  2. 1. Fat cell insulin resistance : an experimental study focusing on molecular mechanisms in type 2 diabetes

    Author : Frida Renström; Jan Eriksson; Anna Krook; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; adipocyte; insulin signaling; insulin; glucose; IRS-1; glucose uptake; insulin resistance; typ 2 diabetes; serum; Medicine; Medicin;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to further increase our understanding of mechanisms contributing to and maintaining cellular insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D). For this reason, the effects of high glucose and insulin levels on glucose transport capacity and insulin signaling, with emphasis on insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) were assessed in fat cells.

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antimicrobial peptides; antibiotic resistance; fitness cost; Salmonella Typhimurium; Staphylococcus aureus; bile; serum; pH response; growth rate; mice; phoP; pmrB; waaY; LPS; LL-37; defensins; membrane potential; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : The global increasing problem of antibiotic resistance necessarily drives the pursuit and discovery of new antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) initially seemed like promising new drug candidates. Already members of the innate immune system, it was assumed that they would be bioactive and non-toxic. READ MORE

    Abstract : Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD), particularly coronary heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular disease, are today major causes of death in the industrialised parts of the world. There are evidence to suggest that the atherosclerotic process starts in childhood, implying that preventive measures should be implemented already in children and adolescents. READ MORE

  7. 5. Magnesium and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome

    Author : Arvo Hänni; L Resnick; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; magnesium; calcium; insuline resistance syndrome; hypertension; lipids; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Abstract : Insulin resistance, defined as a state of reduced insulin-mediated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, and disorders such as obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, have been found to be associated in the conglomerate of the insulin resistance syndrome. Some antihypertensive drugs have been shown to decrease insulin sensitivity further. READ MORE
