  2. 16. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins : postprandial metabolism and composition in relation to atherosclerosis

    Author : Johan Björkegren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : triglyceride-rich lipoproteins; very low density lipoproteins; chylomicrons; lipoprotein remnants; apolipoprotein E and C; cholesterol; atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : A relationship between postprandial lipaemia and coronary heart disease (CHD) was established as early as the 1950s. Since then, most attention has been paid to postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) of intestinal origin, i.e. chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants, whereas TRLs of hepatic origin, i.

  4. 17. Diet and postprandial risk markers for complications in type 2 diabetes

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

    Abstract : The period after a meal is complex with fluctuation in blood glucose, lipids and other metabolic responses. This may induce and/or increase inflammation and contribute to future development of diabetic complications. Prevention of complications include well-controlled disease management, including diet.

  5. 18. Pharmacometric Characterization of Postprandial Responses and Taste Perception in Individuals with Obesity

    Author : Jennifer Leohr; Maria Kjellsson; Andrew Hooker; Martin Adiels; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacometrics; mechanism-based; categorical modeling; obesity; triglycerides; glucose homeostasis; taste perception; linked categorical;

    Abstract : Obesity is a major health epidemic worldwide and occurs when long-term excess of energy intake beyond energy utilization leads to an increase in adipose tissue. Energy balance is coordinated by the central nervous system regulation of appetite and adaptive thermogenesis via a complex array of neuropeptides which communicate to the periphery by various circulating measures dictating the utilization of various energy sources such as, carbohydrates, fat, or protein.

  6. 19. Postprandial lipaemia and its relation to premature atherosclerosis in middle-aged men

    Author : Susanna Boquist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : alimentary lipaemia; atherosclerosis; atorvastatin; coronary heart disease; intima-media thickness; triglyceride-rich lipoproteins;

    Abstract : The present research programme was set up to investigate whether pertubations of the metabolism of postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) are related to premature atherosclerosis and to determine if treatment with a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor (atorvastatin) improves deranged alimentary lipaemia in postinfarction patients with combined hyperlipidaemia. The relation between plasma insulin and alimentary lipaemia was investigated as well. READ MORE

  7. 20. Glycaemic Response in Relation to Gastric Emptying and Satiety in Health and Disease

    Author : Joanna Hlebowicz; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : Diabetes; Cinnamon; Satiety; Healthy subjects; Gastroparesis; Blood Glucose; Ultrasound; Gastric emptying; Whole-kernel; Dietary fibre; Beta-glucan; Wheat; Oat;

    Abstract : Dietary fibre and whole grains are recommended to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. Low glycaemic index foods that are rich in fibre are recommended to control blood glucose levels. Gastric emptying, together with other factors, regulate the postprandial blood glucose response.
