Microarray analysis of gene expression in human adipocytes and adipose tissue
(2008-02-21)
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and is associated with several serious conditions such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. Adipose tissue exerts important endocrine ...
Molecular mechanisms in obesity-associated metabolic disease
(2007-07-12)
Obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Subjects with obesity are at risk of developing several serious conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. This thesis ...
Adipose tissue-derived serum amyloid A and adipose tissue macrophages in metabolic disease
(2013-11-29)
Obesity is associated with a low-grade chronic inflammation with increased levels of proinflammatory markers in the circulation and local inflammation in the adipose tissue. In this thesis, two aspects of obesity-related ...
Human adipose tissue. Genes predominantly expressed in the visceral depot and in hypertrophic adipocytes
(2006)
The obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide and obesity is closely linked to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Both visceral fat accumulation and enlarged adipocyte size are risk factors for obesity related ...
