  4. 7. The relationship between overweight and depression in view of genes, environment and their joint influence

    Author : Sofia H. Kanders; Cecilia Åslund; Kent W. Nilsson; Dan Larhammar; Nancy Pedersen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : depression; overweight; obesity; plasticity; pharmacogenetics; genetics; antidepressants; breastfeeding; bullying; depression; övervikt; obesitas; plasticitet; farmakogenetik; genetik; antidepressiva läkemedel; mobbning; amning; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Obesity and depression are known to often go hand in hand, but is this due to our genetic heritage, environmental factors or a combination thereof? With a neuroscientific approach, I have investigated the relationship between obesity and depression with the aim of bridging the different levels of research available in order to better understand this complex topic. Using data from a longitudinal cohort with adults, we analysed the genetic contribution to antidepressant response in Study I.

  5. 8. Non-caloric regulation of food intake

    Author : Anica Klockars; Dan Larhammar; Michael Williams; Robert Fredriksson; Karolina Skibicka; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Food intake is shaped by environmental, endocrine, metabolic, and reward-related signals. A change in appetite is an outcome of integration of the relevant external and internal stimuli. While the main purpose of eating is to reverse a negative energy balance, mechanisms protecting homeostasis change appetite for other reasons. READ MORE

  6. 9. Evolution of Vertebrate Vision by Means of Whole Genome Duplications : Zebrafish as a Model for Gene Specialisation

    Author : David Lagman; Dan Larhammar; Xesús M Abalo; Finn Hallböök; Stephan Neuhauss; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetics; evolution; vision; visual opsin; transducin; PDE6; genome duplications; subfunctionalisation; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The signalling cascade of rods and cones use different but related protein components. Rods and cones, emerged in the common ancestor of vertebrates around 500 million years ago around when two whole genome duplications took place, named 1R and 2R. READ MORE

  7. 10. Evolution of the Neuropeptide Y System in Vertebrates with Focus on Fishes

    Author : Tomas Larsson; Dan Larhammar; Svante Winberg; Kenneth H. Wolfe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular biology; neuropeptide Y; GPCR; evolution; gene duplication; vertebrates; ray-finned fishes; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Gene families in vertebrates often contain more dulicates (paralogs) than in invertebrates. This has been attributed to genome duplications, i.e., tetraploidizations. READ MORE
