  1. 41. Angiogenesis in obesity and cancer

    Författare :Ebba Bråkenhielm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Adiponectin; endothelial cells; Leptin; Resveratrol; TNP-470;

    Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is the process of blood vessel growth from pre-existing vasculatures. In the adult, it is involved in certain physiological processes, such as in organ and tissue regeneration, wound healing, and in female reproductive cycles. LÄS MER

  3. 42. Studies on fat cell function in human obesity and insulin resistance

    Författare :Patrik Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Fat cell; lipolysis; lipogenesis; leptin; obesity; perilipin; polymorphism; post-obese; TNF-alpha; weightreduction.;

    Sammanfattning : Enlarged fat cells, due to excess tri-glyceride (TG) stores with increased basal lipolysis (TG breakdown) and blunted action of the major regulatory hormones of fat cell metabolism (catecholamines and insulin) are hallmarks of common obesity in humans. It is, however, not known whether these aberrations are caused by obesity per se or is a consequence of obesity. LÄS MER

  4. 43. Brain control of energy balance : localization and regulation of proteins involved in the central control of food intake and body weight

    Författare :Maria Collin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :AGRP; arcuate nucleus; brainstem; CART; GABA; Glutamate; GPCR; habenular complex; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; hypothalamus; leptin; leptin receptor; LHA; MCH; NPY; Ob-Rb; POMC; serotonin; STAT3; transporter; ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus; VGLUT1-3.;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity has become a worldwide threat to human well-being and is now so common that it is beginning to replace undernutrition and infectious disease as the most significant contributor to ill health. Obesity increases the risk for aquiring serious diseases such as diabetes type 2, hypertension, coronary heart disease and certain forms of cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 44. Diabetes and puberty : studies on hormonal factors of importance to the blood glucose control

    Författare :Ingmar Zachrisson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Type 1 diabetes; Puberty; Adolescence; Metabolic Control; IGF-I; IGFBP-1; IGFBP-3; Proteases; Leptin;

    Sammanfattning : It is well known that, in children with type 1 diabetes, metabolic control often deteriorates during puberty. Better understanding of the mechanisms that cause deterioration of blood glucose control can lead to improved therapeutic approaches. LÄS MER

  7. 45. Hypothalamic neuronal circuits involved in the regulation of food intake and body weight : histochemical studies in lean rats and obese mutant mice

    Författare :Matilda Bäckberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :AGRP; arcuate nucleus; BBB; CART; GABA; GABA receptors; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; hypothalamus; LHA; leptin; MCH; NPY; orexin; POMC; tubby;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is a major health problem because of its dramatic increase in prevalence and its association with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart diseases, hypertension and stroke. It is well known that signals generated in response to feeding behavior are integrated in the brain. LÄS MER
