  2. 11. Elevated fasting glucose levels in obese children and adolescents : prevalence and long-term consequences

    Author : Emilia Hagman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Obesity in childhood and adolescents is a major concern in Sweden, as in many parts of the world. Already during the pediatric years is obesity associated with several metabolic complications, which often persists into adulthood. An important metabolic concern is the disturbance of the glucose-insulin homeostasis. READ MORE

  4. 12. Glucose-lowering interventions and risk assessment in patients with coronary heart disease and disturbed glucose metabolism

    Author : Camilla Hage; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Abnormal glucose regulation (AGR) including impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) are common in patients with stable and unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) and impair their prognosis. Available glucose lowering interventions have not fully succeeded in improving the detrimental prognosis and accurate screening methods and new treatment strategies are needed. READ MORE

  5. 13. Glucose abnormalities and heart failure : epidemiological and therapeutic aspects

    Author : Inga S þráinsdóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The combination of heart failure and glucose abnormalities is seen with increasing frequency. The condition, which is characterised by low functional capacity and a high mortality, is very resource consuming. The link between glucose abnormalities and heart failure is complex. READ MORE

  6. 14. Glucose regulation and coronary artery disease : studies on prevalence, recognition and prognostic implications

    Author : Malgorzata Zofia Bartnik; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Glucose metabolism; coronary artery disease; classification; prevalence; prognosis; risk oral glucose tolerance test; diabetes mellitus;

    Abstract : Coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus type 2 represent chronic diseases of substantial and growing prevalence. Their coincidence is common, markedly enhancing mortality and morbidity. The risk for cardiovascular disease increases along a spectrum of blood glucose concentrations from levels regarded as normal.

  7. 15. Molecular regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle

    Author : Sameer S Kulkarni; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle is a primary site of insulin action and insulin-stimulated glucose transport and occupies a center stage in maintaining whole body glucose and lipid homeostasis. Another key feature of a healthy skeletal muscle is its ability to switch between utilization of lipids and glucose as fuel in response to feeding or fasting respectively. READ MORE
