  2. 1. Berries in Prevention of Metabolic Disease – focus on obesity, diabetes and gut microbiota

    Author : Lovisa Heyman; Molekylär nutrition; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obesity; type 2 diabetes; berries; low-grade inflammation; gut microbiota; hepatic steatosis; gene expression; DNA methylation; lingonberry; blackcurrant; bilberry; açai;

    Abstract : The increasing prevalence of obesity is a worldwide health problem closely linked to diet and lifestyle factors. Obesity is associated with increased risk of several metabolic disorders including insulin resistance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Diagnosing hyper- and hypocortisolism using saliva samples : pitfalls and how to avoid them

    Author : Nils Bäcklund; Per Dahlqvist; Göran Brattsand; Tommy Olsson; Elisabeth Aardal; Kerstin Landin-Wilhelmsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cushing s syndrome; Adrenal Insufficiency; Salivary cortisol; Salivary cortisone; Reference intervals; Diagnostic accuracy; Error sources; invärtesmedicin; Internal Medicine; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Background: Cushing's syndrome (CS) is caused by high cortisol secretion whereas insufficient cortisol secretion is called adrenal insufficiency (AI). Both are rare diseases with substantial diagnostic delay, and high morbidity and mortality even though effective treatment is available. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanisms of insulin exocytosis and release

    Author : Sebastian Barg; Islet cell physiology; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ClC-3; electrophyiology; confocal microscopy; calcium channel; readily releasable pool; exocytosis; insulin; diabetes; green fluorescent protein; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Endocrine cells as well as neurons release their hormones and transmitters by regulated exocytosis. In the pancreatic B-cell, stimuli like glucose initiate biochemical and electrical processes that culminate in influx of Ca2+, which then triggers exocytosis of insulin-containing granules.

  6. 4. Plasminogen : a novel inflammatory regulator that promotes wound healing

    Author : Yue Shen; Tor Ny; Gunilla Høyer-Hansen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Plasminogen; inflammation; wound healing; diabetic wounds; tympanic membrane perforations; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The plasminogen activator (PA) system has been shown to be intimately involved in wound healing. However, the role of this system in the initiation and resolution of inflammation during healing process remained to be determined. READ MORE

  7. 5. Profiling Plasma Metabolite Alterations in Diet-Induced Obesity and Diabetes Using NMR Metabolomics

    Author : João Vieira; Diabetes och hjärnans funktion; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; metabolite profiling; diet-induced obesity; type 2 diabetes mellitus; 1H-NMR spectroscopy; metabolism alterations; post-stroke recovery;

    Abstract : Diets rich in saturated fat and sedentary lifestyles markedly contribute to obesity and metabolic syndrome-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Metabolite profiling plays a pivotal role in understanding these metabolic diseases. READ MORE
