Abstract Blood glucose is maintained by a continuous tug of war between the actions of insulin (lowering) and glucagon (increasing) that are secreted by the beta- and alpha-cells of the pancreatic islets, respectively. Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin, the impact of which is exacerbated by defects of glucagon secretion. Diabetes research has traditionally had a “beta-centric” perspective but recently there has been renewed interest in glucagon and the alpha-cells and diabetes is now often referred to as a “bihormonal disorder”. In my lecture I will discuss the complex crosstalk between the islet cells in the healthy state and how it becomes disrupted in diabetes. In particular, I will consider the failure the alpha-cells to release enough glucagon at low glucose, which leads to an increased risk of the blood glucose concentration falling to dangerously low (even fatal) levels; some estimates suggest that this is the cause of 10% of the deaths in insulin-treated patients. I will describe data gleaned from studies on mouse models of diabetes as well as human islets from donors with diabetes. Finally, I will turn to the question of whether physiologically appropriate regulation of glucagon can be restored by repurposing of drugs already used in diabetes therapy.

During the past decades, advances in medical imaging technology have increased awareness and understanding of fat stored in non-adipose tissue, such as the liver, and its link to metabolic function, even independently of total body adiposity. While weight loss per se remains the primary strategy for reducing liver fat, achieving and maintaining a clinically significant weight loss is challenging. Nonetheless, evidence for dietary strategies for reducing liver fat independently of weight loss are scarce and inconsistent, and it is therefore important to explore strategies for reducing liver fat that are independent of weight loss (Paper I). Observational studies suggest that consuming fermented dairy products, particularly yogurt, may have health benefits and reduce risk of cardiometabolic diseases. However, evidence on the impact of yogurt consumption on liver fat balance is limited. Accordingly, the overarching aim of this PhD thesis was to explore the role of liver fat as a marker of metabolic function, and evaluate the effect of dairy foods, in particular yogurt, in modifying liver fat content in males with abdominal obesity during body weight stability. To achieve this, we conducted a 16-week randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of yogurt compared to milk on liver fat and cardiometabolic risk in males with abdominal obesity (Paper II). Additionally, a cross-sectional analysis was performed to compare individuals with low and high liver fat content, to further explore the role of liver fat as a marker of metabolic function independent of other common measures of adiposity (Paper III). The results from this PhD thesis underline the importance of liver fat content as a marker of metabolic function independently of other adiposity markers (Paper III). Contrary to our hypothesis, the effect of yogurt compared to milk was not superior in reducing liver fat and improving cardiometabolic risk during body weight stability. However, consumption of all included dairy products, fermented or not, led to similar mild improvements in some cardiometabolic risk markers without affecting liver fat content (Paper II).

Alterations in growth and body composition (BC) during critical windows of development may explain some of these associations. As the earliest nutritional exposure for many infants, human milk (HM) may contribute to BC development and thus chronic disease risk. However, the study of both paediatric BC and HM are complicated by methodological difficulties, creating a challenging research environment. The overall objective of this thesis was to develop improved tools for the study of HM and BC, and is a culmination of two separate studies; Mothers, Infants, and Lactation Quality (MILQ) and Milk affecting growth, cognition, and the gut in child stunting (MAGNUS). In paper I, we calibrated bioelectrical impedance (BIA) for use in Ugadan children with stunted linear growth using isotope dilution as a reference method among 50 children aged 12-59 mo. In paper II, we estimated BC using this calibrated BIA in a cohort of 750 stunted Ugandan children aged 12-59 mo who were enrolled to the MAGNUS nutritional intervention study. We further investigated correlates of BC at baseline. Paper III presents globally representative HM macronutrient reference values (RV) which combine longitudinal HM macronutrient data from mothers in Bangladesh, Brazil, Denmark, and The Gambia, between 1 and 8.5 mo post-partum. In paper I we developed a BIA equation that performed with a prediction error of 4.5%. for FFM. Including HAZ in the equation explained a further 1% which suggests that degree of stunting changes the relationship between whole-body impedance and FFM. In paper II, among 750 stunted children we found deficits in fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), and FM index (FMI), but not FFM index (FFMI), compared to UK references, providing suggestive evidence of FFM protection at the expense of linear growth. We report that inflammatory markers CRP and AGP were inversely associated with linear growth and accordingly with FFM, but not FM, making systemic inflammation an interesting target for intervention. Longer continued breastfeeding was associated with greater FFM and FM, proportionally to greater height. A positive rapid malaria test was associated with shorter height, greater FMI, but not with FFMI. In paper III, 2194 HM samples were included in new macronutrient RVs, which were generated using the powerful GAMLSS framework. Median HM protein reduced from 1.15 g/100 mL at 1 month to 0.8 g/100 mL at 4 months postpartum from where it remained stable. Median HM carbohydrate, fat, and energy were stable across lactation at around 6.8 g/100 mL and 3.2 g/100 mL, and 600 kcal/L, respectively. We propose that characteristic alterations of limb proportions in stunting could change the relationship between whole-body impedance and FFM. Whether this effect continues along a non-stunted range of HAZ remains to be investigated. Reducing systemic inflammation in stunted children may improve linear and FFM development without elevating FM. Malaria may be one infectious burden contributing to elevated inflammation in these children. World Health Organisation recommendations to continue breastfeeding to at least 2 years are also supported. HM macronutrient RVs were produced from samples collected and analysed with standardised protocols from geographically and genetically diverse populations. We encourage their use in future research and practice as normative values.

