postzygotic isolation in a natural Ficedula flycatcher hybrid zone. READ MORE

  4. 2. Conjugated linoleic acid and the metabolic syndrome : Clinical and metabolic studies with special reference to insulin resistance, oxidative stress and inflammation

    Author : Ulf Risérus; Keith Frayn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Metabolic syndrome; dietary fatty acids; conjugated linoleic acid; insulin resistance; oxidative stress; inflammation; cardiovascular disease; dyslipidemia; abdominal obesity; type 2 diabetes; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; Nutrition; näringslära;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the metabolic effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in middle-aged men with the metabolic syndrome, a high-risk group for type 2 diabetes. CLA is a group of fatty acid isomers with antiobesity and antidiabetogenic effects in animals, and CLA is therefore used as a supplement in humans. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Metabolic variation in autoimmune diseases

    Author : Rasmus Kirkegaard Madsen; Johan Trygg; Thomas Moritz; Torbjörn Lundstedt; Matej Oresic; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Rheumatoid Arthritis; Diabetes Mellitus type 1; Metabolic Profiling; Metabolomics; Chemometrics; Multivariate Data Analysis; Mass Spectrometry; biologisk kemi; biological chemistry;

    Abstract : The human being and other animals contain immensely complex biochemical processes that govern their function on a cellular level. It is estimated that several thousand small molecules (metabolites) are produced by various biochemical pathways in humans. READ MORE

  7. 5. Metabolic Health and Cognitive Function : The Roles of Lifestyle and Shift Work

    Author : Olga E. Titova; Christian Benedict; Robert Fredriksson; Veronica Witte; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : cognitive function; Mediterranean diet; omega-3 fatty acids; MRI; shift work history; sleep; metabolic syndrome; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The risk of cognitive impairment and metabolic disturbances increases during aging. Healthy lifestyle habits, such as a regular intake of fatty fish and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MeDi), have been shown to slow age-related cognitive decline and decrease the risk of metabolic disturbances.
