  2. 11. Human muscle response to sprint exercise in a gender perspective

    Author : Mona Esbjörnsson Liljedahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Anaerobic; Performance; Wingate-test; muscle biopsy; Adenine nucleotides; hormones; glycogen; type I fibres; type II fibres; fast twitch; slow twitch; muscle morphology; men; women; sprint training;

    Abstract : Anaerobic performance, muscle characteristics and acute and chronic response to sprint exercise were studied in physically active healthy women (n=35; age 24) and men (n=38; age 25). The aims of the present study were to: 1) Establish if women possess lower oxidative and glycolytic capacity, higher proportion of type I fibres and smaller type II fibre areas in relation to type I fibre areas in thigh musculature than men.

  4. 12. Amino acid and protein turnover in human skeletal muscle

    Author : Rokhsareh Farrah Vesali; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Critically ill patients are characterised by a severe net protein catabolism. The rate of muscle protein loss is in the magnitude of 10% per week. A consequence of muscle wasting is increased weakness, which is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. READ MORE

  5. 13. Inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation after balloon injury

    Author : Bojan Cercek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cell proliferation is an important part of the arterial response to injury Insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is involved in regulation of cell proliferation and hypopituitarism is associated with decreased vessel wall response to injury. We investigated the role of vascular IGF-I in vessel wall response to injury. READ MORE

  6. 14. Regulation of glucose transport and insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle

    Author : Jorge E Rincón Viatela; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : skeletal muscle; glucose transport; insulin resistance; hyperglycaemia; steroid hormones; smoking; nicotine;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle represents about 40% of body mass and accounts for at least 80% of glucose disposal under insulin-stimulated conditions. Furthermore, GLUT4 transport protein is the primary component of the glucose transport system in skeletal muscle. READ MORE

  7. 15. Insulin signaling and glucose transport in insulin resistant human skeletal muscle

    Author : Håkan K R Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; insulin resistance; type 2 diabetes; glucose transport; insulin signaling; first-degree relatives; AS160; SelS; rosiglitazone treatment;

    Abstract : Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is a hallmark feature of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate downstream intermediates in the insulin signaling pathway in an attempt to characterize the molecular mechanism of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes.
