  2. 11. Leptin and the Intersection of Cardiovascular Disease, Metabolism, and Adipose Tissue

    Author : Camilla Vavruch; Fredrik Nyström; Carl Johan Östgren; Johan Ärnlöv; Kristina Boström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Leptin; Type 2 diabetes mellitus; Adipose tissue; Cardiovascular disease; Metabolism; Cardiovascular risk factors;

    Abstract : According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, and it is the leading cause of death worldwide. The risk factors for CVD are divided into two major classes: non-modifiable (age, gender, family history) and modifiable (including tobacco use, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, dyslipidemia, and stress).

  4. 12. On the role of gut microbiota in intestinal physiology and hepatic metabolism

    Author : Mattias Bergentall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microbiota; metabolism;

    Abstract : The gut microbiota, a complex and dynamic community of microbes in the mammalian gut, has coevolved with us for ample time providing mutual benefits. However, mechanistic knowledge of these has been limited, but are now becoming increasingly clear. READ MORE

  5. 13. Enterostatin - target proteins and intracellular mechanisms. Function in food intake and energy metabolism

    Author : Karin Berger; Molekylär endokrinologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ATP; energy metabolism; insulin; uncoupling protein; beta-casomorphin; opiate; SK-N-MC; INS-1; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; fat intake; F1F0-ATP synthase; appetite; enterostatin; satiety; obesity;

    Abstract : Hunger and satiety are the results of complex neural events that involve several neurotransmitters and peptides. Enterostatin is an appetite-regulating peptide released in the intestine in response to fat ingestion. Enterostatin specifically decreases fat intake, but has also metabolic effects like inhibition of insulin secretion. READ MORE

  6. 14. Links between plasma apoE and glucose metabolism, brain insulin signaling, and synaptic integrity : Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology

    Author : Anna Edlund; Henrietta Nielsen; William Rebeck; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; apolipoprotein E; insulin; metabolism; Amyloid precursor protein APP ; Fe65; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Human apolipoprotein E (apoE) exists as three main isoforms called apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4, of which the E4 isoform is associated with increased Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk. Brain glucose hypometabolism, linked to synaptic dysfunction, occurs years before symptom onset in AD, especially in APOEε4-carriers. READ MORE

  7. 15. Sex steroid metabolism and body composition

    Author : Charlotte Swanson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : UDP glucuronosyltranferases; polymorphisms; androgens; glucuronidated androgen metabolites; fat mass; bone; metabolic risk factors; population study;

    Abstract : Background: The bioactive androgens testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) regulate bone and fat mass in men. The effects of androgens are largely determined by the rate of their synthesis and inactivation. READ MORE
