1. Adipose tissue gene expression & candidate genes for obesity
Abstract : Obesity results from an interaction between genetic and environmental factors and is a growing health problem associated with development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This thesis has focused on investigating the genetic contribution in obesity and insulin resistance by both candidate and global gene approaches with focus on the adipose tissue. READ MORE

2. Physical activity, visceral adipose tissue, and cardiovascular disease in older adults : associations and effects
Abstract : BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a substantial public health burden and is the leading cause of mortality in older adults. With the population aging rapidly, interventions aimed at improving modifiable risk factors for CVD, such as physical inactivity and visceral obesity, could play an important role in reducing its burden, provided they are proven effective.

4. Adipose Tissue Heterogeneity - Development and Application of Nonlinear Microscopy Methods
Abstract : Although the negative health impacts of obesity have been well documented, the number of overweight or obese patients has and is predicted to continue rising. One of the causal factors of obesity is a constant positive energy balance mainly from excessively high caloric intake from food compared with limited physical activity (caloric expenditure).

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