1. Adipocyte size and function in the epididymal and inguinal fat depots
Sammanfattning : Nearly 60% of the worlds adult population is projected to be overweight or obese by 2030. The prevalence of obesity- related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), has increased markedly in the past decades. The adipose tissue plays an important role in disease progression of T2D.

2. Unraveling Mechanisms of Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes in Human Adipocytes : Role of extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and forkhead box protein 01 (FOX01)
Sammanfattning : Type 2 Diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia primarily caused due to insulin resistance in insulin responsive tissues and insufficient production of insulin by the β-cells. Insulin resistance appears to develop first in the expanding adipose tissue during caloric surplus and affects other tissues like liver and muscle by ectopic fat accumulation. LÄS MER
3. Fat cell insulin resistance : an experimental study focusing on molecular mechanisms in type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to further increase our understanding of mechanisms contributing to and maintaining cellular insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D). For this reason, the effects of high glucose and insulin levels on glucose transport capacity and insulin signaling, with emphasis on insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) were assessed in fat cells.

4. Intestinal Gene Expression Profiling and Fatty Acid Responses to a High-fat Diet
Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) regulates nutrient uptake, secretes hormones and has a crucial gut flora and enteric nervous system. Of relevance for these functions are the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and the solute carriers (SLCs). LÄS MER
