      Larsen, Maria Arlén; Goll, Rasmus; Lekhal, Samira; Moen, Odd S.; Florholmen, Jon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-15)
      Obesity is associated with the metabolic syndrome. The aims were, first, to study the postprandial triglyceride clearance in young, healthy obese subjects and, second, to investigate if fasting triglycerides can predict delayed postprandial triglyceride clearance. Eighteen apparently healthy, obese subjects with no clinical signs of metabolic disturbances participated. Controls were age‐ and ...
    • Early markers of metabolic disease in obesity - A study of postprandial triglycerides, leptin and adiponectin interactions in the view of normal and dysregulated metabolism 

      Larsen, Maria Arlén (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-12-06)
      Individuals in industrialized countries spend a substantial part of life in the non-fasting, postprandial state, which is also associated with increased oxidation and inflammation. Furthermore, a high body mass index (BMI) is the third cause of mortality in the world. In this PhD thesis, obese (BMI>30) individuals with and without metabolic disease (n=50) was included, in addition to a normal ...
    • Postprandial leptin and adiponectin in response to sugar and fat in obese and normal weight individuals

      <p><i>Purpose - </i>Adipokines produced by white adipose tissue are central in the development of lifestyle diseases. Individuals in industrialized countries spend a substantial part of life in the non-fasting, postprandial state, which is associated with increased oxidation and inflammation. The aim was to study postprandial adiponectin and leptin levels after an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) and ...
