  2. 21. Studies on the regulation and in vitro metabolic effects of leptin in children and adults

    Author : Amira M I Elimam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Leptin; growth hormone; cortisol; Dexamethasone; insulin; fasting; total parenteral nutrition; meal timing; obese children; Prader Willi syndrome; adipocyte; lipolysis; lipogenesis.;

    Abstract : Leptin is a protein hormone secreted by adipocytes, which binds to receptors in the brain to affect food intake and energy expenditure. The leptin receptor is a member of the cytokine receptor family and is widely distributed in the body suggesting a broader role for leptin. READ MORE

  4. 22. The sites and mechanisms of postoperative insulin resistance

    Author : Jonas Nygren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; Insulin resistance; Glucosemetabolism; Glucose clamping technique; Gastric emptying; Immobilization; Preoperative fasting; ICF-I; Hospital stay; Stableisotopes ISBN 9;

    Abstract : In Sweden with nine million inhabitants, 450,000 operations (outpatients excluded) are performed every year resulting in 2,250,000 treatment days in hospital. Surgical operations are part of the treatment for 44% of all patients admitted to hospital care occupying 24% of all hospital beds. READ MORE

  5. 23. Lipoprotein lipase : mechanism for adaptation of activity to the nutritional state

    Author : Gengshu Wu; Thomas Olivecrona; Gunilla Olivecrona; Peter Nisson-Ehle; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; adipose tissue; heparin; extracellular; nutrition; turnover; actinomycin; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an enzyme to hydrolyze triglycerides in lipoproteins and thereby make the fatty acids available for cellular metabolic reactions. Short-term fasting down-regulates LPL activity in adipose tissue. This regulation is through post-translational mechanism. READ MORE

  6. 24. Hypertension in a defined population. The Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project

    Author : Erik Bøg-Hansen; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Socialmedicin; samhällsmedicin; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Social medicine; Cardiovascular system; sekretion; diabetologi; diabetology; Endokrinologi; secreting systems; Endocrinology; primary care.; treatment; survival; cardiovascular disease risk factors; insulin resistance; Hypertension; type 2 diabetes;

    Abstract : To examine cardiovascular disease risk factors, control of hypertension and survival in patients with hypertension treated in primary care, patients with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes were surveyed for cardiovascular disease risk factors and treatment 1992-1993. For reference, a random population sample from the same community was surveyed 1993-1994. READ MORE

  7. 25. Metabolic variations in canine overweight : aspects of lipid metabolism in spontaneously overweight Labrador Retriever dogs

    Author : Josefin Söder; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The prevalence of overweight in dogs is increasing. Canine overweight is associated with reduced quality of life, shorter life expectancy and metabolic variations such as insulin resistance and postprandial hyperlipidaemia. READ MORE
