  1. 6. Fat metabolism : A clinical and experimental study with special reference to newborns

    Författare :Gertrud Angsten; Karl-Anders Dahlström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; neonates; total parenteral nutrition; plasma and muscle carnitine; carnitine reference intervals; medium-chain triglycerides; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; särskilt barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Lipid emulsion is an important constituent of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). In the investigations described in this thesis the effects of different lipid emulsions in neonates were studied. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Role of nuclear receptors in the regulation of human adipose tissue metabolism

    Författare :Prasad G. Kamble; Jan W Eriksson; Ingrid Dahlman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :human adipose tissue; nuclear receptors; glucocorticoids; estrogen; PPARγ; lipocalin 2; glucose uptake; lipolysis; adipogenesis; genotype-based recall;

    Sammanfattning : Nuclear receptors modulate expression of genes involved in adipose tissue (AT) metabolism. Their improved understanding may provide new treatment options for metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). LÄS MER

  4. 8. Estrogen and its receptors in adipose tissue from women and men : Associations with age, adiposity and type 2 diabetes

    Författare :Fozia Ahmed; Jan Eriksson; Maria J. Pereira; Susanne Hetty; Karin Stenkula; Uppsala University; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; estrogen; estrogen receptors; menopause; obesity; insulin resistance; type 2 diabetes.;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity and its complications, such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Adipose tissue is important for whole-body homeostasis, functioning as an energy storage reservoir and an endocrine organ. LÄS MER

  5. 9. AMP-activated protein kinase in adipose tissue

    Författare :Franziska Kopietz; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AMPK; adipose tissue; adipocytes; diabetes; insulin; glucose uptake; lipolysis; FA synthesis; ADaM site activators;

    Sammanfattning : The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a ubiquitously expressed kinase, which is activated in response to depletion of cellularenergy levels. Once active, it functions to alter cellular metabolism in a way that leads to restoration of energy levels. Therefore,AMPK is described as the key regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Human Brown Adipose Tissue : Methodological Development and Application

    Författare :Elin Lundström; Joel Kullberg; Håkan Ahlström; Lars Johansson; Robin Strand; Sven Månsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brown adipose tissue; Magnetic resonance imaging; Positron emission tomography; Image segmentation; Glucose metabolism;

    Sammanfattning : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ with the main human depot located in the cervical-supraclavicular (sBAT) region. BAT is proposed as a potential therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes. LÄS MER
