1. Genetic and Metabolic Markers for the Development of Diabetes after Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Sammanfattning : The aims of this work were to determine the prevalence of postpartum diabetes among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a prospective study 5 years postpartum; to characterize these women according to insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, autoimmunity and genetics; and to identify possible markers and predictors for the development of manifest diabetes. The subjects were recruited through a regional screening programme in which oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) are routinely offered to all pregnant women. LÄS MER
2. Oral glucose tolerance test as a prognostic tool in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Sammanfattning : Background: Disturbances of glucose metabolism such as type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance are established risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. The disturbances lead to hyperglycaemia and the most common methods to diagnose hyperglycaemia are HbA1c, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). LÄS MER
3. Exercising on the edge: mitochondrial and metabolic responses to intense training
Sammanfattning : Exercise and exercise training induces several physiological adaptations that increase the oxidative capacity of the muscles and improve glucose regulation. While the positive metabolic adaptations and effects on glucose regulation after exercise and exercise training have been extensively studied, negative outcomes have not. LÄS MER
4. Sampling from a suction induced mini-erosion in human skin. Methodological studies
Sammanfattning : Dermal interstitial fluid (IF) was extracted serially and painlessly by brief suction for as long as 6 days. The erosion was otherwise kept occluded, Sample volumes exceded those required for measuring a wide range of biological substances. Epidermal regeneration was rapid. LÄS MER
5. Mechanism-Based Modelling of Clinical and Preclinical Studies of Glucose Homeostasis
Sammanfattning : Glucose is an important nutrient and energy source in the body. However, too high concentration in the blood is harmful and may lead to several complications developing over time. It was estimated that 5 million people in the world died from complications related to diabetes during 2015. LÄS MER
