21. Supercritical fluid extraction of bioactive compounds from berry seeds
Abstract : Industrial processing of berries into food and beverages generates seeds as a by-product. Most of these seeds are treated as waste even though they contain valuable biological compounds. An approach to adding value to the process is to extract these compounds from the seeds. READ MORE

22. PPARs in the regulation of gene expression and lipid metabolism in the liver
Abstract : Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors, regulating genes involved in carbohydrate, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Synthetic PPARalpha agonists used in clinic are the fibrates, and their hypotriglyceridemic effect is believed to be the result of decreased VLDL triglyceride secretion and increased turnover of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles in the circulation.

23. Catalytic Properties and Tissue Distribution of Cytochrome P450 4F8 and 4F12 : Expression of CYP4F8 in Eye Tissues and Psoriatic Lesions
Abstract : The human cytochrome P450 (CYP) family of monooxygenases is important for metabolism of drugs and endogenous compounds, e.g., vitamin A and D, cholesterol, steroids, fatty acids, and eicosanoids. This thesis describes the tissue distribution, catalytic properties, and possible function of CYP4F8 and CYP4F12. READ MORE

24. Energy metabolism and clinical symptoms in beta-oxidation defects, especially long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase deficiency
Abstract : Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHAD) is a severe inborn error in the beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. The disease presents during the first years of life. Hypoglycemia, hepatic manifestations, muscle hypotonia and episodes of rhabdomyolysis, cardiomyopathy and even sudden death are common symptoms. READ MORE

25. Influence of Herring (Clupea harengus) Intake on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
Abstract : This thesis describes four studies that investigated whether or not herring (Clupea harengus) intake decreases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It has previously been shown that fatty fish and fish oil intake decreases the risk of atherosclerosis and CVD. READ MORE
