2. 16. Nutrient-regulated skeletal muscle metabolism and circadian clock

   Author : Laura Sardon Puig; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The prevalence of obesity has tripled in the last four decades, becoming a major risk for the development of cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Obesity is associated with pathological storage of lipids in skeletal muscle, causing a major disturbance in metabolism. READ MORE

   Author : Jia-Li Luo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : glutathione; cysteine; skeletal muscle; surgical trauma; critical illness; human. ISBN;

   Abstract : Glutathione Metabolism of Human Skeletal Muscle in Surgical Trauma Jia-Li Luo Dissertation from the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Huddinge University Hospital, KARO Institution, Karolinska Institutet. Stockholm, Sweden In man, muscle tissue serves as a protein reservoir which is mobilized to meet the specific metabolic needs associated with various catabolic conditions, such as surgical trauma and critical illness.

5. 18. Expression and regulation of steroid metabolizing enzymes in cells of the nervous and skeletal systems : Special focus on vitamin D metabolism

   Author : Mokhtar Almokhtar; Maria Norlin; Kjell Wikvall; Gösta Eggertsen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Little is known about the mechanisms of vitamin D actions in the brain and bone. In this study, the metabolism of vitamin D and its regulation in various cell cultures of the nervous and skeletal systems were examined. READ MORE

6. 19. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta : regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism

   Author : David Kitz Krämer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor PPAR 4 insulin sensitivity; insulin action; human skeletal muscle; primary cultured muscle cells; lipid-metabolism; glucose metabolism; AMP activated protein kinase AMPK ; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus;

   Abstract : Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) δ is a nuclear transcription factor which has been implicated in the regulation of lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle. In addition to the postural and locomotive functions of skeletal muscle, this organ has a major impact role on whole body metabolism. READ MORE

7. 20. The role of steroid hormones in skeletal muscle metabolism

   Author : Firoozeh Salehzadeh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Steroid hormones play important roles in the regulation of whole body metabolism. Skeletal muscle is an insulin-responsive organ with a key role in overall substrate metabolism. Disturbances in skeletal muscle metabolism, as a result of hormonal imbalance may be an underlying defect in metabolic disease. READ MORE
