2. 1. Quantitation of gluconeogenesis in humans

   Author : Karin Ekberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Gluconeogenesis; mass isotopomer distribution analysis; deuteratedwater; hexamethylenetetramine; splanchnic and renal glucose production;

   Abstract : Several methods have been introduced for estimating gluconeogenesis, but none provides a direct measurement without assumptions that condition the accuracy of the estimate. The aim of this work has been to develop a new method for quantitative studies of gluconeogenesis, applicable in humans. READ MORE

4. 2. Cholesterol homeostasis in the brain : importance of 24S-hydroxylation

   Author : Dieter Lütjohann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Brain cholesterol is characterized by a very low turnover with very little exchange with lipoproteins in the circulation. We have investigated whether side chain-hydroxylated cholesterol species are important for elimination of cholesterol from the brain. About 80% of 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-OH-Chol) present in the body is present in the brain. READ MORE
