  1. 1. Muscle Morphology and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome : A Population-Based Study of 70 Year-Old-Men in Uppsala

    Författare :Anu Hedman; Stevo Julius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Muscle morphology; fiber distribution; capillary density; insulin resistance syndrome; physical activity; hypertension; insulin-mediated blood flow; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Sammanfattning : Skeletal muscle accounts for the largest part of insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Insulin resistance (IR) is the main component of insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) and is an essential cause of a number of cardiovascular risk factors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Energy Metabolic Stress Syndrome : Impact of Physical Activity of Different Intensity and Duration

    Författare :Stefan Branth; Leif Hambraeus; Gunnar Ronquist; Mats Stridsberg; Lennart Kaijser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; energy; ATP; metabolism; nutrition; body-composition; physical-activity; stress; insulin-resistance; ion-pumps; intracellular swelling and -shrinkage; taurine; reactive oxygen species; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : All living cell functions require an ongoing supply of energy derived from carbohydrates, lipids and proteins with their own pathways of breakdown. All of them end up in the oxidation of reduced coenzymes, yielding chemically-bound energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome

    Författare :Liisa Byberg; Anders Hamsten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; PAI-1; insulin sensitivity; physical activity; birth weight; fatty acids; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, different aspects of the insulin resistance syndrome in relation to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity are investigated in a longitudinal population-based study. Participants were men investigated at ages 50 and 70 with follow-up data on mortality. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Insulin resistance in pancreatic cancer

    Författare :Bengt Isaksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Pancreatic cancer; glucose transport; glucose metabolism; insulin signaling; insulin resistance; uncoupling proteins; obstructive jaundice; IAPP; risk factors.;

    Sammanfattning : The dismal prognosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) is related to metabolic complications of the tumor. Impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes due to insulin resistance, and cachexia are observed early and frequently in these patients. The basic mechanisms of PC-associated insulin resistance and weight loss are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Common risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction: Population-based studies with a focus on gender differences

    Författare :Charlotte A Larsson; Samhällsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cortisol; insulin resistance; abdominal obesity; hypertension; type 2 diabetes; population-based; AMI; gender differences; physical activity; left ventricular hypertrophy;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore how the risk for AMI, and the associations between several of its risk factors, differs by gender. Information was collected from four Swedish cohorts: one patient cohort from Skara (1992-1993, n=1149) and three population-based cohorts, i.e. LÄS MER