This thesis is an attempt to further improve our understanding of the homeostatic control of skeletal muscle in relation to exercise adaptations and its rich cell diversity. By developing two workflows for the untargeted profiling of RNA and protein expression in more than two thousand individual fibers, we were able to capture the true human muscle fiber diversity, that extends well beyond the traditional slow/fast paradigm based on myosin heavy chain isoform expression (PAPER I). Leveraging the power of our novel single-fiber methodology, we then developed a tool (fibeRtypeR) for fiber type inference from bulk transcriptomics and proteomics datasets (PAPER II). Our single-fiber transcriptome workflow was also used to understand the muscle fiber-specific transcriptional perturbations induced by acute exercise in humans (PAPER III). The richer cell diversity beyond only the muscle fibers was systematically deconstructed by integrating various omics technologies and follow-up invasive experiments during and after exercise (PAPER IV). These data indicate that non-muscle cells, and more specifically mast cells and macrophages, harbor a powerful potential to steer the metabolic and transcriptional response to exercise via histaminergic signaling. In a follow-up study, the potent bioactive properties of histamine became even more apparent, as the beneficial exercise effects on metabolic health, cardiovascular health and aerobic capacity were partially or completely blunted by intake of histamine receptor antagonists (PAPER V). Finally, we mapped the expression of a dipeptide family (histidine-containing dipeptides) across three species (mice, rats and humans) in over twenty tissues (PAPER VI). As the most exciting finding, N-acetylcarnosine is released from skeletal muscle during exercise in humans as a newly identified myokine.

A2-70.03, Thorvaldsensvej 40, st., Frederiksberg";"Bikila Soboka Megersa is defending his PhD thesis: Growth in early childhood and later body composition and cardiometabolic health in Ethiopian children.";"PhD defence by Bikila Soboka Megersa About the PhD thesis Birth weight and rapid weight gain during early childhood have been associated with childhood overweight and cardiometabolic diseases in adulthood. However, evidence of the relative importance of birth fat mass (FM), birth fat-free mass (FFM), and their accretion in early childhood on later adiposity and cardiometabolic health is limited. Despite an increasing burden of childhood overweight and cardiometabolic diseases in sub-Saharan African countries, there is limited evidence from longitudinal studies on how birth size and early childhood growth are related to adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in later childhood. Thus, this thesis aimed to examine associations of weight and body composition at birth and early childhood growth from 0-5 years with body composition and cardiometabolic markers at age 10 years. This thesis is based on data from the Ethiopian iABC birth cohort study. Body composition from birth to 10 years was assessed using air-displacement plethysmography. The exposure variables were weight, FM, and FFM at birth, previously identified body mass index (BMI) trajectories from 0-5 years, and FM and FFM accretion in selected periods from 0-5 years (0-3, 3-6, 6-48, and 48-60 months). Outcomes were obtained from 355 children who attended the 10-year follow-up and included anthropometry, body composition, abdominal subcutaneous- and visceral fat, and cardiometabolic markers. Associations between exposure variables and the 10-year outcomes were assessed using multiple linear regression analysis. At 10 years, the mean ( SD) height z-score and BMI z-score of the children were -0.76 (0.94) and -0.77 (1.15), respectively. Higher birth weight and FFM were associated with greater height, fat-free mass index, insulin, C-peptide, and HOMA-IR, whereas higher birth FM was associated with greater fat mass index and abdominal subcutaneous fat, but not visceral fat. FM accretion from 0-3 months and 3-6 months, but not FFM, was related to higher blood pressure and glucose levels. Furthermore, FM and FFM accretion between 6-48 months was associated with higher insulin and HOMA-IR, whereas FFM accretion during the same period was related to lower total and LDL cholesterol concentrations. Children with either rapid or slow growth to high BMI trajectories from 0-5 years had greater adiposity and markers of glucose homeostasis compared to those with normal BMI trajectories at 10 years of age. In summary, based on the children included in this cohort, Ethiopian children were on average shorter and thinner compared with standard reference at 10 years of age. Children with higher FFM accretion in early childhood may have a lower risk of dyslipidemia later in life. Conversely, those with higher FM accretion and rapid or slow growth to high BMI in early childhood might have an increased risk of adiposity and elevated cardiometabolic markers later in life. 2024, 194 pages.

