      Lysne, Vegard; Bjørndal, Bodil; Vik, Rita; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Skorve, Jon; Nygård, Ottar; Berge, Rolf Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-04)
      The present study aimed to evaluate effects of a water-soluble protein fraction of chicken (CP), with a low methionine/glycine ratio, on plasma homocysteine and metabolites related to homocysteine metabolism. Male Wistar ...
    • A salmon protein hydrolysate exerts lipid-independent anti-atherosclerotic activity in apoE-deficient mice 

      Parolini, Cinzia; Vik, Rita; Busnelli, Marco; Bjørndal, Bodil; Holm, Sverre; Brattelid, Trond; Manzini, Stefano; Ganzetti, Giulia S.; Dellera, Federica; Halvorsen, Bente; Aukrust, Pål; Sirtori, Cesare R.; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Skorve, Jon; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Chiesa, Giulia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-19)
      Fish consumption is considered health beneficial as it decreases cardiovascular disease (CVD)-risk through effects on plasma lipids and inflammation. We investigated a salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) that is hypothesized ...
    • Three differently generated salmon protein hydrolysates reveal opposite effects on hepatic lipid metabolism in mice fed a high-fat diet 

      Vik, Rita; Tilander, Veronika; Skorve, Jon; Vihervaara, Terhi; Ekroos, Kim; Alexson, Stefan E.H.; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Bjørndal, Bodil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-17)
      This study investigates the effects of salmon peptide fractions, generated using different enzymatic hydrolyzation methods, on hepatic lipid metabolism. Four groups of mice were fed a high-fat diet with 20% casein (control ...
