1. Spices in the postprandial metabolic regulation of healthy humans : An integrated physiological and omics approach
Abstract : Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a consequence of obesity and defined as cluster of at least three out of five criteria covering insulin resistance/glucose intolerance, abdominal obesity, hypertension, low HDL-c and elevated TG levels. Imbalance between energy intake and expenditure is known to alter normal physiological function in many aspects, and leads to obesity, which in the long run may turn into type 2 diabetes (T2D) and ultimately cardiovascular disease (CVD).

2. Predictive Control of Diabetic Glycemia
Abstract : Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease, where the blood glucose concentration of the patient is elevated. This is either because of missing insulin production due to failure of the β-cells in the pancreas (Type 1) or because of reduced sensitivity of the cells in the body to insulin (Type 2). READ MORE

3. Effect of hyperglycemia on glucose transport and intracellular signal transduction in skeletal muscle
Abstract : Recent studies revealing the components of insulin signal transduction have raised the question of whether the defects in insulin signaling account for disturbed glucose metabolism in people with NIDDM. The major focus of this thesis is to elucidate the role of insulin signal transduction in the development of peripheral insulin resistance. READ MORE

4. Studies of pancreatic islet microcirculation and insulin secretion in normal and diabetic rats
Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is increasing globally. The disease is characterized not only by hyperglycemia, but also by insulin resistance with attendant dyslipidemia, hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. These aberrations may result in macrovascular disease, and deeply impact the longevity and quality of life in diabetic patients. READ MORE

5. Modeling and Prediction in Diabetes Physiology
Abstract : Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by the inability of the organism to autonomously regulate the blood glucose levels. It requires continuing medical care to prevent acute complications and to reduce the risk of long-term complications. READ MORE
