  2. 1. Growth hormone and PPARalpha in the regulation of genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism

    Author : Caroline Améen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Growth hormone; insulin; SREBP-1; lipogenic enzymes; microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; PPARalpha; LXRalpha; triglycerides; liver;

    Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) plays a key role in the regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Its sexually dimorphic secretory pattern regulates many sex-differentiated functions in the liver, such as triglyceride synthesis and VLDL secretion. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular mechanisms of antidiabetic effects of estrogen

    Author : Galyna Bryzgalova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Estrogen; glucose tolerance; insulin sensitivity; lipogenic genes; Lepr; Stat3; G6pc; Srebp1c;

    Abstract : The role of estrogen in the development and regulation of female reproduction is well established. However, recent studies demonstrate that estrogen has a multiple effects on body functions. At present, it is becoming well recognized that one of the important roles of estrogen is the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. READ MORE

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, affecting ~12%. Although most are clinically insignificant low-risk cancers, the more aggressive high-risk cancers require correct staging, prior to curative radiotherapy or surgery. READ MORE

  6. 4. Estrogen signaling in metabolic disease : a functional genomics approach

    Author : Hui Gao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : estrogen receptor; insulin sensitivity; functional genomics; mouse liver; lipid metabolism;

    Abstract : Estrogens have traditionally been associated with female reproduction. More and more evidence has also linked estrogens to maintenance of glucose homeostasis and normal heart function. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulation of Elovl and fatty acid metabolism

    Author : Annelie Brolinson; Anders Jacobsson; Jaap Keijer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fatty acid metabolism; fatty acid elongation; Physiology; Fysiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Abstract : Fatty acids are important regulators in the control of mammalian energy homeostasis. They are ingested in the diet but a significant amount are also endogenously produced by de novo lipogenesis. READ MORE
