  2. 6. Myxine insulin : amino-acid sequence, three dimensional structure, biosynthesis, release, physiological role, receptor binding affinity, and biological activity

    Author : Stefan O. Emdin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The Atlantic hagfish, Myxlne. glutinosa,is the most primitive vertebrate extant, and it diverged from the main vertebrate evolutionary chain some 500 mi 11 ion years ago. READ MORE

  4. 7. Nutrient and energy sensing in skeletal muscle

    Author : Atul S Deshmukh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; AMPK; mTOR; glucose metabolism; exercise; Akt; TBC1D1 D4; CaMK; NO-cGMP;

    Abstract : Nutrient overload and physical inactivity often leads to the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Acute over-nutrition can induce insulin resistance, while physical exercise enhances skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. Like every living cell, skeletal muscle senses nutrient and energy signals and to adjust metabolic flux. READ MORE

  5. 8. Expression and function of vascular estrogen receptors alpha and beta

    Abstract : Estrogen receptors (ER) are expressed not only in classical target organs for estrogen like breast and uterus, but also in male reproductive system as well as in non-reproductive organs such as brain, liver and bone. The functions of ER are quite well known in reproductive organs but less information is available regarding their function in vascular tissue. READ MORE

  6. 9. Morphological and molecular changes in developing guinea pig osteoarthritis

    Author : Harald Brismar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) - an unspecific term for late joint destruction-is one of the most common causes of pain and disability in elderly. OA is characterized by destruction of articular cartilage and insufficient tissue repair. Hartley guinea pigs develop a spontaneous knee arthropathy similar to primary human knee OA. READ MORE
