  1. 11. From GWAS to gene : Zebrafish as a model system for large-scale studies of obesity and comorbidities

    Författare :Eugenia Mazzaferro; Marcel den Hoed; Randall Peterson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; zebrafish; genetic screens; gene editing; CRISPR Cas9; obesity; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity increases the risk of developing comorbidities such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, not all obese individuals develop comorbidities, and those that do not are referred to as “metabolically healthy obesity” individuals. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Obesity-associated inflammation in adipose tissue

    Författare :Malin Alvehus; Tommy Olsson; Agneta Holmäng; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipose tissue; inflammation; pro-inflammatory cytokines; serum; obesity; weight loss; menopause;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Excess body fat, particularly in the visceral depot, is linked to increased mortality and morbidity, including the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Chronic low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue may be a key mediator of obesity-associated diseases. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Exploring food concepts for the prevention of type 2 diabetes

    Författare :Ulrika Axling; Molekylär endokrinologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glycaemic index; whole grain; Type 2 diabetes; obesity; rose hip;

    Sammanfattning : There is currently a dramatic and global increase in obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated metabolic disorders. T2D can be delayed or prevented in individuals at risk and identifying and developing new food concepts for the prevention of obesity and T2D is of utmost importance. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Family-related obesity risk factors and dietary behaviours in high-risk populations : associations with child weight development

    Författare :Viktoria Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Obesity rates in Swedish children are currently not increasing, however socioeconomic disparities are widening. Many children become obese as early as their preschool years. Hereditary and environmental family-related risk factors are the dominating determinants of child obesity, with parental obesity as the most important. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Human adipose tissue. Genes predominantly expressed in the visceral depot and in hypertrophic adipocytes

    Författare :Jenny Palming; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :obesity; type 2 diabetes; adipose tissue depots; complement system; plasma cell; Fc receptor; serum amyloid A; NAD P H:quinone oxidoreductase 1; DNA microarray;

    Sammanfattning : The obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide and obesity is closely linked to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Both visceral fat accumulation and enlarged adipocyte size are risk factors for obesity related metabolic disorders. LÄS MER
