2. 11. Liver protein metabolism in man

   Author : Hans Barle; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Amino acids; cholecystectomy; ion exchange chromatography; hepatic; laparoscopy; liver biopsy; masspectrometry; protein synthesis; stable isotopes;

   Abstract : Protein depletion is a determinant of clinical outcome in catabolic states. Consequently studies of protein metabolism are necessary to understand the underlying mechanisms. Since the regulation of the synthesis and breakdown of proteins differs between tissues, it is preferable to study protein metabolism on the organ level. READ MORE

4. 12. Prediction Models and Pharmacogenomics in Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency

   Author : Edna J L Barbosa; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone deficiency; hypopituitarism; growth hormone replacement therapy; prediction models; candidate gene approach; polymorphisms; body composition; growth hormone receptor; lipid metabolism; extracellular water; pharmacogenomics;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study clinical and genetic factors that influence response to growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) in GH deficient (GHD) adults. The patients were part of a cohort of adults with hypopituitarism and severe GHD who were studied before and after 12 months of GHRT. READ MORE

5. 13. Neuromuscular effects related to hind limb disuse : experimental studies in the rat

   Author : Isam Ahmed Suliman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Disuse is known to cause skeletal muscle atrophy and a dramatic increase in bone resorption. In this work the effects of disuse were studied in rats after hind limb immobilization for 5 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. In addition, rats with a midshaft femur fracture were treated with adequate or undersized intramedullary pins. READ MORE

6. 14. Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Determination of Human Body Composition. Methodological and Applied Studies

   Author : John Brandberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : X-ray Computed Tomography; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Body Composition; Obesity; Metabolic Syndrome X; Glucose Metabolism; Growth Hormone; Fatty Liver; Intra-Abdominal Fat;

   Abstract : Background: Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide important research opportunities due to their unique capability of characterizing and quantifying tissues and organs. Ionizing radiation is a limitation using CT, and recent developments aiming to improve MRI for determination of body composition have not been validated. READ MORE

7. 15. Auxological tools for following growth in extreme short stature and for evaluating growth promoting interventions

   Author : Andrea Merker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Growth charts are inevitable tools for following children in clinical practice and also when evaluating growth promoting therapy. Growth is a concern especially for families to children of extreme short stature such as in skeletal dysplasias but evaluations of growth pattern with changes in height position is complicated when height develops far below normal population range.
