1. The role of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript in endocrine cells
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Disturbed beta-cell function is the final culprit that leads to the development of T2D. In addition, impaired incretin effect is likely a part of the pathogenesis of T2D. LÄS MER
2. The role of CART in islet function
Sammanfattning : Diminished insulin secretion and dysregulated glucagon secretion are key features of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The overall aim of this thesis was to study the role of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) in islet cell function and how CART regulates glucose homeostasis. LÄS MER
3. Central and Peripheral Neuroendocrine Factors in Cancer-Associated Anorexia and Cachexia
Sammanfattning : Cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) develops in response to tumor-host biochemical interactions. A loss of appetite (anorexia) and increased metabolism results in a progressive wasting of adipose and skeletal muscle tissues (cachexia). LÄS MER
4. New actors in adipocyte function -Focusing on PDEs, CART and superantigen
Sammanfattning : Obesity is increasing rapidly in all parts of the world and is now considered to be a global epidemic. Obesity is a major risk factor for several health issues such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER
5. A MATTER OF NUTRIENT EXCESS AND SHEAR STRESS
Sammanfattning : The metabolic syndrome is a clustering of several risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is a global problem with 90% of patients suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is attributable to various factors including genetic predispositions and lifestyle. LÄS MER
