  2. 1. Mechanisms regulating metabolic and mitogenic events in skeletal muscle : implications for insulin resistance and exercise

    Author : Jeffrey W Ryder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : skeletal muscle; glucose transport; GLUT4; hypoxia; exercise; Type II diabetes; MAPK; PPAR[gamma] thiazolidinediones;

    Abstract : Reduced glucose transport in skeletal muscle is a hallmark feature of Type II diabetes. Numerous mechanisms acutely or chronically regulate skeletal muscle glucose transport. The role of GLUT4, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor [gamma] (PPAR[gamma]) were examined in skeletal muscle. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glacier-ocean interactions; Arctic; Calving; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : Globally, glaciers are losing mass as a result of the changing climate, with this mass loss having a considerable societal impact through rising sea levels. Glaciers which terminate in the oceans are particularly vulnerable to changing external conditions as a result of high sensitivity at their marine margins. READ MORE
