1. Med risk för diabetes- studier av symtom, självskattad hälsa och erfarenhet av att leva med prediabetes
Sammanfattning : Background: Individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) have a high risk of developing both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease. T2DM is a common chronic disease in a global perspective, and it is estimated to continue to grow, which is a serious health problem. LÄS MER
2. Characterization of Impaired Glucose Tolerance - Insulin Sensitivity, Islet Function and Metabolic Risk Factors
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a three-year prospective study on metabolic characteristics of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and the regulation of insulin sensitivity versus islet function in relation to changes in glucose tolerance. 108 non-diabetic women aged 57-58 years were randomly selected from a population of women born in 1935 with a high prevalence of IGT.

3. Exercise capacity with special reference to type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Physical inactivity and obesity is a growing health problem world wide. Three different samples with a wide range of glucose tolerance were included in the thesis to represent a wider population. The exercise capacity was studied in one group of healthy sedentary middle aged men with normal glucose tolerance in study I and II. LÄS MER
4. 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.

5. Healthy Satiety Effects of Paleolithic diet on Satiety and Risk factors for Cardiovascular disease
Sammanfattning : The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) exhibits considerable variation across agrarian societies, whereas they are virtually absent in non-agrarian societies such as hunter-gatherer and horticultural societies. When looking for lifestyle factors which could promote CVD, it therefore seems logical to focus on the agrarian lifestyle and ways in which it departs from a non-agrarian lifestyle. LÄS MER
