21. Inborn errors in the metabolism of glutathione
Abstract : Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide present in all mammalian cells. It takes part in several fundamental biological functions, including handling of reactive oxygen species (ROS), detoxification of xenobiotics and carcinogens, redox reactions, biosynthesis of DNA and leukotrienes, as well as neurotransmission/neuromodulation.

22. CYP2C19 polymorphisms in drug metabolism and response
Abstract : Individuals vary widely in their response to drug treatment. After receiving doses of a drug that are recommended based on a population average, some patients could have an insufficient response, whereas others may experience adverse effects. READ MORE

23. Skeletal muscle metabolism in critically ill patients
Abstract : The loss of skeletal muscle mass is of importance for the length of the hospital stay and recovery in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). In the acute illness, the export of amino acids from skeletal muscle provides substrates for vital functions and thus enhances survival. READ MORE

24. Mathematical Modelling of Insulin Signalling : Effects on Glucose Metabolism in Skeletal Muscle
Abstract : The use of models to understand complex phenomena is indispensable to the scientific community. The advantage of a model is that it simplifies the phenomena under study. However, a model should be only as complex as required, no more, no less. READ MORE

25. Environmental, nutritional and endocrine regulation of metabolic processes in fish
Abstract : Due to seasonal variations in temperature and food availability, fish in temperate regions should be able to make metabolic adjustments to ensure that enough energy is available for the maintenance of basal processes. The major aim of this thesis was to elucidate how the physiology and lipid metabolism of salmonid fish is affected by temperature and food availability, and to clarify aspects of the endocrine control of lipid metabolism.
