  1. 21. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Human Brown Adipose Tissue : Methodological Development and Application

    Författare :Elin Lundström; Joel Kullberg; Håkan Ahlström; Lars Johansson; Robin Strand; Sven Månsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brown adipose tissue; Magnetic resonance imaging; Positron emission tomography; Image segmentation; Glucose metabolism;

    Sammanfattning : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ with the main human depot located in the cervical-supraclavicular (sBAT) region. BAT is proposed as a potential therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Genome editing of oilseed species by CRISPR/Cas9 for trait improvement

    Författare :Sjur Sandgrind; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The demand for vegetable oils for food and other applications is rapidly increasing due to a growing population and an urgent need to replace fossil oils. Furthermore, there are several challenges facing agricultural production, such as a shortage of arable land, climate change, and water pollution due to nutrient leaching from extensive use of fertilizers and tillage.

  4. 23. Experimental studies on the mechanisms and treatments of chronic pain

    Författare :Tianle Gao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Sinomenine;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic pain is a major concern for physical and mental health of a large patient population today while casting a significant economical burden on society. Work presented in this thesis deal with aspects of mechanisms and treatments of chronic pain using experimental models. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Thermal physiology and metabolism : Interplay between heat generation and energy homeostasis

    Författare :Gustavo Abreu-Vieira; Jan Nedergaard; Eric Ravussin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : Mammal metabolism is intimately connected to the maintenance of body temperature. While metabolic pathways invariably produce heat as a by-product, the natural heat present in the environment also plays a role in defining the adaptive metabolism and general physiology of an organism.

  7. 25. Adaptation of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) to current and future climatic conditions

    Författare :Jenny Lundströmer; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change urges our understanding of the capacity of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) population to adapt and maintain, and even increase, their growth capacity at the level required to sustain a transition towards a biobased socioeconomic model. Climate change is already anticipated to result in an increase of temperature. LÄS MER
