16. Bone and fat tissue in children and adolescents: studies with focus on osteocalcin
Sammanfattning : The general AIM was to investigate the possible interplay between bone and fat tissue through clinical studies of children and adolescents. Osteocalcin (OC), a bone formation marker, has been proposed to act as a link between bone and energy metabolism in mice, but human data are inconclusive. LÄS MER
17. Muscle mass and function after total hip arthroplasty
Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a common disease among elderly causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Outcome studies have shown total hip arthroplasy (THA) to be a successful surgical procedure. Studies of muscle strength and function after THA are more scarce and results vary. LÄS MER
18. Skeletal muscle fiber types in man : With special reference to anabolic signaling and mitochondrial bioenergetics
Sammanfattning : Human skeletal muscle consists of a mixture of slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II) fibers. The type I fibers are endurance-oriented, with a metabolic system and infrastructure that supports aerobic metabolism. LÄS MER
19. Muscle Wasting in a Rat ICU Model : Underlying Mechanisms and Specific Intervention Strategies
Sammanfattning : Critical care has undergone several developments in the recent years leading to improved survival. However, acquired muscle weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an important complication that affects severely ill patients and can prolong their ICU stay. LÄS MER
20. Physical activity, muscle mass and physical function in older adults
Sammanfattning : Ageing is accompanied by a decline in physical function, including loss of muscle mass and muscle strength, which leads to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living and loss of independence. Physical activity (PA) is currently viewed as a key lifestyle factor with potential to mitigate these age-related deteriorations. LÄS MER
