1. 1. Effects of cytokines on preadipocyte differentiation and Wnt signalling

   Författare :Birgit Gustafson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :adipocyte differentiation; adiponectin; beta-Catenin; C EBPalpha; IL-6; PPARgamma; TNFalpha; Wnt signalling;

   Sammanfattning : The relationship between amount of adipose tissue, the Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 diabetes has been recognized for several years. However, the mechanisms for this remain to be clarified. Not all obese individuals develop insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes and these perturbations are also seen in non-obese individuals.

3. 2. Pharmacological and genetic manipulation of adipose cell differentiation and metabolism

   Författare :Milica Vranic; Maria J. Pereira; Jan Eriksson; Niklas Mejhert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipose tissue; adipocyte; type 2 diabetes; CRISP Cas9; FKBP51; CDKN2C; second-generation antipsychotics; glucocorticoids; dopamine; dopamine receptor;

   Sammanfattning : Adipose tissue dysfunction has a pivotal role in the development of obesity and related metabolic complications, such as insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. The overall aim was to study the consequences of adipose exposure to pharmacological agents, as well as dysregulations in the expression of genes, potentially involved in adipose tissue dysfunction and related metabolic impairments.

4. 3. A long and winding road: Differentiating human embryonic stem cells into dopaminergic neurons

   Författare :Oktar Guloglu; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipocyte; PA6; DZNEP; dopaminergic differentiation; embryonic stem cells;

   Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Since the motor manifestations of the disease is associated with the loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, cell replacement therapy is a promising approach for treatment.

5. 4. Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase 3B: Regulation in rat adipocytes and 3T3-L1 cells

   Författare :Tova Landström; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 3T3-L1 TNF-alpha; adipocyte; insulin; p70S6 kinase; mitogen-activated protein kinase; protein kinase B; phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase; phosphodiesterase 3B; cAMP; lipolysis; phosphorylation; signal transduction; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism;

   Sammanfattning : Insulin stimulation of rat adipocytes results in phosphorylation and activation of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), a key enzyme in the antilipolytic signalling pathway of this hormone. In this thesis, the site phosphorylated in PDE3B upon stimulation of rat adipocytes with insulin and/or the beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol is identified. LÄS MER

7. 5. Fibroblast Differentiation and Models of Human Skin

   Författare :Jonathan Rakar; Gunnar Kratz; Ingemar Rundquist; Anders Lindahl; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis combines three publications and one manuscript, covering two principal topics: functional differentiation of human fibroblasts and laboratory models of human skin. The two topics favourably unite in the realm of tissue engineering. This thesis is therefore split into three main parts: 1. LÄS MER
