  2. 6. Proliferative and protective effects of the GH/IGF-I axis on cardiomyocytes and neural progenitor cells

    Author : Inger Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : GH; IGF-I; GH secretagogues; Ghrelin; Cardiovascular; Neurogenesis; Hippocampus; Proliferation; Protection;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in the Western world and the majority of cardiovascular deaths are caused by coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease. Growth hormone (GH) is a growth-promoting hormone synthesized by the pituitary. READ MORE

  4. 7. Energy metabolism as a target for new treatment strategies in Huntington’s disease

    Author : Marie Sjögren; Biomarkörer vid hjärnsjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington´s disease; Energy metabolic alteration; Weight loss; Skeletal muscle; Adipose tissue; R6 2; Ghrelin; Liraglutide;

    Abstract : Huntington´s disease (HD) is a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG triplet repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene and characterized by cognitive and motoric dysfunctions as well as psychiatric problems. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests altered energy metabolism and a hyper-catabolic state as key features of HD pathology. READ MORE

  5. 8. Influence of Islet-derived Factors in Islet Microcirculation and Endocrine Function

    Author : Carl Johan Drott; Per-Ola Carlsson; Leif Jansson; Albert Salehi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes mellitus; pancreas; blood flow; islet vascularity; islet-derived; TSP-1; ghrelin; CART; irisin; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a disorder with complex pathology and is frequently associated with vascular complications. In the islet micro milieu locally generated factors may affect both the physiology and the morphology of the tissue. READ MORE

  6. 9. Neural circuit mapping af orexigenic systems

    Author : Iris Stoltenborg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orexigenic; ghrelin; feeding; food-cue; arcuate nucleus; lateral hypothalamus; orexin; activity-based anorexia;

    Abstract : Orexigenic systems in the brain process appetite and/or hunger information and ultimately coordinate feeding responses. These brain circuits are critical for survival and originally evolved to ensure that we consume sufficient amounts of diverse nutrients to survive future famines. READ MORE

  7. 10. Environmental, nutritional and endocrine regulation of metabolic processes in fish

    Author : Andreas Kullgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : lipids; metabolism; temperature; fasting; growth hormone; ghrelin; NMR; metabolomics; Salmo salar; Oncorhynchus mykiss;

    Abstract : Due to seasonal variations in temperature and food availability, fish in temperate regions should be able to make metabolic adjustments to ensure that enough energy is available for the maintenance of basal processes. The major aim of this thesis was to elucidate how the physiology and lipid metabolism of salmonid fish is affected by temperature and food availability, and to clarify aspects of the endocrine control of lipid metabolism.
