1. The effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation at energy balance in man
Abstract : The principal goal of the thesis has been to evaluate the effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation. Body composition assessment is of importance as an indicator of the energy balance. Therefore, in the first study the aim was to develop new models to estimate body composition more accurately.

2. Zinc in folding and misfolding of SOD1 : Implications for ALS
Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease causing degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Most ALS cases are sporadic; only 6% are associated with mutations in Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). READ MORE

3. Amino acid and protein turnover in human skeletal muscle
Abstract : Critically ill patients are characterised by a severe net protein catabolism. The rate of muscle protein loss is in the magnitude of 10% per week. A consequence of muscle wasting is increased weakness, which is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. READ MORE

4. Interconnectivity of mitochondrial protein biogenesis and homeostasis
Abstract : To ensure correct protein function, the cells are equipped with a tightly regulated network of chaperones that support protein folding and actively participate in protein quality control (PQC) and turnover. Due to the dual origin of the mitochondrial proteome, the cytosolic and mitochondrial PQC networks coordinate to ensure protein import and assembly in the organelle. READ MORE

5. Constraint-based modeling of yeast metabolism and protein secretion
Abstract : Yeasts are extensively exploited as cell factories for producing alcoholic beverages, biofuels, bio-pharmaceutical proteins, and other value-added chemicals. To improve the performance of yeast cell factories, it is necessary to understand their metabolism. READ MORE
