Body fat regulating neuropeptides: relation to interleukines and gut microbiota
(2012-05-25)
Previous studies have shown that mice lacking interleukin-6 (IL-6), an important cytokine in the immune system, develop obesity, and that central, but not peripheral, administration of IL-6 induces energy expenditure. These ...
Gene expression in human adipose tissue. Studies of leptin and genes selected by expression profiling
(2002)
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 ...

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy. A large proportion of patients present with the risk factors high age and obesity, which puts them at increased risk when undergoing surgery. The last ...
Aspects on the functional characteristics of the Roux-limb after Gastric Bypass surgery
(2017-11-10)
Background: Bariatric surgery, and particularly the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP) procedure, has highlighted the central role of the gastrointestinal tract in the regulation of body weight and metabolism. The Roux-limb ...
Ghrelin in the regulation of feeding and energy balance
(2007)
Ghrelin, the first identified endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1A, is a 28 amino acid peptide produced mainly by the stomach. Pharmacological studies indicate a role for ghrelin in the ...
Cytokines in Metabolic Functions
(2008-02-28)
During infections, circulating cytokines are largely produced by immune cells. In healthy obese individuals, large parts of these circulating cytokines are produced in adipose tissue, for instance by macrophages that have ...
