1. Skeletal muscle matrix metalloproteinase and exercise in humans
Abstract : Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue; it has a great capacity to adapt to environmental demands throughout life. The structural and functional changes that occur in response to exercise training are well characterized whereas much less is known about these adaptive processes at the cellular and molecular levels.

2. Exercise and angiogenic growth factors in human skeletal muscle
Abstract : Long-term electrical stimulation and endurance exercise increase the amount of capillaries in skeletal muscle. VEGF-A is a well-characterized stimulatory angiogenic growth factor and has shown to play an important role in angiogenesis in pathological conditions in humans and in physiological conditions in animal models.

3. Effects of acute exercise and training on gene expression and regulatory proteins in human skeletal muscle
Abstract : Regular physical activity affects all tissues in the human body, not least skeletal muscle. The skeletal muscle adaptation involves changes that help the muscle to handle perturbations of the intracellular homeostasis during exercise and thereby gradually improve the exercise capacity.

4. The human skeletal muscle in vivo : the use of microdialysis to study glucose metabolism and insulin resistance
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to further develop the microdialysis technique for studies of glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle in vivo and to use this technique to explore the effect of exercise on muscle glucose metabolism and insulin action. The first two studies were conducted to explore the possibility of using a perfusion flow rate low enough to obtain complete equilibrium between the interstitial and perfusion fluids and if the colloid included in the perfusion fluid for this purpose affected the metabolite concentrations in the dialysate.

5. Environmental regulation of metabolism : from transgenerational effects of nutrition to acute effects of exercise
Abstract : The incidence of metabolic disease has risen rapidly in the last half-century leading to both individual suffering and a burden to society. The importance of physical activity for metabolic health is well known. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence that parental food choice and obesity can affect the metabolic health of future generations. READ MORE
