  2. 21. Adipocyte-derived hormones and cardiovascular disease

    Author : Maria Eriksson; Stefan Söderberg; Tommy Olsson; Lena Jonasson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : leptin; adiponectin; fibrinolysis; vWF; myocardial infarction; sex differences; physical activity; risk factors;

    Abstract : Obesity is increasing globally and related to major changes in lifestyle. This increase is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Knowledge about adipose tissue as a metabolic-endocrine organ has increased during the last few decades. READ MORE

  4. 22. Adipocyte ion channels and metabolic control

  5. 23. Central adipocyte functions in specialized caveolae

    Author : Unn Örtegren Kugelberg; Eva Degerman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Obesity; Overweight; Diabetes; Stroke; Cholesterol metabolism; Fatty acids; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Obesity and overweight is an increasing health problem in the world. Besides reducing quality of life obesity is a great risk factor for development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. The adipose tissue is a flexible organ that grows in size if the body is provided with excess energy. READ MORE

  6. 24. A comprehensive dynamic model of the adipocyte

    Author : William Lövfors; Gunnar Cedersund; Elin Nyman; Kaj Holmberg; Pierre de Meyts; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The adipose tissue contributes to energy homeostasis by storing excess energy as triglycerides when the energy status is high, and by releasing fatty acids when the energy status is low. In addition to the involvement in energy homeostasis, the adipose tissue also has a function of hormonal control exerted by the release of adipokines such as adiponectin. READ MORE

  7. 25. Adipocyte phosphatases and the antilipolytic action of insulin

    Author : Svante Resjö; Signaltransduktionsforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protein phosphorylation; protein purification; adipose tissue; PP2A; protein phosphatase; PDE3B; phosphodiesterase 3B; Insulin signalling; antilipolysis; Klinisk biologi; Clinical biology; PKB; protein kinase B;

    Abstract : Adipose tissue is the main site of energy storage of the body and an important endocrine organ. Knowledge of the regulation of fat metabolism and the endocrine factors secreted by the adipocyte is crucial for the understanding of diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Insulin is the main antilipolytic hormone. READ MORE
