  1. 6. 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

  3. 7. Adipose tissue, the skeleton and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Peder Wiklund; Peter Nordström; Anna Nordström; Mats Palmér; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Men; women; regional fat mass; bone mineral density; myocardial infarction; osteocalcin; high impact; longitudinal; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the Western World, although the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) has declined over the last decades. However, obesity, which is one of the most important risk factors for CVD, is increasingly common. Osteoporosis is also on the rise because of an aging population. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Adipose tissue inflammation and coagulation in humans

    Författare :Mattias Ekström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Adipose tissue (AT) is not only a store of energy but an endocrine organ with capacity to produce and release proinflammatory mediators into the circulation. Obesity is an inflammatory disease, with increased circulating levels of interleukin (IL)-6, due to synthesis in AT. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Investigating adipose tissue turnover in humans using radiocarbon dating

    Författare :Keng-Yeh Fu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity, defined as an excessive accumulation of body fat, is considered one of the major health challenges facing the world today. Adipocyte and lipid turnover determine the number and the size of fat cells, respectively. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Hormone-Sensitive Lipase - New roles in adipose tissue biology

    Författare :Kristoffer Ström; Molekylär endokrinologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; retinoid; adipogenesis; adipocyte determination; HSL; WAT;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health, and increased knowledge about the enzymes controlling lipid metabolism is of great importance in order to combat this disease. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in the mobilization of fatty acids from acylglycerols in adipocytes, but also plays important roles in other cell types. LÄS MER
