  2. 11. Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 regulates white, beige and brown adipose tissue

    Author : Jenny M Hoffmann; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; BMP4; Browning; WAT; BAT; insulin sensitivity;

    Abstract : Obesity and its associated complications, including Type 2 diabetes, are increasing at an epidemic rate globally. Adipose tissue exerts different functions and is central in energy homeostasis, and it consists of white, beige or brown adipocytes. READ MORE

  4. 12. Adipose tissue mitchondrial function is modulated by antioxidants

    Author : Eduard Peris Franquet; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipocyte; metabolism; browning; antioxidant; mitochondria; oxidative stress; adrenergic recpetor; N-acetylcysteine; glutathione; reactive oxygen species;

    Abstract : Antioxidants are widely used as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging agents in experimental research and in conditions where oxidative stress plays a primary role. However, the effect of antioxidant supplementation on white and brown adipose tissue functionality is understudied, and the role of ROS and/or antioxidant treatment during adipose tissue browning, a process in which the adipocytes’ mitochondrial density and activity increase, is largely unknown.

  5. 13. Studies on novel interactors in human adipose tissue

    Author : Amanda T Pettersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Obesity is associated with a mild inflammation and altered protein secretion in adipose tissue. These changes have been suggested to contribute to the development of obesity-associated disorders including, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

  6. 14. Studies on the links between white adipose tissue phenotype and the circulatory system

    Author : Jesper Bäckdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Obesity is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is defined by an unhealthy excess of white adipose tissue (WAT). Adipose derived weight gains and losses are linked to changes in two other independent cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, and arterial stiffness. READ MORE

  7. 15. Mechanism of pathological angiogenesis in adipose tissue and tumor

    Author : Yuan Xue; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis is critical for both malignant diseases, such as cancer, and non-malignant diseases, such as obesity and metabolic disorders. Majority of tissues and organs are highly vascularized. The malfunctions of tissue microenvironment are always accompanied with or dependent on the alterations of vasculature. READ MORE
