1. Spices in the postprandial metabolic regulation of healthy humans : An integrated physiological and omics approach
Abstract : Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a consequence of obesity and defined as cluster of at least three out of five criteria covering insulin resistance/glucose intolerance, abdominal obesity, hypertension, low HDL-c and elevated TG levels. Imbalance between energy intake and expenditure is known to alter normal physiological function in many aspects, and leads to obesity, which in the long run may turn into type 2 diabetes (T2D) and ultimately cardiovascular disease (CVD).

3. Nutritional metabolomics: The search for dietary exposure variables
Abstract : To establish associations and causation between diet and health, objective and reliable methods are needed to measure dietary exposure. Metabolomics provide an unbiased tool for exploring the modulation of the human metabolome in response to food intake. READ MORE

4. Early perturbations in lipid metabolism in insulin resistance
Abstract : Subjects with the Metabolic Syndrome with or without type 2 diabetes are at excess risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms are still not completely understood. Resistance to insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is associated with several metabolic and hemostatic risk factors for cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

5. Multi-platform metabolomics assays to study the responsiveness of the human plasma and lung lavage metabolome
Abstract : Metabolomics as a field has been used to track changes and perturbations in the human body by investigating metabolite profiles indicating the change of metabolite levels over time and in response to different challenges. In this thesis work, the main focus was on applying multiplatform-metabolomics to study the human metabolome following exposure to perturbations, such as diet (in the form of a challenge meal) and exhaust emissions (air pollution exposure in a controlled setting).
