11. The regulatory role of microRNA in human adipocytes and their link to insulin resistance
Sammanfattning : White adipose tissue (WAT) is a highly plastic organ which secretes a large number of peptide factors termed adipokines. Increased caloric intake increases WAT mass which results in marked alterations in the secretory pattern. This may be mediated via both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. LÄS MER
12. Role of Cell-cell Interactions and Palmitate on β-cells Function
Sammanfattning : The islets of Langerhans secrets insulin in response to fluctuations of blood glucose level and efficient secretion requires extensive intra-islet communication. Secretory failure from islets is one of the hallmark in progression of type 2 diabetes. LÄS MER
13. Molecular Genetic Studies on Prostate and Penile Cancer
Sammanfattning : This thesis is comprised of two parts. In the first part we study the influence of four frequently disputed genes on the susceptibility for developing prostate cancer, and in the second part we attempt to establish a basic understanding of the molecular genetic events in penile cancer.
