11. Monitoring Health Problems and Training to Support Performance in Competitive Cross-Country Ski Athletes
Abstract : Competitive cross-country (XC) ski athletes (defined hereafter as XC skiers and biathletes combined) are vulnerable to developing various health-related symptoms and conditions due to several factors, such as high physiological and psychological demands, extreme competition and training environments, high training loads, demanding competition schedules, and frequent travel. On initiating this work, we (the author and supervisory team) were approached by the Swedish Ski Association (SSF) and the Swedish Biathlon Federation (SSSF) to investigate the relationships between training, racing, and health problems, with a specific focus on illnesses (rather than injuries), and an ultimate goal of improving future support practices and athletic performance.

12. Profiling Plasma Metabolite Alterations in Diet-Induced Obesity and Diabetes Using NMR Metabolomics
Abstract : Diets rich in saturated fat and sedentary lifestyles markedly contribute to obesity and metabolic syndrome-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Metabolite profiling plays a pivotal role in understanding these metabolic diseases. READ MORE

13. Vitreoscilla hemoglobin. In vitro mutagenesis and transcript profiling to improve its biotechnological usefulness
Abstract : Vitreoscilla is an obligate aerobic bacterium found in oxygen-poor environments such as stagnant ponds and decaying vegetable matter. Vitreoscilla induces the production of a homodimeric hemoglobin (VHb) when subjected to oxygen-limiting conditions. READ MORE

14. Gene Regulatory Networks: Dynamics and Stability
Abstract : Life as we know it is based on cells that use proteins and RNA to carry out metabolism, self-replication, and other essential tasks. The genes that code for these molecules are encoded in DNA, and through the processes of transcription and translation the cell expresses its genes. READ MORE

15. Metabolic profiling of meat and fish and their impact on human metabolism
Abstract : High intake of meat is frequently associated with increased risk of disease, while the opposite is true for fish; yet few studies have compared meat and fish in terms of both its composition of low-molecular weight (LMW) molecules and its effects on metabolite concentrations in humans. The work presented in this thesis aimed to use metabolomics to get a holistic overview of compositional differences between fish and meat, and the effects of dietary fish or meat intake on human metabolism.
