  2. 21. Ambulatory blood pressure and components of the metabolic syndrome in the population : With reference to the renin-angiotensin system, IgF-I, IGFBP-1, neuropentide Y, and leptin

    Author : Fredrik Nyström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The term "the metabolic syndrome" has been given to the constellation of insulin resistance, high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. In western countries it is strongly associated with obesity and atherosclerosis. The cause of the metabolic syndrome is, however, incompletely understood. READ MORE

  4. 22. Aspects of Plasminiogen Activator Inhibitor 1 in Metabolic Syndrome

    Author : Karin Mossberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PAI-1; metabolic syndrome; obesity; type 2 diabetes; cardiovascular disease; fibrinolysis; thrombi; plasma; platelets; adipose tissue; mRNA; qPCR; reference gene;

    Abstract : Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is the main inhibitor of the fibrinolytic system and binds irreversibly to tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), and thereby inhibits the protective action of t-PA against thrombus formation. Elevated levels of plasma PAI-1 is observed in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is a combination of metabolic features including obesity. READ MORE

  5. 23. Molecular mechanisms in obesity-associated metabolic disease

    Author : Louise Olofsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : obesity; metabolic syndrome; cholesterol; resting metabolic rate; insulin resistance; serum amyloid A; S100 calcium binding protein A1; Zn-alpha2-glycoprotein; CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha;

    Abstract : Obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Subjects with obesity are at risk of developing several serious conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. READ MORE

  6. 24. Cardiovascular risk factors, diet and the metabolic syndrome

    Author : Per Sjögren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The clustering of metabolic disturbances, referred to as the metabolic syndrome, is today at the centre of attention. The rationale for this focus is that the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is increasing globally with subsequent increased risk for cardiovascular complications. READ MORE

  7. 25. Muscle Morphology and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome : A Population-Based Study of 70 Year-Old-Men in Uppsala

    Author : Anu Hedman; Stevo Julius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Muscle morphology; fiber distribution; capillary density; insulin resistance syndrome; physical activity; hypertension; insulin-mediated blood flow; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle accounts for the largest part of insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Insulin resistance (IR) is the main component of insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) and is an essential cause of a number of cardiovascular risk factors. READ MORE
