  2. 16. Transcriptional control of liver metabolism and disease by nuclear receptor-corepressor networks

    Author : Ning Liang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Liver lipid metabolism is coordinated via transcriptional networks composed of transcription factors and coregulators. Disturbance of such networks leads to metabolic dysregulation and is linked to the progression of obesity-related metabolic disorders, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease.

  7. 20. Cardiovascular disease risk among people living with HIV in South Central Uganda

    Author : Rocio Enriquez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: With the introduction of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), the clinical management needs of people living with HIV are rapidly shifting from AIDS-related opportunistic infections to age-related co-morbidities. Research from high-income countries has demonstrated that people living with HIV are at an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to a combination of increased traditional CVD risk factors, HIV infection, and ART use.
