  2. 1. Studies on the Physiological Effects of Microbial Exopolysaccharides

    Author : Cecilia Lindström; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Probiotics; Prebiotics; Microbiota; Glycemic regulation; Dietary fiber; Oats; Lactic acid bacteria;

    Abstract : The spread of lifestyle-related diseases has become epidemic throughout the world. Impaired glucose metabolism and high levels of plasma cholesterol are risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease respectively. READ MORE

  4. 2. Integrated Modeling of Glucose and Insulin Regulation Following Provocation Experiments

    Author : Hanna Silber; Mats O. Karlsson; Nicolas Frey; Willem De Winter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy;

    Abstract : Blood glucose is controlled by a complex system of insulin and other hormones to assure a constant supply of glucose to the tissues. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder which is characterized by progressively worsening glycemic control due to a relative deficiency of insulin secretion and a decreased response to insulin.

  5. 3. Studies on the regulation of human skeletal muscle lipolysis in vivo

    Author : Veronica Quisth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Intramuscular triglycerides; skeletal muscle; lipolysis; insulin; catecholamines; microdialysis;

    Abstract : Intramuscular triglyceride deposits are a significant energy source, and are considered to be of importance in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. In contrast to adipose tissue, the lipolytic process in skeletal muscle is not well characterised. READ MORE

  6. 4. Placental transport of glucose and amino acids in early pregnancy. Cellular mechanisms, regulation and relation to diabetes

    Author : Anette Ericsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : placental transport; diabetes; first trimester; GLUT; system A; hyperglycemia;

    Abstract : Despite strict glycemic control of the pregnant woman with type 1 diabetes fetal overgrowth is still common. The first trimester is often characterized by sub-optimal glucose levels and elevated HbA1C in early pregnancy is a predictor of fetal overgrowth. READ MORE

  7. 5. The role of red blood cells in cardiac and endothelial dysfunction in cardiometabolic disease

    Author : Tong Jiao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiometabolic disease, which includes the combination of cardiovascular disease, especially coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D), is a major health problem and cause of mortality worldwide. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) occurs when coronary arteries are occluded and is regarded as a life-threatening disorder. READ MORE