In Study I, highly trained male cyclists underwent either high or low volume speed endurance training over a period of 6 weeks, during which the overall training volume was markedly reduced. In Study II, female endurance athletes underwent a 14-day period of low energy availability to investigate the effects of a rapid lowering of body weight while maintaining training volume. In addition to examining the effects of intensified training and low energy availability on exercise performance, the underlying physiological mechanisms governing potential adaptations related to muscle metabolism and fatigue resistance were assessed. The two studies allowed for an examination of whether athletes could benefit from adapting such strategies in their pursuit to optimize exercise performance. The main findings of Study I were that highly trained athletes can improve their sprinting ability and short-intense exercise performance by implementing a low volume of speed endurance training, whereas performing a higher volume did not yield similar improvements. Moreover, implementing speed endurance training can compensate for a reduction in training volume by preserving endurance exercise performance and underlying physiological mechanisms such as maximal oxygen consumption and skeletal muscle metabolism. The main findings of Study II were that 14 days of low energy availability impairs endurance and short-intense exercise performance, even when normalized to the reduction in body weight and furthermore, following three days of sufficient energy, performance remained impaired. Notably, the impaired performance was not attributed to reduced glycogen, changes in skeletal muscle metabolism but possibly linked to changes in substrate metabolism. Furthermore, low energy availability was associated with increased oxidative stress in isolated immune cells, suggesting a potential increase in susceptibility to acute infections. The thesis concluded that highly trained cyclists can derive benefits from implementing speed endurance training into their training regimen, whereas rapid weight loss directly impairs exercise performance.

";"Dr. Gordon Spence is presenting in Coaching lecture series ""Coaching - Research and Practice"" Download slides from Gordon Spences lecture Dr. Gordon Spence Dr Gordon Spence is a coaching psychologist, exercise scientist, & senior lecturer at the Coaching Psychology Unit, University of Sydney. Amongst his teaching duties, Gordon has lectured on the Psychology of Peak Performance for over 15 years & is currently exploring optimal functioning through an integration of psychology & exercise science. He was co-editor of the SAGE Handbook of Coaching (2017) & is the author of numerous journal articles & book chapters on topics related to coaching psychology. In 2022, Gordon published two non-academic books on physical activity & healthy ageing. Description of talk Performance is often thought of in one-dimensional terms, based on gains made at the level of behaviour. However, what people can do and how well they can do it yields an incomplete picture of their overall status. As such, keeping their overall status in mind is important because a performer cannot be reasonably separated from their accomplishments. In this talk, Dr Spence will advance the idea that coaching for peak performance is about more than the accomplishment of remarkable things. He will argue it is also important to consider how performance effects the performer. Does it leave them enlivened or dispirited, enhanced or diminished, flourishing or languishing? Can performance be considered ‘peak’ if its beneficial, in-the-world effects are not accompanied by pleasant subjective effects? Gordon will outline what such considerations mean for coaching practice, supported by the proposition that success in life emerges from a balance of accomplishments…where adequate attention is given to multiple dimensions of wellbeing & personal functioning.

