1. Aspects of Regulation of GFR and Tubular Function in the Diabetic Kidney : Roles of Adenosine, Nitric Oxide and Oxidative Stress
Sammanfattning : Diabetic nephropathy is the main cause for initiation of renal replacement therapy and early symptoms in patients include increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), decreased oxygen tension and albuminuria, followed by a progressive decline in GFR and loss of kidney function. Experimental models of diabetes display increased GFR, decreased tissue oxygenation and nitric oxide bioavailability. LÄS MER
2. Aspects of T cell development contributing to autoimmunity
Sammanfattning : Autoimmunity, such as type 1 diabetes (T1D), arises as a result of tolerance breakdown against host tissues, i.e. the β-cells. Central tolerance is established during thymic T cell development and defects in key events during this process could contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. LÄS MER
3. Magnesium and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome
Sammanfattning : Insulin resistance, defined as a state of reduced insulin-mediated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, and disorders such as obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, have been found to be associated in the conglomerate of the insulin resistance syndrome. Some antihypertensive drugs have been shown to decrease insulin sensitivity further. LÄS MER
4. Regulation of insulin signaling and its developmental and functional roles on peptidergic neurons in the Drosophila central nervous system
Sammanfattning : In Drosophila, eight insulin-like peptides (DILP1-8) are produced and secreted in different locations. They regulate many aspects of development and physiology, such as organism growth, metabolic homeostasis, reproduction, stress resistance and life span. LÄS MER
5. From the pancreatic beta cell to the endothelium:Pathophysiological aspects of Type 2 Diabetes
Sammanfattning : The incidence of Diabetes Mellitus increases globally in epidemic proportions. Type 2 Diabetes is the most prevalent form of Diabetes, comprising 90% of the patients. In Type 2 Diabetes, two processes contribute to the development of the disease: insufficient insulin secretion from the pancreatic ?-cell and insulin resistance of the target organs. LÄS MER
