Birth centre care : reproduction and infant health
(2004-04-02)
This thesis has two general aims, to investigate factors affecting
women s decision to have a second baby and to study the effect of birth
centre care on infant outcome. The specific aims were to investigate 1)
whether ...
Deciphering the complexity of biological systems using machine learning applied to big data
(2021-10-01)
With the rising of the omics era and the recent technological advancements in biology and medicine, the generated data is growing exponentially. Increasing the volume of the data in parallel to complexity and heterogeneity ...
Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in skeletal muscle during and after contraction
(2006-11-03)
It is well known that exercise increases glucose transport into skeletal muscles. The regulation of this transport, however, is poorly understood. An increased understanding of the mechanisms underlying glucose transport ...
Molecular mechanisms governing contraction-induced metabolic responses and skeletal muscle reprogramming
(2007-11-23)
Physical exercise enhances skeletal muscle responsiveness to insulin and
regulates metabolism by an insulin-independent mechanism. Elucidation of
contraction-mediated molecular mechanisms is imperative for a better
understanding ...
Novel pharmaceutical approaches to regulate glucose homeostasis
(2010-01-13)
The Western sedentary life-style and calorie excess is causing an increased incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes. When untreated, these diseases are associated with heart- and vascular disease, stroke, cancer, neuropathic ...
Skeletal muscle metabolic flexibility : the roles of AMP-activated protein kinase and calcineurin
(2007-03-23)
Skeletal muscle fibers differ considerably in their metabolic and
physiological properties. The metabolic properties of skeletal muscle
display a high degree of flexibility which adapts to various
physiological demands ...