Nearly half of the children in low- and middle-income country settings (LMICs) are affected with 43% unable to attain their developmental potential. There are possible benefits for growth and early child development (ECD) by including milk in food supplements for undernourished children. However, the effectof individual milk ingredients is still unclear. Objective: We assessed the effect of milk protein (MP) vs soy protein, and whey permeate (WP) vs maltodextrin, in large quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS), and LNS itself vs no supplementation on growth and ECD among 12 – 59-month-old children with stunting. The baseline correlates, and predictors of change in ECD were also examined. Methods: This study was nested within the MAGNUS trial (ISRCTN1309319) a randomized, double-blind, 2x2 factorial community-based trial in Uganda. Children were randomized to one of four formulations of LNS (~535 kcal/d), with or without MP (n=299 vs n=301), with or without WP (n=301 vs n=299), for 12 weeks or to no supplementation (n=150). Growth was measured by changes in length/height and weight plus changes in body composition. Development was assessed using the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool (MDAT). Age adjusted MDAT z-scores were generated internally for the study sample across four domains of gross and fine motor, language and social skills, plus a summative total score. The effects of interventions were analysed based on intention-to-treat using linear mixed-effects models while linear regression was used to assess any linear relationship unless otherwise. Results: Between February to September 2020, 750 children were enrolled with a median [interquartile range] age of 30 [23; 41] months. Their mean (±standard deviation) height-forage z-score (HAZ) was -3.02 ±0.74, there were 13% (n=95) currently breastfed children, slightly over half (n=415) resided in rural settings, and 21% (n=157) were from female-headed households, and 47% (n=338) of the mothers had no schooling. Only 4% (n=33) of the households were food secure with a quarter (n=196) eating a diverse diet. There were 98% (n=736) of children, evenly distributed among groups, who completed the 12-week follow-up. Eleven serious adverse events occurred to 1.3% (n=10) of the children which mainly included hospitalization due to illness (malaria and anaemia). All of these were deemed unrelated to the interventions. Among the unsupplemented children, there was a decline of 0.06 (95% CI: 0.02; 0.10) HAZ with an increase of 0.29 (95% CI: 0.20; 0.39) kg/m2 fat mass index (FMI), and decline of 0.06 (95% CI: -0.002; 0.12) kg/m2 fat-free mass index (FFMI). There were no interactions between effects of MP and WP. Neither MP nor WP had any effect on growth or ECD, but, LNS irrespective of milk ingredients vs no LNS improved growth, including head circumference. Overall, LNS itself led to 0.56 (95% CI: 0.42; 0.70) cm greater height increment, corresponding to 0.17 (95% CI: 0.13; 0.21) greater HAZ increment, and 0.21 (95% CI: 0.14; 0.28) kg greater weight gain, of which 76.5% (95% CI: 61.9; 91.1) was fat-free mass (FFM). In addition, LNS itself resulted in 0.07 (95% CI: 0.004; 0.14) cm greater increase of head circumference. The degree of stunting [HAZ (0.24, 95% CI: 0.14; 0.33)], head circumference (0.07, 95% CI:0.02; 0.12), and stimulation were positively associated with total MDAT z-score. On the contrary, current breastfeeding (-0.41, 95% CI: -0.65; -0.17), and having a single income earner (-0.22, 95% CI: -0.37; -0.06) were negatively associated with total MDAT z-score. Furthermore, stunting severity (moderate vs severe), higher fat-free mass, negative malaria test and no inflammation (serum α-1-acid glycoprotein <1 g/l) at baseline, predicted greater increase in ECD. On the contrary, older age and fat mass gain predicted lesser increase in ECD scores over time among children with stunting. Conclusion: This study found that milk ingredients in LNS had no effects on growth or ECD among already stunted children. However, LNS in itself vs no supplementation resulted in improved linear catch-up growth, accretion of fat-free but not fat mass, and a larger increase of head circumference. In contrast, unsupplemented children continued on a stunting trajectory, and mainly gained fat at the expense of FFM. Smaller and anaemic children tended to be breastfed longer, perhaps explaining the association between current breastfeeding and low ECD scores by reverse causality. In view of the consequences without action, nutrition supplementation programs to treat children with stunting should be considered. The correlates and predictors of ECD identified in this study may inform future initiatives to support children with stunting to attain their developmental potential. There is a need to emphasize timeliness of interventions, focusing on younger children, promoting continued breastfeeding, and fat-free, rather than fat mass accretion. This should include ensuring an infection-free and stimulative home environment to promote improvement in ECD among children with stunting in LMICs. 2024, 172 pages.

Introduktion til workshoppen Ønsker du at få mulige indsigter forærende, når du coacher, faciliterer eller deltager i udviklingsprocesser? Giver det mening for dig at få hjælp til at udforske, hvordan hele den nuancerede personlighed og situationsbestemte adfærd hæmmer og fremmer? Ønsker du at få dyb selvforståelse og forståelse for andre? Vi tager udgangspunkt i et nyt og anerkendende psykometrisk redskab baseret på solid forskning i personlighedspsykologi. Test, portræt, processer og digitale redskaber giver mulighed for at vise, udforske og værdsætte hele personligheden uden båse eller bias. Det iboende menneskesyn sikrer, at deltagerne (om de er topledere eller ufaglærte medarbejdere) vil føle sig set og forstået som de nuancerede, værdifulde mennesker de er, hvilket giver selvindsigt, tryghed og lyst til at udvikle sig. Ved at bruge Lumina Spark personlighedstesten får du en nuanceret forståelse af det, der ofte er ubevidst: Din underliggende, naturlige motivation og dine skjulte potentialer, som du måske kan have glæde af at bruge mere eller bedre. Din hverdagspersona og den adfærd du udviser i hverdagen - og hvad du med fordel kan skrue op og ned for afhængig af den enkelte situation, du befinder dig i. Hvordan du agerer under pres - og hvordan du kan blive bedre til med bevidsthed at respondere i stressende situationer. Hvor du favner paradokset, og kan være både-og frem for enten-eller. f.eks. både ekstrovert og introvert. Coaching og team facilitering med udgangspunkt i testen giver et godt grundlag for at arbejde med at forbedre: kommunikation i teams, teamwork, ledelse, inklusion, psykologisk tryghed, m.m.

