Although&lt;br/&gt;adipose tissue has a central role in some of these pathologies, including obesity and diabetes,&lt;br/&gt;there is a lack of information about the effects of procyanidins on this tissue. This thesis&lt;br/&gt;addresses this question. The effects of a grape seed procyanidin extract (GSPE) on the lipid&lt;br/&gt;and glucose metabolism of adipocytes were evaluated by taking the 3T3-L1 cell line as a&lt;br/&gt;model of study. Results show that the GSPE has insulinomimetic effects, stimulating glucose&lt;br/&gt;uptake, glycogen synthesis and trigliceride synthesis. To achieve this, the GSPE shares some&lt;br/&gt;of the mechanisms and intracellular mediators of the insulin-signalling pathways (such as&lt;br/&gt;GLUT-4 translocation, PI3K and p38 MAPK) but it must also use other, complementary,&lt;br/&gt;mechanisms. These results suggest that procyanidins have beneficial effects on diabetes&lt;br/&gt;and/or insulin resistance. This is partially proven by in vivo studies that show that GSPE has&lt;br/&gt;antihyperglycemic properties on streptozotozin-induced diabetic rats. Also analyzed in this&lt;br/&gt;thesis are the molecular mechanisms used by GSPE to explain the already described lipolytic&lt;br/&gt;effects. Protein kinase A and PPARã are shown to be involved in these effects. Some of&lt;br/&gt;these results opened up another line of study into the effects of GSPE on the differentiation&lt;br/&gt;process of the 3T3-L1. These studies showed that procyanidins alter the differentiation of&lt;br/&gt;preadipocytes when added at the induction of differentiation. Since an increase in the&lt;br/&gt;number of adipocytes has a negative effect on obesity, this is a promising characteristic of&lt;br/&gt;GSPE that should be taken into account when its possible antiobesity properties are studied.</dcterms:abstract><dcterms:abstract xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://purl.org/dc/terms/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dcterms.xsd http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dc.xsd" xml:lang="cat">Als flavonoides, i més concretament a les procianidines del vi negre, se'ls han atribuït moltes&lt;br/&gt;propietats beneficioses contra diverses patologies, com les malalties cardiovasculars i altres&lt;br/&gt;patologies relacionades. Tot i que el teixit adipós juga un paper important en algunes&lt;br/&gt;d'aquestes patologies, com la obesitat i la diabetis, la informació referent l'acció de les&lt;br/&gt;procianidines en aquest teixit és escassa. Aquesta tesis estudia els efectes de les procianidines&lt;br/&gt;derivades de pinyol de raïm (GSPE) en l'adipòcit, i per a dur-ho a terme es pren com a&lt;br/&gt;model d'estudi la línia cel.lular 3T3-L1. Per una banda es descriuen els efectes del GSPE en&lt;br/&gt;el metabolisme de lípids i glúcids de la cèl.lula adiposa. El GSPE fa un paper&lt;br/&gt;insulinomimètic: estimula la captació de glucosa, la síntesi de glicògen i la síntesi de triacil&lt;br/&gt;glicerols. L'anàlisi dels mecanismes moleculars per exercir aquests efectes mostra que GSPE&lt;br/&gt;en part comparteix mecanismes i vies de senyalització propis de la insulina (translocació de&lt;br/&gt;GLUT-4, PI3K, p38 MAPK); tanmateix, s'observa que GSPE ha d'usar també altres&lt;br/&gt;mecanismes complementaris. Aquests resultats suggereixen que GSPE pot tenir efectes&lt;br/&gt;positius en situacions de diabetis i/o resistència a insulina, donat que a més a més, els estudis&lt;br/&gt;in vivo mostren que GSPE és antihiperglicèmic en condicions de diabetis induïda per&lt;br/&gt;estreptozotocina. En aquesta tesis també s'analitzen els mecanismes moleculars que&lt;br/&gt;explicarien els efectes lipolítics de les procianidines descrits en estudis previs, i s'ha trobat&lt;br/&gt;que la proteina kinasa A i PPARã hi estan involucrats. Part d'aquests resultats han obert una&lt;br/&gt;altra via d'estudi sobre els efectes de la GSPE en el procés de diferenciació de la cèl.lula&lt;br/&gt;adiposa on s'ha observat que el tractament amb procianidines a l'inici de la diferenciació&lt;br/&gt;dificulta aquesta transformació. Donat que l'augment del nombre d'adipòcits afecta&lt;br/&gt;negativament la obesitat, aquest efecte de les procianidines és una característica&lt;br/&gt;prometedora que caldrà tenir en compte en l'estudi del seu possible paper antiobesitat.</dcterms:abstract><dcterms:medium xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://purl.org/dc/terms/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dcterms.xsd http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dc.xsd" xml:lang="">application/pdf</dcterms:medium><dc:language xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" type="dcterms:ISO639-2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://purl.org/dc/terms/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dcterms.xsd http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dc.xsd" xml:lang="">eng</dc:language><dc:publisher xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://purl.org/dc/terms/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dcterms.xsd http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dc.xsd" xml:lang="">Universitat Rovira i Virgili</dc:publisher><dc:rights xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://purl.org/dc/terms/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dcterms.xsd http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dc.xsd" xml:lang="cat">info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:rights xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://purl.org/dc/terms/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dcterms.xsd http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dc.xsd" xml:lang="">ADVERTIMENT.
