1. Establishing the mechanistic basis of sugar transport
Abstract : Sugar is a vital molecule required for cell viability and homeostasis. Sugar is important for metabolic energy, energy storage, signaling, structure and osmolyte regulation. Transport of sugar represents an important physiological process. READ MORE

2. Glucose and glycerol transport in adipocytes from a structural perspective
Abstract : Adipocytes are crucial energy reservoirs to maintain metabolic homeostasis of glucose and lipids in the human body.Glucose transporters (GLUTs) and aquaporins (AQPs) play an important role in metabolic regulation of glucose andlipids in human adipocytes. READ MORE

3. The Role of Hexose Transport on Glycolytic Flux and Glucose Induced Responses in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glucose is primarily fermented rather than respired. Only in cultivation modes such as chemostats or fed-batches, where the external glucose is kept low, a fully respiratory catabolism is observed. READ MORE

5. Fat cell insulin resistance : an experimental study focusing on molecular mechanisms in type 2 diabetes
Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to further increase our understanding of mechanisms contributing to and maintaining cellular insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D). For this reason, the effects of high glucose and insulin levels on glucose transport capacity and insulin signaling, with emphasis on insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) were assessed in fat cells.