While heart rate alterations contribute to the adjustment of cardiac output, the adaptations in maximal cardiac output primarily occur through functional and morphological adaptations that impact stroke volume. Our research aimed to elucidate the functional changes that occur with short- and long-term training interventions as well as the effects on cardiac function with acute exercise and exercise training. The studies in this thesis include various ‘healthy’ subjects ranging from sedentary individuals with a peak oxygen uptake of 18 ml/kg/min to elite athletes with 78 ml/kg/min. In postmenopausal women, we found that cardiac mass and function, when matched for lean body mass, were not different between sedentary individuals and well-trained subjects. In addition, classical markers associated with improved cardiac function showed some association with fitness, but not at group levels. However, a clear discrepancy was evident in the estimated stroke volume needed for the measured maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), suggesting that resting cardiac function were inadequate at revealing the functional capacity of the trained hearts. This indicates a more complex interplay between physical fitness and cardiac dimensions than previously recognized, underscoring the importance of selecting appropriate metrics for assessing cardiac adaptations. This novel finding underpins the pitfalls of echocardiographic assessment of cardiac function in otherwise healthy individuals. This assessment may be improved by assessing cardiac function during acute stress which challenges cardiac function. A strong association between functional markers and heart rate were found and revealed that the morphological adaptations of the athletes’ hearts are not reflected when stressed in relation to relative workloads (i.e. normalized to heart rate) but instead are reflected with absolute workloads (i.e. normalized to absolute power output watt). Additionally, filling rate emerged as a valuable tool for distinguishing between trained and untrained individuals. Lastly, the studies revealed that training interventions, both in untrained and highly trained subjects, can yield alterations with just a few weeks of exercise training. In untrained subjects, improvements in cardiac function were predominantly evident during stress at absolute load (75w) intensities, with limited effects observed when assessed by relative workloads (i.e., heart rate 140 BPM). In conclusion, this thesis reveals that even a brief period of exercise training can enhance cardiac function in both sedentary and highly trained individuals. Importantly, the findings highlight that current indexing practices result in skewed comparisons due to limited insights from the assessment of resting cardiac function. Furthermore, exercise stress testing emerges as valuable in enhancing functional assessment, especially when evaluating differences between groups.

Abstract Maintaining proteostasis in skeletal muscle is important for muscle quality and has implications for health and disease. The synthesis rate of the many proteins found in skeletal muscle, including contractile proteins and proteins regulating substrate metabolism, is important for maintaining muscle proteostasis. The seminar will discuss our current understanding of protein metabolism in skeletal muscle of humans with obesity. I will present evidence showing that obesity reduces protein synthesis at the whole-muscle level, as well as in distinct muscle protein pools (i.e., myofibrillar, mitochondrial proteins) and at the level of individual muscle proteins, with implications for altering the muscle proteome, and impacting both content and function of muscle proteins. I will discuss biological mechanisms that may impair protein synthesis in muscle of humans with obesity, and present data on the effects of nutrients and exercise on muscle protein synthesis in these individuals. The seminar will conclude with suggestions for future research directions that can advance our understanding of the proteome turnover in muscle of humans with obesity. Research Profile Christos Katsanos is an Exercise Physiologist. He obtained his PhD from Florida State University, and he is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, and Adjunct Faculty at Mayo Clinic - Arizona. He is the Director of the Human Obesity Metabolism (HOMe) Laboratory and the Biology PhD program at Arizona State University. He is a Fellow of the American Physiological Society and the American College of Sports Medicine. His laboratory employs stable isotope tracers, mass spectrometry, and molecular biology methodologies to investigate substrate metabolism in health and disease. Current focus of the laboratory is on characterizing protein metabolism and fiber phenotype in skeletal muscle of humans with obesity. In addition to investigating mechanisms that sustain impaired metabolism in the muscle of humans with obesity, his laboratory studies the roles of exercise and dietary interventions in improving metabolic responses in the muscle of these individuals.

To address this aim we conduced two studies; one study in which healthy recent postmenopausal females (≤ 5 years post menopause) and late postmenopausal females (≥ 10 years post menopause) completed eight weeks of high-intensity exercise training and one study in which lacunar stroke patients and healthy elderly individuals completed one bout of acute exercise. The two studies allowed for an examination of the effect of exercise on the novel biomarker for clot microstructure and platelet reactivity. Focus in the study on the recent and late postmenopausal females was also on the impact of exercise training on properties of isolated muscle microvascular endothelial cells, vascular function and angiogenesis. The main findings of this thesis were that eight weeks of high-intensity exercise training led to reduced clot microstructure and platelet reactivity, indicating a reduced susceptibility to thrombosis, in recent postmenopausal females only (Study I). In addition, exercise training led to increased glycolysis and a decreased production of reactive oxygen species per respiration in microvascular endothelial cells derived from skeletal muscle biopsies of recent postmenopausal females only (Study I). Vascular function and skeletal muscle capillarization remained unaltered with exercise training in both groups (Study I). Both lacunar stroke patients and healthy elderly individuals showed an increase in thrombogenicity in response to acute exercise, however at rest the thrombotic risk was higher in the stroke patients compared to the healthy elderly individuals (Study II). The thesis concluded that initiation of regular exercise training appears to induce more prominent adaptations in the cardiovascular system if initiated soon after, rather than many years after menopause. Additionally, it was concluded that despite a similar exercise induced increase in thrombogenicity in stroke patients and controls, acute exercise might be associated with a greater risk of thrombosis in stroke patients due to the higher resting thrombogenicity.

