  2. 1. Adipose Tissue Heterogeneity - Development and Application of Nonlinear Microscopy Methods

    Author : Alexandra Paul; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; least squares decomposition; stem cells; multivariate spectral analysis; obesity; adipose tissue; adipogenesis; broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering; extracellular matrix;

    Abstract : Although the negative health impacts of obesity have been well documented, the number of overweight or obese patients has and is predicted to continue rising. One of the causal factors of obesity is a constant positive energy balance mainly from excessively high caloric intake from food compared with limited physical activity (caloric expenditure).

  4. 2. Mesoporous Silica Particles for a Potential Therapeutic Application

    Author : Muhammad Naeem Iqbal; Niklas Hedin; Tore Bengtsson; Mirva Eriksson; Jessica Rosenholm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mesoporous silica; SBA-15; amylase; lipase; electron microscope; adsorption; type 2 diabetes; materialkemi; Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : Mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) have a high surface area, pore volume, and tunable pore size and surface properties, which makes them ideal for advanced therapeutic, biocatalytic, separation, and drug delivery applications. The work in this thesis shows that MSPs can be employed for therapeutic applications with minimal risk of adverse consequences. READ MORE

  5. 3. Human adipose tissue morphology and function : relation to insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance with focus on pregnancy and women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus

    Author : Henrik Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; Adipocyte; Adipokines; Insulin resistance; Pregnancy; Gestational diabetes mellitus; Type 2 diabetes;

    Abstract : Obesity is a global health problem and affects women of reproductive age. During pregnancy, obesity increases the risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), in turn predisposing for type 2 diabetes (T2D). READ MORE

  6. 4. Targeting vascular remodeling in abdominal aortic aneurysm : To identify novel treatment strategies and drug candidates

    Author : Emina Vorkapić; Dick Wågsäter; Per Eriksson; David Granville; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative weakening of the aortic wall, mainly affecting elderly men with a prevalence of 4.4-7.7 %. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structure-function relationships of hormone-sensitive lipase

    Author : Torben Österlund; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteins; mutagenesis; domain; fold; catalytic triad; lipase; structure; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

    Abstract : The primary role of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), an 84 kDa enzyme of 768 amino acids (in the rat protein), is to hydrolyse stored triacylglycerols in adipocytes of white adipose tissue. Catecholamines and insulin regulate lipolysis through cellular signalling. READ MORE
