1. Cardiac lipids and their role in the diseased heart
Sammanfattning : Lipids play an essential role within the heart as they are involved in energy storage, membrane stability and signaling. Changes in cardiac lipid composition and utilization may thus have profound effects on cardiac function. Importantly, the diseased heart is associated with intracellular metabolic abnormalities, including accumulation of lipids. LÄS MER
2. Cardiac lipid storage and metabolism following myocardial ischemia
Sammanfattning : Myocardial ischemia is associated with cellular- and metabolic adjustments within the heart, including accumulation of lipids. Myocardial lipids are stored in cytosolic droplets, consisting of a core of neutral lipids surrounded by a complex surface containing proteins, such as perilipins. LÄS MER
3. Characterisation of autophagy pathways in atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of large to intermediate-sized arteries, characterised by retention of modified low-density lipoprotein within the vessel wall; this evokes an inflammatory response. Low-density lipoprotein carries lipids such as fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol, from the liver to peripheral tissues. LÄS MER
4. Engineering Lipid Metabolism for Production of Oleochemicals in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sammanfattning : Oleochemicals are chemicals usually derived from plant oils or animal fat. Large use of plant oil derivatives as replacements for petroleum-derived chemicals brings sustainability issues from extensive cultivation of oil plants in restricted regions. LÄS MER
