  2. 11. Early perturbations in lipid metabolism in insulin resistance

    Author : Else Hellebö Johanson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : insulin resistance; nateglinide; peak VO2; postprandial; relatives; triglyceride-rich lipoproteins; visceral fat; VLDL;

    Abstract : Subjects with the Metabolic Syndrome with or without type 2 diabetes are at excess risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms are still not completely understood. Resistance to insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is associated with several metabolic and hemostatic risk factors for cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

  4. 12. Regulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 : role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, fatty acids and fibrate compounds

    Author : Lennart Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; coronary heart disease; endothelial cells; very low density lipoprotein VLDL ; 4G 5G polymorphism; VLDL response element; fibrate compounds; VLDL receptor; stroke;

    Abstract : Impaired fibrinolytic function secondary to elevated plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity is associated with atherothrombotic disease, in particular coronary heart disease. Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to determine plasma PAI-1 levels and PAI-1 production in vivo. READ MORE

  5. 13. Lipoproteins in the postprandial state: Studies on the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins using multicompartmental models

    Author : Elias Björnson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipoprotein metabolism; Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease;

    Abstract : Lipoproteins are lipid-containing spherical particles that circulate in the human blood stream. The reason for their intense study over the decades is their ability to cause atherosclerosis1. READ MORE

  6. 14. Studies on the metabolism of triglyceride-rich serum lipoproteins with special reference to hyperlipoproteinaemia type III

    Author : Bengt Vessby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  7. 15. Growth hormone and PPARalpha in the regulation of genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism

    Author : Caroline Améen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Growth hormone; insulin; SREBP-1; lipogenic enzymes; microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; PPARalpha; LXRalpha; triglycerides; liver;

    Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) plays a key role in the regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Its sexually dimorphic secretory pattern regulates many sex-differentiated functions in the liver, such as triglyceride synthesis and VLDL secretion. READ MORE
