11. Studies on the effects of thyroid hormone on cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism
Abstract : Elevated plasma lipids, particularly cholesterol within low density lipoproteins, is an important risk factor for developing atherosclerosis which can cause angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Thyroid hormone (TH) has a strong influence on lipid metabolism and the aim of this thesis was to gain more insight into how TH modulates cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism. READ MORE

13. Adrenergic receptors in brown adipose tissue
Abstract : The purpose of this study was to identify adrenergic receptors and to investigate their regulation of physiological processes in brown adipose tissue.Isolated hamster brown fat cells and plasma membrane fractions contained a high number of α1- and β1-adrenergic receptors, as assessed by direct radioligand binding techniques using (3H)prazosin and (-)(3H)dihydroalprenolol, respectively.

Abstract : Thyroid hormone has a profound impact on mammalian metabolism; hypothyroidism causes decreased metabolic rate and increased serum cholesterol levels. One major target organ for the hormone is the liver, the most important metabolic organ in mammals, that balances anabolism of carbohydrates and lipids against catabolism. READ MORE
