6. Biological Rhythms of Pancreatic Secretion in Young Pigs with empahasis to the time around weaning
Abstract : When the time structure (chronome) of pancreatic secretion was studied after weaning in 5-week-old pigs, the zero-amplitude (no-rhythm) assumption was rejected for the about-weekly (circaseptan, CS) and about-half-weekly (circasemiseptan, CSS) chronome components. When the data were assessed individually on a day-to-day basis, a 24-hour component was suggested (P. READ MORE

7. Origin, release and functional significance of the novel gastric hormone ghrelin
Abstract : The novel gastric hormone ghrelin was discovered by virtue of its ability to release growth hormone (GH) via interaction with the so-called GH-secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Earlier only synthetic agents were known to bind with the GHS-R, hence, ghrelin is the first identified endogenous ligand. READ MORE

8. Effects of early probiotic supplementation in a pediatric setting : Focus on body composition, metabolism and inflammation
Abstract : We aimed to determine the short- and long-term effects on growth, body composition, metabolic and inflammatory markers following supplementation with the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei F19 (LF19) during weaning. READ MORE

9. Population fluctuations and life history consequences in the arctic fox
Abstract : In this thesis, I describe and explain drastic population fluctuations in the arctic fox Alopex lagopus (L.). I proceed to examine evolutionary consequences of unpredictable fluctuations in terms of life history strategies. In fluctuating populations, the risks and benefits of different behaviours vary with changes in population density. READ MORE

10. 'O neighbour, where art thou?' : spatial and social dynamics in wolverine and lynx, from individual space use to population distribution
Abstract : The organisation of individuals in space and time influences population structure and dynamics, and is important for our understanding of animal ecology. The aim of this thesis is to gain an increased understanding of the mechanisms driving the abundance and distribution of solitary carnivores, from individual space use to population-level distribution.
