The Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Adipose Tissue Energy Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-01-25)
Obesity-related metabolic disturbances typically occur when the available energy exceeds the storage capacity of white adipose tissue (WAT), which can lead to ectopic lipid deposition, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. ...
Exercise training-induced effects on brown and white adipose tissue metabolism in humans : positron emission tomography studies in health and insulin resistance
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-05-31)
White adipose tissue (WAT) not only serves as a passive energy storage but also has an endocrine role releasing hormones that play a major role in the regulation of whole-body glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. ...

Intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate neurocritical care. A ruptured aneurysm must be isolated from arterial circulation to prevent rebleeding. Open ...
Home blood pressure variability − assessment and clinical significance
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-12-19)
Blood pressure (BP) variability is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular adverse events over and beyond the BP level. The clinical significance of BP variability has been extensively studied in the past few decades. ...
