2. 1. Structural and functional studies of protein complexes involved in energy metabolism

   Author : Jens Berndtsson; Martin Ott; Irene Diaz-Moreno; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mitochondria; metabolism; OXPHOS; yeast respiratory supercomplex; cytochrome c; coenzyme Q; pyruvate dehydrogenase complex; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Mitochondria are eukaryotic organelles with a multitude of functions including biosynthesis of molecules and cellular regulation. Most prominently though is their role in energy conversion which culminates with the production of ATP, the universal molecular unit of currency. READ MORE

4. 2. Energy-Related Metabolites during and after Induced Myocardial Ischemia and Retroperfusion of the Coronary Sinus : An Experimental Study in the Pig with the Microdialysis Technique and Extracorporeal Circulation

   Author : Vitas Zemgulis; Rolf Ekroth; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Ischemia; myocardial infarction; reperfusion; energy metabolism; coronary sinus retroperfusion; microdialysis; taurine; nucleoside transport; adenosine; aerobic lactate production; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Thoracic and Cardivascular Suregery; kirurgi; särskilt thoraxkirurgi;

   Abstract : In the clinical setting great efforts have been made with contradictory results to operate upon acutely myocardial ischemic patients. The reasons for the absence of unambiguous results are not well understood nor are they scientifically explored. READ MORE

5. 3. Physiology of Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus: a hydrogen cell factory

   Author : Karin Willquist; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; growth activation; hydrogen tolerance; hydrogen yields CO2 inhibition; physiology; enzyme kinetics; Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus; biohydrogen; energy metabolism;

   Abstract : A high substrate conversion efficiency is a prerequisite for an economically feasible biohydrogen production. Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is a strictly anaerobic extreme thermophilic bacterium that is able to convert the theoretical maximum of 4 mol/mol glucose to H2. READ MORE

6. 4. Non-coding RNAs in beta cell insulin secretion - emerging players in Type 2 Diabetes pathogenesis

   Author : Jones Ofori; Diabetes - öcellsexocytos; []
   Keywords : T2D; insulin secretion; exocytosis; ncRNAs; GAS5; miR-152; miR-335; miR-130a b; miR-375; STXBP1; SNAP25; SYT13; PDHA1; PDX1; glucocortiocoid; beta cell function; glucose metabolism;

   Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex polygenic disease influenced by both environmental and genetic factors resulting in impaired insulin release from pancreatic beta cells and insulin resistance in target tissues. The incidence of T2D is escalating and it is projected that over 640 million people will be affected by 2040. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies of LXR and CIDEA function in human adipocytes

   Author : Britta Stenson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Obesity, defined as a body mass index of 30 or above, is the result of an imbalance of energy intake and energy expenditure. In the last decade, the obesity prevalence has truly reached epidemic proportions with major effects on public health. READ MORE
