      Jersin, Regine Åsen; Tallapragada, Divya Sri; Skartveit, Linn; Bjune, Mona Synnøve; Muniandy, Maheswary; Lee-Ødegård, Sindre; Heinonen, Sini; Alvarez, Marcus; Birkeland, Kåre Inge; Drevon, Christian André; Pajukanta, Päivi; McCann, Adrian; Pietiläinen, Kirsi H.; Claussnitzer, Melina; Mellgren, Gunnar; Dankel, Simon N (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Context The neutral amino acid transporter SLC7A10/ASC-1 is an adipocyte-expressed gene with reduced expression in insulin resistance and obesity. Inhibition of SLC7A10 in adipocytes was shown to increase lipid accumulation ...
    • Metabolic and Epigenetic Regulation by Estrogen in Adipocytes 

      Bjune, Jan-Inge; Strømland, Pouda Panahandeh; Jersin, Regine Åsen; Mellgren, Gunnar; Dankel, Simon N (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-22)
      Sex hormones contribute to differences between males and females in body fat distribution and associated disease risk. Higher concentrations of estrogens are associated with a more gynoid body shape and with more fat storage ...
    • The neutral amino acid transporter SLC7A10 in adipose tissue, obesity and insulin resistance 

      Jersin, Regine Åsen; Jonassen, Laura Roxana; Dankel, Simon N (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes represent major global health challenges, and a better mechanistic understanding of the altered metabolism in these conditions may give improved treatment strategies. SLC7A10, ...
    • Role of Adipocyte SLC7A10 and Amino Acid Metabolism in Obesity and Insulin Resistance 

      Jersin, Regine Åsen (Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-18)
      Obesity is a rising global concern, associated with increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Chronic availability of excess nutrients may promote adipocyte dysfunction, ...
    • Role of the Neutral Amino Acid Transporter SLC7A10 in Adipocyte Lipid Storage, Obesity and Insulin Resistance
