  2. 21. Physical exercise and electrical stimulation in the management of metabolic, cardiovascular and skeletal-muscle alterations in people with tetraplegia

    Author : Nils Hjeltnes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Spinal cord injury; glucose metabolism; electrical stimulation; exercise; skeletal muscle; body composition; catecholamines; blood pressure.;

    Abstract : Interruption of the spinal cord at the cervical level leads to permanent extensive motor paralysis, serious autonomic regulation deficits and profound short term and long term metabolic disorders. The defects play a decisive role for the tetraplegic individuals future function and health. READ MORE

  4. 22. β-Adrenergic Signalling Through mTOR

    Author : Jessica M. Olsen; Tore Bengtsson; Martin Klingenspor; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glucose uptake; Brown adipose tissue; White adipose tissue; Skeletal muscle; Mechanistic target of rapamycin; Glucose transporter; Physiology; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Adrenergic signalling is part of the sympathetic nervous system and is activated upon stimulation by the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. This regulates heart rate, energy mobilization, digestion and helps to divert blood flow to important organs. READ MORE

  5. 23. Caveolae in insulin signalling in human and rat adipocytes

    Author : Margareta Karlsson; Bengt Jergil; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The pancreatic hormone insulin is a key hormone in maintenance of metabolic homeostasis but it also exerts control on gene expression and cell growth. This thesis presents results on fhe role of caveolae in insulin signalling in human and rat adipocytes. READ MORE

  6. 24. A molecular approach to insulin signalling and caveolae in primary adipocytes

    Author : Karin Stenkula; Fredrik Nyström; Peter Strålfors; Peter Arner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caveolae; insulin signalling; adipocytes; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The prevalence of type II diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate due to the western world lifestyle. Type II diabetes is characterized by an insulin resistance distinguished by impaired glucose uptake in adipose and muscle tissues. READ MORE

  7. 25. The assembly of cytosolic lipid droplets and its effect on insulin sensitivity

    Author : Pontus Boström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : diabetes; lipid metabolism; insulin resistance; lipid droplets; ADFP; SNARE;

    Abstract : Accumulation of neutral lipids, in particular triglycerides, in non-adipocytes is highly related to the development of insulin resistance and its consequences, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The accumulation of triglycerides occurs in so-called lipid droplets in the cytosol. READ MORE