A2-70.04, Thorvaldsensvej 40, st., Frederiksberg";"PhD defence by Sabina Stoffer Hjorth Andersen";"PhD defence by Sabina Stoffer Hjorth Andersen About the PhD thesis Non- and low-caloric sweeteners (NCS/LCS) have been proposed to promote impaired energy metabolism acutely and over time. As a group, NCS and LCS can be defined as sweeteners and sweetness enhancers (S&SEs). Previous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in humans have overall not found adverse effects on appetite and glucose regulation. Their impact on substrate oxidation and energy expenditure is less explored. This PhD project aimed to investigate how S&SEs affect substrate oxidation, energy expenditure, and appetite. The PhD thesis is built on 4 papers; Paper I systematically reviewed the existing literature assessing the impact of NCS and LCS on substrate oxidation, energy expenditure, and catecholamines compared to caloric sweeteners, water, and various doses and types of NCS and LCS. Paper II presented a 1-year European multicenter RCT assessing prolonged effects of S&SEs on health, obesity, and safety – the SWEET WP3 study. Paper III and IV presented the design and results of an RCT sub-study including participants from SWEET WP3. The aim of this sub-study was to investigate the acute effects of a mixture of acesulfame potassium and cyclamate versus water on postprandial substrate oxidation and energy expenditure, glucose and insulin concentrations, and appetite at baseline, after a 2-month weight loss period, and after a 4–month weight loss maintenance period with either S&SEs or sugar in the diet. Overall, data from the papers included in this thesis find evidence to suggest that NCS have similar effects as water on substrate oxidation and energy expenditure both acutely and in the longer-term. Regarding appetite, Paper IV suggests that acesulfame potassium and cyclamate may induce sensory-specific satiety acutely both at baseline and after regular exposure to S&SEs. For LCS, less data are in general available. However, based on the findings in Paper I, it can be concluded that compared to caloric sweeteners, LCS do not seem do exert any effect on substrate oxidation beyond what can be expected based on their energy load and metabolism. However, more long-term studies are warranted for both NCS and LCS across all outcomes. The studies should include a range of S&SEs and include isoenergetic comparators. 2024, 134 pages.

Det er udøveres mindset, fokus, motivation, følelser mv. vi skal fikse, så de kan trives, udvikle sig, og/eller præstere. Der har de seneste år nærmest gået inflation i disse individualiserede retninger, og det virker til, at den primære opgaver i idrætspsykologien er, vi skal få udøvere til at trække vejret korrekt fremfor at skabe kulturer, hvor det er muligt at trække vejret, som udøverne gerne vil. Baseret på filosoffen Michel Foucalt og grundlæggeren af narrativ terapi Michael White, kan vi få øje på, hvordan den traditionelle idrætspykologiske tilgang bl.a. er objektiverende overfor udøvere. Hvordan der netop er fare for at vi kategoriserer udøverne med vores idrætspsykologiske blik. Det narrative teoretiske fundament åbner op for nye måder både at forstå og handle på, som endnu ikke er helt betrådt endnu. Baseret på cases med eliteudøvere og hold, vil Niels komme med konkrete eksempler på, hvordan man med afsæt i narrativ teori og praksis kan gentænke samtaler, workshops og i det hele taget rollen som mentaltræner.

Abstract Monogenic diseases offer clear insight into the relation between the genome and diseases, but the importance of the host genome in relation to more complex multifactorial diseases has proven more difficult to establish. During the last decades, it has become well established that commensal bacteria extensively colonize external as well as internal surfaces of the human body, and play important roles in relation to metabolism and immune functions. Furthermore, evidence has been presented that the gut microbiota may also affect behavior. However, the exact molecular mechanisms by which bacteria in exert their actions remain elusive. In this lecture, I will summarize recent work from Copenhagen, Shenzhen, and Qingdao demonstrating how distinct changes in the gut and oral microbiota are associated several multifactorial diseases, and how we now by using multi-omics approaches are able to establish causality. I will conclude the lecture by summarizing our recent work linking the gut microbiota to schizophrenia and bipolar depression. Research Profile Karsten Kristiansen is Professor of Molecular Biology and heads the Laboratory of Genomics and Molecular Biomedicine at the Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen. He is also Professor and Director at the Institute of Metagenomics BGI-Research, Shenzhen, China and the Institute of Metagenomics, Qingdao-Europe Advanced Institute for Life Sciences, Qingdao, China. After graduation from the University of Copenhagen, he held research positions at the Max-Planck-Institut für Molekulare Genetik in Berlin and at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, Fondation Edmond de Rothschild, in Paris. He was head of Department of Molecular Biology, later Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark, 1992-2008, before he was recruited as professor and Head of the Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen in 2008. Since 2015 he has shared his time between University of Copenhagen and his institutes in Qingdao and Shenzhen, China. Central themes of the research of Professor Kristiansen concern the interaction between the host genome, the host immune system and the gut microbiota in regulating gut health and energy metabolism, and how interaction between different nutrients modulates energy homeostasis. In addition, his research groups now explore the interaction between the gut microbiota and the brain. Recently, he has initiated work to isolate communities of soil-borne bacteria to be used as bio-pesticides. For these projects, his research groups use a combination of molecular biology approaches, animal and plant studies, metagenomics and genomics. He has published more than 450 articles in refereed journals, many of which in high ranking journals such as Science, Nature, and Cell, and he is a WoS Clarivate highly cited researcher.

