Cod protein powder lowered serum nonesterified fatty acids and increased total bile acid concentrations in healthy, lean, physically active adults: A randomized double-blind study
Vildmyren, Iselin; Halstensen, Alfred; Oterhals, Åge; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-11)Background: Fish fillet consumption is associated with beneficial health effects; however, little is known about whether consuming other parts of the fish such as head, backbone, skin, cut-offs, and entrails (collectively ... -
Cod Residual Protein Prevented Blood Pressure Increase in Zucker fa/fa Rats, Possibly by Inhibiting Activities of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Renin
Vildmyren, Iselin Thowsen; Drotningsvik, Aslaug; Oterhals, Åge; Ween, Ola; Halstensen, Alfred; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-22)Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and prevention of high blood pressure through diet and lifestyle should be a preferred approach. High intake of fish is associated with lower blood pressure, ... -
Daily intake of protein from cod residual material lowers serum concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids in overweight healthy adults: A randomized double-blind pilot study
Vildmyren, Iselin Thowsen; Cao, Huy John Vu; Haug, Lina Bowitz; Valand, Ida Ulrikke; Eng, Øyvin Andre Solberg; Oterhals, Åge; Austgulen, Maren Hoff; Halstensen, Alfred; Mellgren, Gunnar; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-05)Improved process technologies have allowed fishing vessels to utilize residuals from cod fillet production (head, backbone, skin, cuttings, and entrails) and convert this to high-quality protein powders for human consumption. ... -
A diet containing cod backbone proteins attenuated the development of mesangial sclerosis and tubular dysfunction in male obese BTBR ob/ob mice
O'Keeffe, Maria; Oterhals, Åge; Weishaupt, Hrafn; Leh, Sabine; Ulvik, Arve; Ueland, Per Magne; Halstensen, Alfred; Marti, Hans Peter; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Purpose The obese black and tan, brachyuric (BTBR) ob/ob mouse spontaneously develops features comparable to human diabetic nephropathy. The primary aim of the present study was to investigate if a diet containing fish ... -
Dietary fish intake increased the concentration of soluble ACE2 in rats: can fish consumption reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection through interception of SARS-CoV-2 by soluble ACE2?
O'Keeffe, Maria; Oterhals, Åge; Vikøren, Linn Anja Slåke; Drotningsvik, Aslaug; Mellgren, Gunnar; Halstensen, Alfred; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enters the cells after binding to the membrane-bound receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), but this may be prevented through interception by soluble ... -
Effect of cod residual protein supplementation on markers of glucose regulation in lean adults: A randomized double-blind study
Vildmyren, Iselin; Halstensen, Alfred; McCann, Adrian; Midttun, Øivind; Ueland, Per Magne; Oterhals, Åge; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Large quantities of protein-rich cod residuals, which are currently discarded, could be utilized for human consumption. Although fish fillet intake is related to beneficial health effects, little is known about the potential ... -
Intake of residuals from Atlantic cod attenuated blood pressure increase but did not delay development of kidney damage in obese Zucker fa/fa rats
Vildmyren, Iselin Thowsen; Oterhals, Åge; Leh, Sabine; Samuelsen, Tor Andreas; Halstensen, Alfred; Marti, Hans Peter; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Documentation of health effects of residuals after fish filleting may motivate both consumers and producers to increase the use of this under-utilised protein source. Objectives: The primary objective of the ...
