21. On the Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Glucose Homeostasis
Sammanfattning : Obesity has grown to epidemic proportions, and in lack of efficient life-style and medical treatments, the bariatric surgeries are performed in rising numbers. The most common surgery is the Gastric Bypass (GBP) surgery, with the Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (DS) as an option for the most extreme cases with a BMI>50 kg/m2. LÄS MER
22. Strategies to improve outcome after islet transplantation using the GLP-1 receptor agonist, extendin-4
Sammanfattning : Transplantation of pancreatic islets into the liver via the portal vein has emerged as a treatment option for patients with type I diabetes mellitus. However, loss of functional beta cell mass during isolation and following implantation is a major obstacle in obtaining good long-term results. LÄS MER
23. Development of nuclear medicine methods for gastric and small bowel motility : effects of GLP-1 on gastric emptying
Sammanfattning : The diagnosis of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract requires techniques being both sufficiently sensitive to detect disturbances of the normal physiology and low-invasive enough not to interfere with the properties being studied. The purpose was to set up nuclear medicine methods for assessment of upper GI tract motility and study the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on gastric emptying. LÄS MER
24. Metabolic and endocrine effects of SGLT2 inhibition
Sammanfattning : Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are two growing global health problems with similar comorbidity profiles. SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve blood glucose control and can relieve both T2D and obesity, as well as their associated health problems such as hypertension, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease.

25. GLP-1 secretion and signaling in patients with aneurysmal enlargement of the thoracic aorta : a potential contributor to reduced prevalence of aneurysm in diabetes
Sammanfattning : An aortic aneurysm is a localized dilation of the artery, greater than 50% of the normal size. It is the result of a weakening of the aortic wall, and untreated or unrecognized aortic aneurysms may be fatal due to massive internal bleeding, as a result of dissection or rupture of the aneurysm.
