An Investigation into the Effects of Chronic High Fructose Consumption on Liver Histology, Triglyceride Content and Gene Expression in Male Sprague-Dawley Rats
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)Background: Chronic high fructose intake is associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and metabolic-dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Fructose metabolised in the liver is not subject to the same strict regulation as glucose, and high fructose intake can therefore increase lipid production and storage, leading to detrimental metabolic changes. Fructose may also induce hypertension ... -

Associations between intake of dairy products and colorectal lesions in the Norwegian CRCbiome study: a cross-sectional study
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-15)Background: Intake of dairy is associated with lower risk of CRC. It is, however, unclear whether this risk reduction applies to all types of dairy products and whether it also applies to precancerous lesions. Aim/objective: To examine the association between intake of dairy products and CRC screening findings (non-advanced lesions and advanced colorectal lesions (ACN)) in participants with a ... -
Effect of ketosis on pain and quality of life in women with lipedema.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-13)Background: Lipedema is an adipose tissue condition in females characterized by immobility, pain, and reduced quality of life (QoL).

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a low-energy ketogenic diet on pain and QoL in women with lipedema, compared to a low-energy non-ketogenic ... -
Investigating the effects of the ketone body ß-hydroxybutyrate and the anti-cancer compound MHP88 on glioblastoma multiforme cells in vitro
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-16)Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive human brain tumor with a mean survival of 15 months. It is therefore necessary to explore new treatment strategies, and to study how different hallmarks of cancer can be utilized in this regard. The marine natural product mimic MHP88 can attack the cancer cells’ ability to evade immune destruction by inducing immunogenic cell death ... -
