Association between Dietary Betaine Intake and Circulating Levels of Parameters Related to Choline Oxidation and Lipid Metabolism in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris
(Master thesis, 2015-05-15)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is among the leading causes of death worldwide, and is strongly influenced by lifestyle. Thus, promoting a healthy lifestyle, which includes having a healthy diet, is among the primary preventive ... -
Case-control study of food intake, nausea and vomiting of pregnant women
(Master thesis, 2014-05-15)Background: Severe pregnancy induced nausea and vomiting, also known as Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), can lead to significant reduced quality of life (QOL) and of food intake. Untreated this can potentially harm both mother ... -
Combining a low fat diet with exercise reverses diet-induced obesity and improves glucose homeostasis in C57BL/6J mice
(Master thesis, 2015-05-15)Background: The prevalence of obesity and obesity- related disorders, including type 2 diabetes and non-alcohol fatty liver disease is alarmingly high. These conditions can mostly be attributed to increased intake of energy ... -
Depresjon og andre subjektive helseplager hos pasientar med korsryggsmerter. Har inntak av sjømat og vitamin D-status noko betyding?
(Master thesis, 2014-05-15)Background: Vitamin D is found in limited selections of food, among other fatty fish and fish liver, as well as fortified food such as margarine and milk. Other vitamin D sources are dietary supplements and sunlight. Low ... -
Dietary casein has a higher potential than cod and pork to induce weight loss in obese C57BL/6J mice
(Master thesis, 2015-05-15)OBJECTIVE: In the western world, a high energy intake combined with limited physical activity have resulted in an obesity epidemic. Challenges associated with this is an altered glucose homeostasis, increased risk of several ... -
Dietary methylmercury accumulates in pancreas and reduces basal insulin secretion in mice
(Master thesis, 2014-05-15)Lifestyle diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes are highly prevalent worldwide, and represent a major public health concern. A potential link between lifestyle diseases and methylmercury exposure have been proposed in ... -
The effect of maternal fish oil supplementation during lactation on body composition and blood pressure in 13-year old children
(Master thesis, 2013-05-15)Background: It has long been recognized that the long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LCPUFA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) accumulates in the brain during the first years of life and that this is potentially ... -
Food intake and weight changes in Norwegian hip fracture patients
(Master thesis, 2015-05-15)Background: Norway has the highest rates of hip fractures worldwide. Hip fracture patients represent a vulnerable group with high mortality and morbidity after one year, and as the elderly population is increasing a ... -
A high proportion of dietary casein attenuates the obesogenic effect of high-fat diets in C57BL/6J mice
(Master thesis, 2014-05-15)The obesity epidemic is on the rise, and currently represents the largest global health threat. Westernization and advances in food production have led to a contemporary diet comprised of 49 % energy from carbohydrates, ... -
Inhibition of cyclooxygenases attenuates diet-induced obesity and compensatory increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in C57BL/6J mice
(Master thesis, 2013-05-15)Obesity is considered a state of low-grade inflammation, and this inflammation is strongly related to development of systematic insulin resistance. Hyperglycemia develops during insulin resistance as insulin-stimulated ... -
Is total immunoglobulin E and atopic sensitization associated with food-related gastrointestinal complaints?
(Master thesis, 2014-04-08)Background: We have observed increased number of "IgE-armed" mast cells in duodenal mucosa of patients with food hypersensitivity, and therefore we wanted to explore whether serum total IgE levels and atopic sensitization ... -
Isoform identification and partial characterisation of Glutaminase in CD4+ T lymphocytes
(Master thesis, 2013-05-29)The proliferating phenotype is highly glycolytic and reliant on sufficient supply and synthesis of biosynthetic intermediaries to meet the demands of rapid cell replication. Glutamine contributes to this up-regulated ... -
Maternal Seafood Consumption and Serum Levels of p.p'-DDE and PCB-153 in Mother and Child
(Master thesis, 2014-05-15)Background: While seafood is a natural part of a healthy and balanced diet, it may also contain some undesirable environmental contaminants such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which can have detrimental effects ... -
Nutritional and clinical status of patients with diabetes in Zanzibar: A clinical follow up study
(Master thesis, 2020-06-24) -
The obesogenic effects of high-fat diets are influenced by both protein source and amount
(Master thesis, 2013-05-15)Although there has been a decline in the dietary fat intake over the last decade, the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is still rising. The contemporary Western diet provides an average of 49 % energy from ... -
The obesogenic potential of high fat/high protein diets is determined by both amino acid- and fatty acid composition of the protein source used
(Master thesis, 2016-05-12)Studies in rodents have found that high protein diets differ in obesogenic potential depending on the protein source used. Varied changes in morphology of brown adipose tissue, an important metabolic organ in mice and rats, ... -
Postprandial metabolism in healthy young subjects (PoMet)
(Master thesis, 2022-05-13)Introduction: When measuring nutritional biomarkers in blood, recent food intake can greatly impact the concentrations. Hence, it may be important to consider prandial status when interpreting the biomarker concentrations. ... -
