  2. 1. Metabolism of inorganic arsenic and biomarkers of exposure

    Author : Gabriela Concha; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Arsenic; metabolism; methylation; biomarker; infant; children; women; drinking water; breast milk;

    Abstract : Humans as well as most mammals metabolize inorganic arsenic (Inorg As), a recognized human carcinogen, by methylation. The end-metabolites methylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) are less toxic and more readily excreted in the urine than Inorg As. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mathematical Modelling of Insulin Signalling : Effects on Glucose Metabolism in Skeletal Muscle

    Author : Peter Sögård; Högskolan i Skövde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Naturvetenskap; Natural sciences;

    Abstract : The use of models to understand complex phenomena is indispensable to the scientific community. The advantage of a model is that it simplifies the phenomena under study. However, a model should be only as complex as required, no more, no less. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Role of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin in the Regulation of Amino Acid Transporters in the Human Placenta

    Author : Sara Roos; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : amino acids; fetal growth restriction; human; mammalian target of rapamycin; membrane transporters; metabolism; placenta; pregnancy; system A; system L; taurine transporter;

    Abstract : Abnormal fetal growth, which is associated with both perinatal morbidity as well as metabolic diseases in adulthood, is an important clinical problem affecting as many as 15% of all pregnancies. However, to this date, there is no specific treatment of this condition. READ MORE

  6. 4. Roles of PI3-kinase and ARAP2 in regulating glucose metabolism

    Author : Aditi Chaudhari; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PI3-kinase; Type 2 diabetes; ARAP2; Lipid droplets; metabolism;

    Abstract : Insulin signaling is mediated by a complex, highly integrated network which functions to control multiple metabolic and growth processes throughout the organism. A key enzyme in the insulin signaling network is phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). READ MORE

  7. 5. Metabolic aspects of cardiac arrhythmias

    Author : Sigfus Gizurarson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiologi; Electrofysiologi; Djurexperiment; Metabolism;

    Abstract : Cardiac arrhythmias are an important cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with cardiac diseases. Sudden death due to ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and heart failure (HF) is a frequent cause of premature death. READ MORE
