1. 16. Quantitation of gluconeogenesis in humans

   Författare :Karin Ekberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Gluconeogenesis; mass isotopomer distribution analysis; deuteratedwater; hexamethylenetetramine; splanchnic and renal glucose production;

   Sammanfattning : Several methods have been introduced for estimating gluconeogenesis, but none provides a direct measurement without assumptions that condition the accuracy of the estimate. The aim of this work has been to develop a new method for quantitative studies of gluconeogenesis, applicable in humans. LÄS MER

3. 17. Online health promoting communities : Design, implementation and formative evaluation of an intervention

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : In Sweden, obesity among children has not yet reached the epidemic proportions reported from other parts of the world. However, among adolescents, being overweight and self-consciousness regarding body shape, diet and exercise influence social, psychological and physical health. LÄS MER

4. 18. Auxological tools for following growth in extreme short stature and for evaluating growth promoting interventions

   Författare :Andrea Merker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Growth charts are inevitable tools for following children in clinical practice and also when evaluating growth promoting therapy. Growth is a concern especially for families to children of extreme short stature such as in skeletal dysplasias but evaluations of growth pattern with changes in height position is complicated when height develops far below normal population range.

5. 19. Sex differences in cancer risk and survival

   Författare :Cecilia Radkiewicz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: The objective of study I was to delineate and quantify sex differences in cancer risk and survival together with assessing the potential gain achieved by eliminating the excess cancer risk in men. Study II and III aimed to in detail characterize the superior non-small cell lung cancer survival and the inferior urinary bladder cancer survival, in women, with the underlying objective to identify underlying drivers to these two phenomena.

7. 20. Pancreatic beta-cell insulin signaling in genetic and dietary models of obesity and insulin resistance

   Författare :Meike Paschen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels that has reached pandemic proportions. Genome-wide association studies have linked T2DM to the function of the insulin-producing pancreatic βcell residing in the micro-organ islet of Langerhans. LÄS MER
