2. 1. Elucidating causal relationships between energy homeostasis and cardiometabolic outcomes

   Author : Pascal Mutie; Genetisk och molekylär epidemiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adiposity; causal inference; Cardiometabolic disease; Mendelian randomization;

   Abstract : Energy metabolism dyshomeostasis is associated with multiple health problems. For example, abundant epidemiological data show that obesity and overweight increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and early mortality. READ MORE

4. 2. Leptin endocrinology and energy homeostasis in salmonids

   Author : Marcus Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Leptin; Leptin binding-protein; Energy homeostasis; Oncorhynchus mykiss; Salvelinus alpinus; Adiposity; Food intake; Fasting; Refeeding; Catabolism; Anorexia;

   Abstract : In salmonids, the physiological role of leptin is not completely elucidated. Nonetheless, the anorexigenic effect of leptin indicates a role in their energy homeostasis. This thesis focuses on advancing the understanding of the involvement of the leptin system in the regulation of energy homeo-stasis and food intake in teleost fish. READ MORE

5. 3. Overweight and Obesity in Preschool Children : Early Risk Factors and Early Identification

   Author : Annelie Lindholm; Stefan Bergman; Gerd Almquist-Tangen; Carin Nyman; Ann Bremander; Kim Fleischer Michaelsen; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; abdominal adiposity; adiposity rebound; body mass index; childhood obesity; childhood overweight; early growth patterns; infancy peak; preschool children; waist-to-height ratio;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity in children has reached epidemic proportions in recent decades, and even the youngest age groups are affected. Excess weight during childhood often follows the child into adulthood and is associated with diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. READ MORE

6. 4. Experimental models for investigating IAPP regulation of food intake in rats and mice

   Author : Madelene Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : adiposity;

   Abstract : Background: Maintenance of energy balance is one of the fundamental processes of living organisms and involves complex regulatory pathways. Appetite regulation is an important component of this, because it modulates energy intake. READ MORE

7. 5. Physical activity, cardiovascular fitness and abdominal adiposity in children and adolescents

   Author : Francisco B Ortega Porcel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Physical activity; accelerometry; fitness; aerobic capacity; adiposity; waist circumference; children; adolescents;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular fitness (CVF) and adiposity, especially abdominal adiposity, are well-known factors associated with general health status in childhood and adolescents. Physical activity (PA) may play a crucial role in CVF enhancement and the prevention of abdominal adiposity accumulation. READ MORE
