  1. 21. Human Dermal Fibroblasts in Tissue Engineering

    Författare :Johan Junker; Gunnar Kratz; Hans Johnson; Anders Lindahl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The loss or failure of tissues and/or organs is one of the most frequent problems in modern healthcare. The field of tissue engineering applies the principles of biology and engineering in order to develop functional substitutes for damaged tissues. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Regulation of glycerol efflux in adipocytes. Structural and functional studies of the glycerol channel aquaporin 7

    Författare :Sofia de Mare; Medicinsk strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glycerol : metabolism; Lipolysis; X-ray Crystallography; Perilipin 1; Aquaglyceroporin; Aquaporin 7; Adipocytes metabolism; Glycerol : metabolism; adipocyte metabolism; X-ray crystallography; Aquaglyceroporin; Aquaporin 7; Perilipin 1; Lipolysis;

    Sammanfattning : Glycerol levels in adipocytes depend on the lipolysis, the hydrolysis of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids, and the efflux of glycerol across the plasma membrane through glycerol channels. The aims of this work were to investigate how glycerol levels are regulated on a molecular level by PLIN1, a major lipid droplet-associated protein and a key regulator of the lipolysis by scaffolding for lipolytic proteins on the lipid droplet.

  4. 23. Lipid Metabolism and Insulin Signalling in Adipocytes : enhanced autophagy in type 2 diabetes

    Författare :Anita Öst; Peter Strålfors; Johanna Gustavsson Dahlberg; Anna Krook; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Energy storage in the adipose tissue, to an extent leading to obesity, is associated with local as well assystemic insulin resistance. When insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas gradually fail tocompensate, plasma levels of glucose rise and overt type 2 diabetes is diagnosed. LÄS MER

  5. 24. 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

  7. 25. The regulatory role of microRNA in human adipocytes and their link to insulin resistance

    Författare :Yasmina Belarbi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : White adipose tissue (WAT) is a highly plastic organ which secretes a large number of peptide factors termed adipokines. Increased caloric intake increases WAT mass which results in marked alterations in the secretory pattern. This may be mediated via both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. LÄS MER
