1. Elucidating causal relationships between energy homeostasis and cardiometabolic outcomes
Sammanfattning : Energy metabolism dyshomeostasis is associated with multiple health problems. For example, abundant epidemiological data show that obesity and overweight increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and early mortality. LÄS MER
2. Leptin endocrinology and energy homeostasis in salmonids
Sammanfattning : In salmonids, the physiological role of leptin is not completely elucidated. Nonetheless, the anorexigenic effect of leptin indicates a role in their energy homeostasis. This thesis focuses on advancing the understanding of the involvement of the leptin system in the regulation of energy homeo-stasis and food intake in teleost fish. LÄS MER
3. Overweight and Obesity in Preschool Children : Early Risk Factors and Early Identification
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity in children has reached epidemic proportions in recent decades, and even the youngest age groups are affected. Excess weight during childhood often follows the child into adulthood and is associated with diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. LÄS MER
4. Experimental models for investigating IAPP regulation of food intake in rats and mice
Sammanfattning : Background: Maintenance of energy balance is one of the fundamental processes of living organisms and involves complex regulatory pathways. Appetite regulation is an important component of this, because it modulates energy intake. LÄS MER
5. Physical activity, cardiovascular fitness and abdominal adiposity in children and adolescents
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular fitness (CVF) and adiposity, especially abdominal adiposity, are well-known factors associated with general health status in childhood and adolescents. Physical activity (PA) may play a crucial role in CVF enhancement and the prevention of abdominal adiposity accumulation. LÄS MER
