    Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes is caused by defect pancreatic islet β-cells together with peripheral insulin resistance. The disease is often accompanied by obesity with associated low-grade visceral adipose tissue inflammation, which contributes to insulin resistance. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Polycystic ovary syndrome – Studies of metabolic and ovarian disturbances and effects of physical exercise and electro-acupuncture

    Författare :Louise Mannerås Holm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :adipocyte size; adipose tissue; androgen excess; animal models; body composition; electro-acupuncture; insulin resistance; ovary; physical exercise; polycystic ovary syndrome;

    Sammanfattning : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine abnormality in premenopausal women. The syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and polycystic ovarian (PCO) morphology. Metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance and obesity, are also associated with PCOS. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Protein and mRNA Studies of Rat FA1/Pref-1/dlk

    Författare :Gabriella Persdotter Hedlund; Jann Hau; Carina Carlsson; Torgny Stigbrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Laboratory animals; Preadipocyte factor 1; delta like protein; Fetal antigen 1; Goto-Kakizaki; Zucker; adipokines; adipose tissue; diabetes; obesity; Försöksdjursvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The timing of cell differentiation is important for development and renewal of well functioning organs and tissues. One protein involved in this process is Preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref-1). Most likely, the role of this protein is to maintain cells in an undifferentiated state. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Gene expression patterns in human adipose tissue in relation to fat mass and adipose depot

    Författare :Kristina Linder Ekberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity, especially excess amount of abdominal fat, predisposes to a high risk for cardiovascular disease. Cancer cachexia is characterized by a specific loss of white adipose tissue (WAT) and skeletal muscle mass, and is associated with decreased survival and poor response to chemotherapy. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Clinical and Biological Factors Related to Survival in Patients with Rectal Cancer

    Författare :Angeliki Kotti; Xiao-Feng Sun; Annica Holmqvist; Marie-Louise Lydrup; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Age; Radiotherapy; Rectal cancer; Skeletal muscle; SPARCL1; Statins; Survival; Visceral adipose tissue;

    Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is a common malignancy within the gastrointestinal tract. Despite the advances in diagnosis and treatment of rectal cancer patients during the last decades, there are still many patients who die from their disease. LÄS MER