One solution is reducing meat consumption, given its ecological footprint. Edible insects are a potential alternative, boasting a protein profile comparable to traditional meats. However, the transition to insects is not solely about their nutritional advantages; it's deeply intertwined with societal and cultural perspectives on food. Across many cultures, meat consumption is deeply ingrained in tradition. To genuinely consider insects as an alternative protein source, there is a need to overcome barriers such as disgust and neophobia. Our studies sought to evaluate the viability of edible insects as a daily substitute for meat in the Danish diet. Both online and in-person classroom interventions were conducted, wherein schoolchildren were introduced to insect-based dishes. Results showed that after being informed and tasting these alternatives, a significant number of children began to associate the concept of sustainability with a willingness to consume insects. A more in-depth intervention involved families - both adults and children - replacing traditional meat with either insect-based or plant-based dinners in their weekly meals. Although there was a noticeable reduction in meat consumption, the intended target of a 20% replacement was not achieved. It is worth noting that the plant-based alternatives seemed to be more acceptable than the insect-based options. One dominant factor hindering the switch to insects appeared to be a strong attachment to meat. Yet, there are positive indications for the future of edible insects. To integrate edible insects successfully into Western diets, a dual focus is essential: improve the quality and presentation of insect-based products and enhance consumer education. Utilizing insects in familiar recipes might ease the transition, making their presence less overt. In summary, while there are evident obstacles to mainstreaming insects in our diets, a combination of improved product development and understanding consumer behavior can make them a sustainable dietary option. 2023, 131 pages.

Diet is a key preventive factor of CMD and a determinant of gut microbiota. Gut microbiota, diet and their interactions have been associated with CMD. In observational studies, diet is measured by self-reported instruments, that need to be validated before use. Gut bacteria vary over time within an individual, making it challenging to study their relationship with health outcomes. Moreover, different dietary patterns may be associated differently with gut microbiota, but few studies exist. The overall aim of this thesis work was to investigate the role of diet, gut microbiota and their interplay in cardiometabolic health. The MAX sub-cohort from the Diet, Cancer and Health – Next generations (DCH-NG) cohort was established to: validate the DCH-NG food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), validate a dietary quality score (DQS) and associate it with CMD risk factors, investigate gut microbiota temporal variability and associate these with dietary patterns and investigate the direct and indirect effects of a healthy Nordic and Mediterranean diet on CMD risk factors, mediated by gut microbiota. The FFQ provided satisfactory ranking of individuals according to energy and nutrient intakes. The DQS was useful to rank individuals into groups of having unhealthy, average and healthy dietary habits. Healthy dietary habits were associated with lower levels of several CMD risk factors. Among bacterial genera, 39% had moderate to good reproducibility (ICC>0.5). Gut microbial subgroups (Bacteroides, Prevotella 9 and Ruminococcaceae) were identified and adherence to plant-based dietary patterns differed between subgroups. Healthy Nordic and Mediterranean diets were associated with lower levels of adiposity, but no indirect effect mediated by gut microbiota (Prevotella-to-Bacteroides ratio) was found. However, healthy Nordic and Mediterranean diets were associated with lower levels of lipidemia and hs-CRP, mediated by adiposity. In conclusion, the DCH-NG FFQ can be used to rank individuals according to dietary intake in epidemiological studies and the DQS is a good indicator of overall diet quality. Different dietary patterns associated differently with gut microbial subgroups and specific genera. There was an effect of diet on CMD risk factors, though this effect was not mediated by the gut microbiota.

The epitranscriptome; Small noncoding RNAs and their modifications in cardiovascular health and disease Associate Professor Yaël Nossent, Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark. Abstract / Research Profile I am a molecular biologist with a particular interest in the role of noncoding RNAs in the cardiovascular system. After completing my postdoc research at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark in Odense (DK), I moved to Leiden (NL) where I started a new research line on microRNAs in vascular remodeling. My group was the first to describe a key role for microRNAs of the DLK1-DIO3 locus in vascular remodeling; in angiogenesis and arteriogenesis, but also in atherosclerosis, restenosis, and in arterial aneurysms. The DLK1-DIO3 locus also encodes other types of small noncoding RNAs however, including long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). I am interested in how all these different RNAs influence the function of our blood vessels, during both health and disease. However, RNA transcripts are not finished products. All RNAs undergo modifications, adding an important layer of regulation that can either (de-)stabilize an RNA, or even change its function. Strikingly, DLK1-DIO3 RNAs are among the most heavily modified RNAs, which affects their function in the cardiovascular system. Modifications of RNAs in our bodies are directly affected by negative stimuli, such as stress or disease, but also for example by positive stimuli such as exercise. I recently moved to Copenhagen, where I aim to investigate how we can use exercise to optimize RNA modification profiles to lower the risk of cardiovascular events, such as acute stroke, in women of all ages.

