  2. 11. Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. With special reference to interstitial insulin and glycerol

    Author : Mikaela Sjöstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insulin resistance; skeletal muscle; microdialysis; interstitial insulin; interstitial glycerol;

    Abstract : Insulin resistance is a central feature of type 2 diabetes and obesity and is associated with cardiovascular disease. In insulin-resistant muscle, the insulin-mediated glucose uptake is decreased.The delivery of insulin to the interstitial fluid of human skeletal muscle has previously not been investigated.

  4. 12. Diet and endometrial cancer : insulin related factors

    Author : Emilie Friberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is accumulating evidence that insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are involved in the etiology of endometrial cancer. Dietary intake can influence insulin levels especially among individuals who are already insulin resistant. Coffee drinking has been reported to have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity.

  5. 13. Diabetes, physical activity and endometrial cancer

    Author : Emilie Friberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Accumulating evidence suggests that hyperinsulinemia, in the context of insulin resistance, is associated with carcinogenesis. Physical activity is involved in the regulation of metabolic and hormonal pathways and is an important factor affecting hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and body weight. READ MORE

  6. 14. Impaired Glucose Tolerance in Childhood Obesity : Contribution of Glucagon, GLP-1 and Inflammation

    Author : Hannes Manell; Peter Bergsten; Anders Forslund; Jens Juul Holst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood obesity; impaired glucose tolerance; type 2 diabetes; glucagon; glucagon-like peptide-1; dipeptidyl peptidase-4; inflammation; free fatty acids; insulin; visceral adiposity; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : In the wake of increased obesity prevalence, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in childhood and adolescence is increasingly common. Given the negative impacts these conditions have on health over time, understanding the pathophysiology in those affected early in life is important. READ MORE

  7. 15. The role of GH in the regulation of energy homeostasis, lipid metabolism and cardiovascular function in transgenic mice

    Author : Bob Olsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; cardiovascular disease; energy homeostasis; lipid metabolism; transgenic mice;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was, using two transgenic models, to investigate some metabolic diseases associated with acromegaly e.g. hypertension and alterations in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. READ MORE
