11. Hormone-Sensitive Lipase, new roles for an old enzyme
Abstract : Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) has a wide tissue distribution with the highest expression found in white adipose tissue (WAT). HSL also has a unique ability to hydrolyze a large panel of substrates including acylglycerols, cholesteryl esters and retinyl esters. HSL is potentially a new drug target for the treatment of obesity and type II diabetes. READ MORE

12. Mathematical Modelling of Insulin Signalling : Effects on Glucose Metabolism in Skeletal Muscle
Abstract : The use of models to understand complex phenomena is indispensable to the scientific community. The advantage of a model is that it simplifies the phenomena under study. However, a model should be only as complex as required, no more, no less. READ MORE

13. Skeletal muscle metabolism in critically ill patients
Abstract : The loss of skeletal muscle mass is of importance for the length of the hospital stay and recovery in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). In the acute illness, the export of amino acids from skeletal muscle provides substrates for vital functions and thus enhances survival. READ MORE

15. Insulin signalling and TBC1D1 in skeletal muscle metabolism
Abstract : Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has taken the form of a pandemic disease globally as people adopt a more western lifestyle. High circulating glucose levels indicates that an individual is in the risk zone for developing T2DM. One of the hallmarks for T2DM is insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. READ MORE
