  2. 1. The role of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript in endocrine cells

    Author : Liliya Shcherbina; Neuroendokrin cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : Type 2 Diabetes; T2D; cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript; CART; beta-cell; K-cell; L-cell; insulin; GIP; GLP-1; incretin hormones;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Disturbed beta-cell function is the final culprit that leads to the development of T2D. In addition, impaired incretin effect is likely a part of the pathogenesis of T2D. READ MORE

  4. 2. The role of CART in islet function

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript; CART; Diabetes; T2D; Human islets; Glucagon; Insulin; Adipocyte;

    Abstract : Diminished insulin secretion and dysregulated glucagon secretion are key features of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The overall aim of this thesis was to study the role of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) in islet cell function and how CART regulates glucose homeostasis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Central and Peripheral Neuroendocrine Factors in Cancer-Associated Anorexia and Cachexia

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome; inflammation; TSH receptor; cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript; nesfatin-1; CRH; hypothalamus; brainstem; MCG101;

    Abstract : Cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) develops in response to tumor-host biochemical interactions. A loss of appetite (anorexia) and increased metabolism results in a progressive wasting of adipose and skeletal muscle tissues (cachexia). READ MORE

    Author : Ramasri Sathanoori; Kardiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The metabolic syndrome is a clustering of several risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is a global problem with 90% of patients suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is attributable to various factors including genetic predispositions and lifestyle. READ MORE
