The hypertension-prone man: A study on the pathogenesis of hypertension with regard to insulin sensitivity

Popular Abstract in Swedish Man har länge känt till att högt blodtryck {hypertoni}, bukfetma och sockersjuka {ålders diabetes} existerar samtidigt hos en och samma individ. Under de senaste decennierna har forskare försökt att hitta en gemensam mekanism till dessa tillstånd. Framför allt de senaste åren har man riktat uppmärksamheten mot det fett- och sockerreglerande hormonet insulin som tycks vaHypertensive individuals, even non-obese, have been shown to be resistant to the insulin-mediated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues {mainly skeletal muscle}. The aim of this study was to investigate hypothetical pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of hypertension with regard to insulin sensitivity in normotensive men with a family history of hypertension (RELs) as compared to men

Model Based Optimization of a Complete Diesel Engine/SCR System

Achieving upcoming emissions legislation (Euro VI) for heavy trucks is a serious challenge for the manufacturers. Apart from the increasingly strict limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate emissions (PM), the limited amount of fossil fuels as well as alarming climate changes simultaneously drives the demand for low CO2 emissions. A likely solution to meet upcoming NOx limits is to use a co
