16. Aspects of Abnormal Glucose Regulation in Various Manifestations of Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract : Background Diabetes is common among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with an approximate doubling of the mortality risk in this patient population. Prediabetes, an intermediate glycometabolic state between normal and diabetic glucose homeostasis, is also prevalent in patients with CAD but its prognostic impact has not been studied in detail.

17. Quantitation, Purification and Reconstitution of the Red Blood Cell Glucose Transporter GLUT1
Abstract : The human glucose transporter GLUT1 facilitates glucose to be accumulated on the other side of the cell membrane. The functional state of GLUT1 is uncertain due to diversity of the reports. In this thesis, the activity of red blood cell GLUT1 was extensively studied to further characterize this protein.

18. Effects of acute metabolic interventions on hemodynamics, endothelial function and forearm glucose uptake
Abstract : Hyperinsulinemia is known to augment endothelium-dependent.vasodilation (EDV). If physiological levels of insulin lead to peripheral, vasodilation and if this vasodilation is an independent determinant of skeletal muscle glucose uptake is however under debate. READ MORE

19. β-adrenergic regulation of glucose transporters
Abstract : The transport of glucose across the plasma membrane is a fundamental mechanism to provide cells with its basic requirements for energy yielding processes. It is also vital for clearing glucose from blood into tissues, a process normally stimulated by the hormone insulin in mammals. READ MORE

20. Retinal glucose metabolism and blood flow : Effects of photic stimulation
Abstract : Retinal glucose metabolism was investigated under different light conditions in cats,pigs and rabbits. Glycolysis and glucose oxidation in the outer and inner parts of theretina were assessed by determining arteriovenous concentration differences foroxygen, glucose and lactate, as well as local blood flow.
