  2. 1. The role of the gut microbiota in central energy balance regulation

    Author : Christina Heiss; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut microbiota; energy balance regulation; hypothalamic inflammation; astrocytes; blood-brain barrier; neurons;

    Abstract : The gut microbiota can affect development and metabolism in the host. Today, much is still unknown regarding the effects of the gut microbiota on central energy balance regulation. We used mouse models to determine the role of the gut microbiota in diet- induced hypothalamic inflammation as well as in hypothalamic development. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pathogenesis of Obesity and Effects of Treatment. Clinical and Molecular Studies on Body Fat, Energy Balance, and Weight Loss

    Author : Anders Gummesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Obesity; Adipose tissue; Obesity treatment; Energy balance; Visceral obesity; Weight loss; Cancer; Human studies;

    Abstract : Obesity is common and related to many health problems including various forms of cancer. The condition arises from the imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure, and is strongly influenced by genetic factors. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; C.elegans; fat metabolism; S6 Kinase; FT-IR; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; molecular medicine  genetics and pathology ;

    Abstract : Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has been accumulated. It is most commonly caused by imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure (lack of physical activity and lower metabolic rate, etc.). READ MORE

  7. 5. Climate Impact and Energy Balance of Emerging Biorefinery Systems

    Author : Hanna Karlsson Potter; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Use of fossil fuels is the main contributor to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Biorefineries, which are facilities that produce a set of valuable products from biomass, have been suggested as alternatives to fossil refineries, for the production of fuels, chemicals and materials.
