  2. 1. AMP-activated protein kinase : the connection between exercise and type II diabetes

    Author : Brian R Barnes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; glucose transport; AMP-activated protein kinase; AMPK gamma 3 exercise; Type 2 diabetes; insulin resistance; metabolism;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is a hallmark feature of Type 2 diabetes. Physical exercise/muscle contraction elicits an insulin-independent increase in glucose transport and perturbation of this pathway can bypass defective insulin signaling. READ MORE

  4. 2. Gene expression in human skeletal muscle : effects of activity, fibre type and inheritance for diabetes

    Author : Maria Ahlsén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; first-degree relatives; type 2 diabetes; spinal cord injury; exercise; AMPK; PPAR; PGC-1;

    Abstract : One fundamental underlying risk factor for the development of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus is insulin resistance, which 80-90% of all type 2 diabetic patients suffer from. Risk factors for insulin resistance are for example obesity, surgery, severe illness, spinal cord injury, and pregnancy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta : regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism

    Author : David Kitz Krämer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor PPAR 4 insulin sensitivity; insulin action; human skeletal muscle; primary cultured muscle cells; lipid-metabolism; glucose metabolism; AMP activated protein kinase AMPK ; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus;

    Abstract : Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) δ is a nuclear transcription factor which has been implicated in the regulation of lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle. In addition to the postural and locomotive functions of skeletal muscle, this organ has a major impact role on whole body metabolism. READ MORE
