Abstract:

This thesis aims to highlight molecular mechanisms that have been altered by prenatal undernutrition and may be involved in the metabolic syndrome. Two separate studies were conducted both using a rat model developed through manipulation of the maternal diet to provoke the key features of the metabolic syndrome in adult offspring. Microarray technology was used to detect changes in gene expression in target tissues between offspring of control (normally fed, AD) and undernourished (UN) mothers to obtain a broader picture of the cellular functions and genetic pathways that may be implicated in

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death worldwide. The clustering of metabolic risk factors, defined as metabolic syndrome (MetS), and aging are two separate factors that significantly increase the risk of CVD. Both aging and MetS influence CVD by impairing heart tissue (myocardial) function. However, the exact understanding of mechanisms and evolution of these impairments are incomplete in MetS and aging populations. One of the most accessible and utilised techniques for assessing myocardial function is conventional transthoracic echocardiography, and more recently speck

Abstract:

Motivation: Cardiovascular dysfunction and hypertension are some of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the African population. According to the World Health Organisation the increases in these diseases are escalating in developing countries. Apart from the contributory role of genetics towards the incidence of hypertension, evidence regarding lifestyle as a determinant or marker of cardiovascular diseases in this group is not well known. The interaction of psychological and physiological mechanisms can contribute towards a broader scope of behavioural physiology in the higher pre

Abstract:

Williams-Beuren syndrome is a neurocognitive disorder with multisystemic manifestations of variable expressivity caused by a 1.55-1.83 Mb at chromosomal band 7q11.23. In this thesis project we have characterized the 7q11.23 deletion to refine the breakpoint location of the deletion, identify hospots and search for putative cis and trans-acting mechanisms involved. We have also characterized novel and previously reported metabolic alterations in a cohort of patients and explored its association with putative candidate genes using different mouse models and gene association analyses. Finally, we

Abstract:

Insulin resistance is an early marker of Type II diabetes. Excessive lipid accumulation in muscle and liver leads to insulin resistance, and lowering tissue lipids causes an enhancement of insulin action. The enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated when cellular energy levels are compromised, such as during exercise; this enhances fuel oxidation and inhibits energy consuming processes. The hypothesis in this thesis was that activating AMPK in a lipid-induced insulin resistant state leads to tissue lipid reduction and improved insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistant high-fat fed

L'HI induit une résistance à l'insuline à la fois systémique et tissulaire, ainsi qu'une amélioration de la tolérance au glucose associée à une activation de l'AMPK musculaire.

Thesis (PhD)-- Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: The cardioprotective actions of the hormone melatonin against myocardial ischaemiareperfusion injury (IRI) are well-established. It has recently been shown to prevent the harmful effects of hyperphagia-induced obesity on the susceptibility of the heart to IRI as well as many of the harmful effects of obesity and insulin resistance. However, the exact mechanism whereby it exerts its beneficial action is still unknown. The aims of this study were to determine the effects of relatively short-term melatonin tre

Abstract:

The use of highly active combination anti-retroviral therapy is associated with serious metabolic side effects including increased serum triglycerides, decreased HDL cholesterol as well as insulin resistance, peripheral fat loss and gain of abdominal visceral fat. There is concern that anti-retroviral therapy imposes a significant risk of heart disease in the HIV positive population. We hypothesize that development of dyslipidemia in response to anti-retroviral therapy is associated with the presence of specific genetic polymorphisms and may relate to changes in lipoprotein lipase and hepatic

Many recent epidemiological evidences have shown that MS is one of the possible factors for the development of LUTS. In the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted on men > 60 years, the risks of having LUTS increased significantly in men with ≥ 3 MS components when compared with their control counterparts (OR 1.80; 95% CI 1.11–2.94). Men with MS also had a higher growth rate

Abstract:

Protein wasting is a complication of glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. It causes substantial morbidity and there is no treatment. This thesis investigates the metabolic mechanisms underlying GC-induced protein wasting and the potential for anabolic hormones to reverse protein loss. The models of GC excess were Cushing's syndrome and GC therapy. Whole body protein metabolism was assessed using the leucine turnover technique and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to estimate lean body mass (LBM) and fat mass (FM). As previous studies demonstrated that LBM and FM influenced rates of
