    Author : Frida A. Lindberg; Robert Fredriksson; Erika Roman; Karin Nordenankar; Vootele Vöikar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solute carrier; SLC; SNAT10; SLC38A10; phenotyping; behavior; amino acids; knockout mouse model; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : The biggest group of transporters, the solute carriers (SLCs), has more than 400 members, and about 30% of these are still orphan. In order to decipher their biological function and possible role in disease, there is a need for characterization of these. READ MORE

  4. 12. Neural circuit mapping af orexigenic systems

    Author : Iris Stoltenborg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orexigenic; ghrelin; feeding; food-cue; arcuate nucleus; lateral hypothalamus; orexin; activity-based anorexia;

    Abstract : Orexigenic systems in the brain process appetite and/or hunger information and ultimately coordinate feeding responses. These brain circuits are critical for survival and originally evolved to ensure that we consume sufficient amounts of diverse nutrients to survive future famines. READ MORE

  5. 13. Daily Physical Activity, Body Fat and Aerobic Fitness in Children

    Author : Magnus Dencker; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Physiology; Fysiologi; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Aerobic fitness; Body fat; Children; Daily physical activity;

    Abstract : Introduction: Physical inactivity, low aerobic fitness and obesity are all associated with an increased risk of a wide range of diseases in adults. Promotion of physical activity, improvement of aerobic fitness and regulation of body weight in children may be of importance, as low physical activity, low aerobic fitness and obesity early in life have been known to track into adulthood.

    Abstract : Approximately half of all women will sustain a fracture after the age of 50. Fractures may cause long-term disability and excess mortality. Identifying individuals at high risk of sustaining a fracture is important in the development of primary and secondary prevention strategies. READ MORE

  7. 15. Enterostatin in the Gastrointestinal Tract - Production and Possible Mechanism of Action

    Author : Maria Sörhede Winzell; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; insulin secretion; neuropeptide; lipolysis; appetite; Colipase; fat intake; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The presence of procolipase and enterostatin in the rat gastrointestinal tract has been investigated. Procolipase was identified, using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, in exocrine cells of the pancreas as well as in chief cells of the fundus region of the stomach. READ MORE
