11. Insulin signaling and glucose transport in insulin resistant human skeletal muscle
Sammanfattning : Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is a hallmark feature of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate downstream intermediates in the insulin signaling pathway in an attempt to characterize the molecular mechanism of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes.

12. Myosin 1c taking adrenergic metabolism for a spin : More than a motor protein
Sammanfattning : Metabolic diseases like type II diabetes (T2D) and obesity largely stems from an unbalanced energy homeostasis with the fails of the insulin pathway to the point in which the glucose homeostasis is severely disturbed leading to hyperglycemia. We have investigated if the β-adrenergic signaling pathways, in both brown adipose tissue (BAT) and skeletal muscle, could be used as a strategy to alleviate metabolic disease. LÄS MER
13. Role of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) in vascular smooth muscle
Sammanfattning : The calcium-dependent transcription factor NFAT was first described as a key player in immune cell regulation. Since then, NFAT signaling has been shown to be crucial for normal vascular development during embryogenesis. LÄS MER
14. Cell signaling: a systems approach
Sammanfattning : All higher functions of the cell are dependent on cell signaling. It is the way of the cell to obtain information about the world surrounding it. By getting information on e.g. LÄS MER
15. C. elegans PAQR-2 ‒ A Regulator of Membrane Homeostasis
Sammanfattning : The progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) protein family is characterized by a 7-transmembrane domain, and a topology reversed that of G-protein coupled receptors, i.e. the N-terminus resides in the cytoplasm. LÄS MER
