  2. 1. Conjugated linoleic acid and the metabolic syndrome : Clinical and metabolic studies with special reference to insulin resistance, oxidative stress and inflammation

    Author : Ulf Risérus; Keith Frayn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Metabolic syndrome; dietary fatty acids; conjugated linoleic acid; insulin resistance; oxidative stress; inflammation; cardiovascular disease; dyslipidemia; abdominal obesity; type 2 diabetes; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; Nutrition; näringslära;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the metabolic effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in middle-aged men with the metabolic syndrome, a high-risk group for type 2 diabetes. CLA is a group of fatty acid isomers with antiobesity and antidiabetogenic effects in animals, and CLA is therefore used as a supplement in humans. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adipose markers of metabolic outcome after weight loss

    Author : Daniel Eriksson Hogling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Adipose tissue is closely linked to metabolic disturbances in obesity. Bariatric surgery such as roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remains the most effective treatment of obesity and obesity-related disease. READ MORE

    Abstract : During the past decades the knowledge concerning risk factors and pathophysiology of coronary heart disease (CHD) has substantially increased. However, despite identification of important risk factors CHD remains the leading cause of death in the western world. READ MORE

  7. 5. Tenomodulin, serum amyloid A and the serum amyloid A receptor selenoprotein S – implications for metabolic disease

    Author : Maja Olsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases are associated with a low-grade inflammation, including slightly increased serum levels of the acute phase protein serum amyloid A (A-SAA). A-SAA is one amongst several adipose tissue (AT) produced proteins suggested to influence development of metabolic diseases. READ MORE
