  1. 1. Angiogenesis modulates obesity and insulin sensitivity

    Författare :Jennifer Honek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Both white and brown fat are highly vascularized tissues and vascular functions in adipose tissues remain largely unknown. In this thesis work, we aimed to study blood vessels in modulation of adipose tissue functions under physiological conditions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Maternal obesity surgery : effects in women, spouses and offspring

    Författare :Daniel Berglind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Bariatric surgery is an important treatment for the worldwide increasing epidemic of obesity. However, the effects of such surgery on offspring epigenetic profile and effects on objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behavior in women undergoing bariatric surgery and family members are essentially unknown.

  4. 3. Significance of adipose tissue characteristics for development of metabolic complications in obesity

    Författare :Daniel P Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Obesity is closely related to development of insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Intrinsic properties of adipose tissue are also of great importance for obesity related comorbidity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Family-related obesity risk factors and dietary behaviours in high-risk populations : associations with child weight development

    Författare :Viktoria Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Obesity rates in Swedish children are currently not increasing, however socioeconomic disparities are widening. Many children become obese as early as their preschool years. Hereditary and environmental family-related risk factors are the dominating determinants of child obesity, with parental obesity as the most important. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Role of immune mediators in metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis

    Författare :Daniela Strodthoff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is increasingly becoming a problem worldwide. Both location and metabolic activity of visceral and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) differ. Visceral fat is highly vascularized resulting in increased blood supply and increased infiltration of inflammatory immune cells such as macrophages, T cells and even B cells. LÄS MER
