  2. 21. Microarray analysis of gene expression in human adipocytes and adipose tissue

    Author : Margareta Jernås; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : obesity; adipose tissue; insulin resistance; serum amyloid A; NAD P H:quinone oxidoreductase 1; Zinc-alpha2 glycoprotein; cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector A; DNA microarray;

    Abstract : Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and is associated with several serious conditions such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. Adipose tissue exerts important endocrine and immune functions through the release of adipokines. READ MORE

  5. 23. Adipose and muscle tissue metabolism in cancer cachexia

    Author : Thorhallur Agustsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Loss of adipose and muscle tissue mass is a key feature of cancer cachexia. Weight loss, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance are seen in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). READ MORE

  6. 24. GH, IGF-1 and insulin in the regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism

    Author : Fredrik Frick; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Growth-hormone; insulin-like growth factor-I; insulin; lipoprotein lipase; adipose tissue; muscle tissue; VLDL secretion;

    Abstract : It is well known that growth hormone (GH) has profound effects on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is believed to mediate some of the effects of GH via endocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Moreover, both GH and IGF-I are known to influence insulin secretion.

  7. 25. Dietary, Pharmacological and Environmental Effects on Brown Adipose Tissue

    Author : Erik Lindsund; Tore Bengtsson; Jan Nedergaard; Karsten Kristiansen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Obesity; brown adipose tissue; uncoupling protein 1; moderate cold exposure; calorimetry; thyroxine; dietary protein; thermic effect of food; diet-induced thermogenesis; adrenergic stimulation; mice; physiology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Obesity is a common health issue; over 12 % of the adult world population have obesity. Obesity has many co-morbidities including cardo-vascular diseases and diabetes. Obesity is the result of chronic positive energy balance, eating too much and expending too little. READ MORE
