1. Adipose Tissue Heterogeneity - Development and Application of Nonlinear Microscopy Methods
Sammanfattning : Although the negative health impacts of obesity have been well documented, the number of overweight or obese patients has and is predicted to continue rising. One of the causal factors of obesity is a constant positive energy balance mainly from excessively high caloric intake from food compared with limited physical activity (caloric expenditure). LÄS MER
2. Who is Who in the Adipose Organ : A look at the Heterogeneity of Adipocyte Biology
Sammanfattning : The increasing prevalence of obesity and related health complications, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, demands thorough investigation of the underlying processes. One of the key tissues investigated in this context is adipose tissue. LÄS MER
3. Metabolic and endocrine function of human adipose tissue with focus on regional differences
Sammanfattning : The major function of human adipose tissue is to store excess ingested energy and to release free fatty acids after hydrolysis of triglycerides (lipolysis), to meet the energy demands of other organs. Adipose tissue also has a secretory function. LÄS MER
4. Mitochondrial form and function in pancreatic β-cells and brown adipocytes
Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on the role of mitochondria in pancreatic β-cells and brown adipose tissue (BAT). Two main aspects of mitochondria were explored; mitochondrial functional efficiency and the interrelationship between mitochondrial shape and function. LÄS MER
5. The role of innate immunity in obesity-induced tissue inflammation
Sammanfattning : The prevalence of obesity is rapidly increasing globally, which causes an increase in associated diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In addition to the detrimental effect of obesity on several organs such as the liver and adipose tissue, obesity also has a profound effect on the immune system. LÄS MER
