  2. 6. Cellobiose dehydrogenase on electrodes - an electrochemical biosensor for various analytes tunable by positive charges

    Author : Christopher Schulz; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cellobiose dehydrogenase; direct electron transfer; amperometric biosensor; glucose; lactose; cellobiose; calcium; polycation; graphite; gold; electrode;

    Abstract : Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is a sugar oxidizing enzyme secreted by various species of wood degrading fungi to assist the process of wood degradation. It can oxidise analytically relevant sugars as cellobiose, lactose or glucose leading to a gain of two electrons per sugar molecule. READ MORE

    Abstract : Obesity and related complications such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and cardiovascular events, are a growing major health problem worldwide. Achieving a negative energy balance by increasing physical activity in combination with reduced caloric intake, is the most common approach in weight reduction strategies, something that is difficult to maintain in the long term.

  5. 8. Studies on factors modulating glucose homeostasis in healthy and diabetic rats

    Author : Kamal Yassin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : glucose homeostasis;

    Abstract : Glucose is the most common substrate for energy metabolism. Despite the varying demands for glucose, the body needs to regulate its internal environment and maintain a constant and stable condition. Glucose homeostasis requires harmonized interaction between several tissues, achieving equilibrium between glucose output and uptake. READ MORE

  6. 9. Islet glucose metabolism and insulin release in two animal models of glucose intolerance

    Author : Zong-Chao Ling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Goto-Kakizaki GK rat; transgenic mice; glucose-6-phosphatase activity; insulin secretion; glucocorticoids; [alpha]2-adrenergic receptors; hyperglycemia;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is a complex and heterogenous disease resulting from the interaction of defects of both genetic and environmental origin. Abnormalities contributing to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes include impaired [beta]-cell function, peripheral insulin resistance and increased hepatic glucose production. READ MORE

  7. 10. Effects of prolactin on metabolism - changes induced by hyperprolactinemia

    Author : Louise Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : prolactin; prolactin receptor; hyperprolactinemia; adipose tissue; lipoprotein lipase; malonyl-CoA; glucose transporter 4; retinol-binding protein 4; adiponectin; lipid oxidation;

    Abstract : High prolactin levels during breast-feeding, is recognized to influence metabolism in order to supply glucose and fat for milk production. Pathologic overproduction of prolactin, hyperprolactinemia, is a condition primarily associated with reproductive disorders; however, the metabolic impact of elevated prolactin indicates that these parameters might be considered in clinical management of the condition.
