1. Identification of abnormally expressed genes in skeletal muscle contributing to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : The metabolic defects of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes can result from changes in gene expression and protein functions due to genetic and environmental influences. The aim of this study was to identify abnormally expressed genes associated with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, and further to test whether possible defects are inherited or acquired. LÄS MER
2. Regulation of Glutamine Synthetase in the Diazotroph Rhodospirillum rubrum
Sammanfattning : The bacterial cell needs ammonia for synthesis of glutamine from glutamate. Only one enzyme is able to catalyze this reaction, namely glutamine synthetase (GS). GS can be regulated both transcriptionally and post-translationally and it is present in all kingdoms of life. LÄS MER
3. Human glycogen synthase genes. Role in insulin resistance and hypoglycaemia
Sammanfattning : Effective insulin-stimulated storage of excess glucose after a meal, and its rapid mobilisation in the fasting state provide basis of glucose homeostasis. Glycogen is the macromolecular storage form of glucose and glycogen synthase (GS) is the rate-limiting enzyme in glycogen synthesis. Skeletal muscle and liver are the major depots of glycogen.

4. Molecular aspects of glutathione synthetase deficiency
Sammanfattning : The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is involved in several crucial pathways in the cell, for instance regulation of enzyme activity, DNA synthesis, and free radical scavenging. Synthesis of GSH takes place via two steps in the gamma-glutamyl cycle. LÄS MER
5. Hit Identification and Hit Expansion in Antituberculosis Drug Discovery : Design and Synthesis of Glutamine Synthetase and 1-Deoxy-D-Xylulose-5-Phosphate Reductoisomerase Inhibitors
Sammanfattning : Since the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) as the bacterial agent causing tuberculosis, the permanent eradication of this disease has proven challenging. Although a number of drugs exist for the treatment of tuberculosis, 1.7 million people still die every year from this infection. LÄS MER
