2. 1. Type 2 Diabetes in a Defined Population The Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project

   Author : Carl Johan Östgren; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; HOMA; primary care; all-cause mortality; Pro12Ala; PPAR-gamma; survival; insulin resistance; beta-cell function; type 2 diabetes; hypertension; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

   Abstract : To examine cardiovascular risk factors, glycaemic control and survival in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated in primary care, patients with T2DM and a randomised age-stratified sample of men and women aged ≥40 years living in the same community were surveyed 1992-1994. ß–Cell function and insulin resistance were estimated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA).

4. 2. Role of nuclear receptors in the regulation of human adipose tissue metabolism

   Author : Prasad G. Kamble; Jan W Eriksson; Ingrid Dahlman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : human adipose tissue; nuclear receptors; glucocorticoids; estrogen; PPARγ; lipocalin 2; glucose uptake; lipolysis; adipogenesis; genotype-based recall;

   Abstract : Nuclear receptors modulate expression of genes involved in adipose tissue (AT) metabolism. Their improved understanding may provide new treatment options for metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). READ MORE

5. 3. Genetic and immunological risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GDM; Association; genetics; gestational diabetes mellitus metabolic syndrome; MODY; type 1 diabetes; risk factors; type 2 diabetes; Endocrinology; diabetology; secreting systems; autoimmunity; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

   Abstract : Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disorder that is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance are the hallmarks of GDM. READ MORE

6. 4. On the importance of fat cell size, location and signaling in insulin resistance

   Author : Niclas Franck; Fredrik Nyström; Torbjörn Lindström; Anna Krook; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and is associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. During the past decades, substantial evidence has demonstrated that not only the amount of adipose tissue constitutes a major determinant in the development of metabolic disorders, but also the distribution.

7. 5. Genes predisposing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular mortality

   Author : Jenny Fredriksson; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; APOE; APM1; PPARG; PPARGC1A; survival abalysis; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Type 2 Diabetes; cardiovascular mortality; glycogen synthase; adiponectin; GYS1;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular complications are frequent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular death is the most common cause of death for these individuals. A region on chromosome 19 (19q13) has been indicated by several genome scans as a susceptibility locus for T2D or components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). READ MORE
