2. 16. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Human Brown Adipose Tissue : Methodological Development and Application

   Author : Elin Lundström; Joel Kullberg; Håkan Ahlström; Lars Johansson; Robin Strand; Sven Månsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brown adipose tissue; Magnetic resonance imaging; Positron emission tomography; Image segmentation; Glucose metabolism;

   Abstract : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ with the main human depot located in the cervical-supraclavicular (sBAT) region. BAT is proposed as a potential therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes. READ MORE

4. 17. Dietary, Pharmacological and Environmental Effects on Brown Adipose Tissue

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Obesity; brown adipose tissue; uncoupling protein 1; moderate cold exposure; calorimetry; thyroxine; dietary protein; thermic effect of food; diet-induced thermogenesis; adrenergic stimulation; mice; physiology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : Obesity is a common health issue; over 12 % of the adult world population have obesity. Obesity has many co-morbidities including cardo-vascular diseases and diabetes. Obesity is the result of chronic positive energy balance, eating too much and expending too little. READ MORE

5. 18. Peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism in brown adipose tissue and liver

   Author : Stefan E. H. Alexson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) produces heat in response to cold. The heat produced is mainly due to oxidation of fatty acids. In animal tissues, fatty acid 9-oxidation has generally been assumed to occur in mitochondria. READ MORE

6. 19. Basic Body Awareness Therapy , assessment, treatment and interaction

   Author : Amanda Lundvik Gyllensten; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; working alliance; interaction; Physical therapy; Body Awareness Scale-Health; Basic Body Awareness Therapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

   Abstract : The purpose of the present thesis was to investigate Basic Body Awareness Therapy (Basic BAT) in psychiatric outpatient care and the BAS-H, an assessment method for analysing movements and movement behaviour. Important factors in the interaction, therapeutic relationship and working alliance between patient and physiotherapist (PT) were also explored. READ MORE

7. 20. Mitochondrial form and function in pancreatic β-cells and brown adipocytes
