1. Gene expression in human adipose tissue. Studies of leptin and genes selected by expression profiling
Sammanfattning : Obesity, and in particular the amount of visceral adipose tissue, is correlated to development of type 2diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this thesis was to study genes expressed in humanadipose tissue that could be involved in regional adipose tissue homeostasis and/or obesity-associateddisease. LÄS MER
2. Novel endocrine aspects of human adipose tissue
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Receptor-operated signaling pathways in normal and diabetic pancreatic islet cell function
Sammanfattning : Loss of glucose-dependent insulin release is an early pathogenetic event in human type 2 diabetes. Impaired glucose-mediated insulin secretion from pancreatic islet β-cells leads to insulin deficiency and thus hyperglycemia. LÄS MER
4. Prevention of beta-cell dysfunction via targeting novel GPCRs in pancreatic islets
Sammanfattning : The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in insulin secretion and beta-cell survival. The second aim was to determine which pathway is involved in insulin release and beta-cell protection via GPCRs. LÄS MER
5. The Synthesis and Use of Certain Pyridine Derivatives as Modulators of the G-protein Coupled Receptors mGlu5 and P2Y12
Sammanfattning : The glutamatergic mGlu5 receptor and the purinergic P2Y12 receptor are two important targets in the development of novel treatments of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and thrombosis, respectively. Synthesis was developed to investigate the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a novel series of 2-alkynylpyridine derivatives as mGluR5 antagonists. LÄS MER
