  1. 1. cAMP-Regulated Cell Proliferation in Brown Preadipocytes

    Författare :Yanling Wang; Jan Nedergaard; Maria Jesus Obregon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : As a prototypical second messenger, cAMP is involved in the regulation of multiple cell functions. cAMP has a well established inhibitory effect on cell proliferation in smooth muscle and epithelial cell types. However, there is accumulating evidence also for stimulatory effect on proliferation, mainly in endocrine cell types. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Metabolic and endocrine function of human adipose tissue with focus on regional differences

    Författare :Vanessa van Harmelen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :acylation stimulating protein; adipocytes; adipose tissue heterogeneity; adrenoceptors; insulin; leptin; lipogenesis; lipolysis; noradrenaline; plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; preadipocytes; tumour necrosis factor-cc;

    Sammanfattning : The major function of human adipose tissue is to store excess ingested energy and to release free fatty acids after hydrolysis of triglycerides (lipolysis), to meet the energy demands of other organs. Adipose tissue also has a secretory function. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Interaction between insulin and IGF-I receptors in insulin sensitive and insulin resistant cells and tissues

    Författare :Karolina Bäck; Hans Arnqvist; Hans Tornqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) are two related peptides with similar structure. They mediate their effects by binding to their respective receptor, the insulin receptor (IR) and the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) and induce intracellular signalling cascades resulting in metabolic or mitogenic effects.

  5. 4. In vitro and in vivo studies of tissue engineering in reconstructive plastic surgery

    Författare :Fredrik R.M. Huss; Gunnar Kratz; Elof Eriksson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tissue engineering; plastic surgery; guided tissue regeneration; Plastic surgery; Plastikkirurgi; Plastikkirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : To correct, improve, and maintain tissues, and their functions, are common denominators in tissue engineering and reconstructive plastic surgery. This can be achieved by using autolo-gous tissues as in flaps or transplants. However, often autologous tissue is not useable. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Adipose and muscle tissue metabolism in cancer cachexia

    Författare :Thorhallur Agustsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Loss of adipose and muscle tissue mass is a key feature of cancer cachexia. Weight loss, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance are seen in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). LÄS MER
