Endogenous regulation of brown adipose tissue in humans
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-11-09)
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a functional and metabolically active tissue found in humans. Instead of storing energy like white adipose tissue (WAT), BAT dissipates energy in the form of heat in a process called thermogenesis. ...
Splanchnic Metabolism and Blood Flow In Man. PET Studies with Reference to Obesity and Diabetes
(Turun yliopisto, 2016-12-16)
Splanchnic region comprises the interaction of multiple organs, hormones and neural factors and is a critical regulator of glucose homeostasis during both postabsorptive and absorptive states. While ...
Sleep-time predictors of cardiovascular complications in surgical peripheral arterial disease
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-06-14)
ABSTRACT
Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) undergoing surgical revascularisation are in high risk of postoperative cardiovascular complications and death, due to advancing age and multiple comorbidities ...
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. ...
Regulators of central and peripheral insulin sensitivity in humans
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-08-21)
Insulin, secreted by pancreatic β-cells, has a preeminent role in regulating metabolism in virtually all tissues. Highly conserved through evolution, intracellular insulin signaling pathways are tightly regulated, but have ...

The cornerstone of the treatment of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is intensive, clinical remission targeted treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The aim of the present study was to elucidate ...
Thyroid-stimulating hormone : reference range and relation to cardiovascular risk
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-01-05)
Thyroid dysfunctions, especially subclinical forms, are common and could be related to an elevated cardiovascular risk. Previous data on the associations of thyroid function with cardiovascular disease entities and their ...
Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular health : the cardiovascular risk in young Finns study
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-01-19)
Background: High physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness may protect from the development of cardiometabolic disease outcomes but the mechanisms involved are not fully understood.
Aims: The aims of this study ...
Metabolic effects of the gastrointestinal hormone secretin with focus on brown adipose tissue
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-08-13)
In recent years, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been of interest in metabolic research, because its activity is associated with reduced cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance and obesity. Since cardiovascular disease ...
Early life predictors of cardiovascular health in an Australian Aboriginal cohort: The Aboriginal birth cohort study
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-03-11)
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. In Australia, the Aboriginal population is particularly affected. This is manifested as a significantly lower life expectancy compared to ...