Circulating and cellular microRNAs involved in metabolic disease Professor Louise Torp Dalgaard, Department of Science and Environment, Roskilde University, Roskilde, Denmark. Abstract Most of the RNA-species made by our cells do not code for proteins. In metabolic disease, dysregulated expression of non-coding RNAs contribute to disease development, but function and role of non-coding RNAs in metabolic disease lacks characterization. Cellular stressors, such nutrition overload and insulin resistance have been linked with increased and changed release of small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs, from cells to the circulation. Major challenges in this research area are to identify how patient phenotypes relate to the composition of RNA-species in the circulation, as well as to characterize how these RNA-species act at their site of expression as well as identify if or how these may function as short- and long-range messengers between cells and tissues. I will present recent data on relationships between circulating microRNAs and prediabetic states. Moreover, I will cover possible mechanisms by which selected microRNAs cause cellular dysfunction. Finally, I will discuss how secreted RNAs may cause short- and long-range signaling in metabolic disease. Research Profile Louise Torp Dalgaard is Professor of Molecular Metabolism at the Department of Science and Environment at Roskilde University, Denmark. Dr. Dalgaard obtained her PhD in Biomedicine in 2001 from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. She then went for post-doctoral training in the lab of Brad Lowell, Endocrine Division of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, USA, from 2001-2003 supported by the Danish Independent Research Council for Medical Sciences. Returning to Denmark, she was an Independent Research Council supported Assistant Professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Genetics, University of Copenhagen. From 2007 she took up a post as Associate Professor in Medical Biology at Roskilde University, in 2017 promoted to Professor (MSO) of Medical Biology, and from 2022 full Professor. She is a member of the Academic Council at Roskilde University and of the Education Committee of the Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Committee. She was organizer of the Danish Diabetes Academy Symposia: MicroRNAs in Metabolism, 2015, Denmark, Non-coding RNAs in Metabolic Disease, 2019 and RNA Mechanisms and Therapeutics in Metabolic Disease, 2021 and she is a partner of the Center for RNA Therapeutics Towards Metabolic Disease (RNA-META). Dr. Dalgaard has focus on mechanisms of the action of microRNAs and the use of microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs as biomarkers for improved classification of complex disease. The primary research aims to uncover how non-coding RNAs are involved in mediating nutrient-induced stress responses in endocrinology. As RNAs are released to the circulation, the Dalgaard group works towards identifying novel RNA-based biomarkers to aid diagnosis and prognosis of metabolic disease and risk of diabetes in susceptible individuals, such as pregnant women at risk for gestational diabetes or women with PCOS. The Dalgaard group further aims to characterize how non-coding RNAs, especially microRNAs regulate cellular metabolism and mitochondrial function, and the function of pancreatic β-cells.

Goodyear PhD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Section Head and Senior Investigator, Joslin Diabetes Center, USA. Abstract The rates of obesity in women of child bearing age have increased dramatically during the last decades, escalating to as much as 35% of the population in some countries. This is an enormous public health problem since emerging data show that obesity during pregnancy can increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in the obese mother’s children, not only when the offspring are young, but when they reach adulthood. This vicious cycle of obesity will continue to fuel the world-wide obesity crisis unless measures are taken to attenuate the transmission of metabolic disease. Our recent studies using animal models demonstrate that physical exercise can prevent this transmission of metabolic disease. In this presentation, the molecular and epigenetic mechanism underlying the benefits of maternal exercise on metabolic health of the offspring will be discussed. This includes the identification of a novel placental-derived protein in mice and human subjects that we find has profound effect on the health of the offspring liver and systemic metabolism. Data will also be presented to show that Vitamin D is necessary for the effects of maternal exercise on offspring health, as well as describing how maternal adipose tissue may play a role in improving offspring health. The long-term goal of the work is to define new treatment strategies, using both exercise and pharmacologic approaches, to end the transmission of metabolic disease in human populations.

Abstract Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in humans and faces near instantaneous changes in demand for force production lasting from seconds to minutes to hours. Initiating and maintaining muscle contraction requires rapid, coordinated movement of signals and material within and among various structures located throughout the relatively large muscle cell. This seminar will focus on how energy is distributed throughout striated muscle cells in order to sustain muscle contractions, deficits in which have been implicated in many pathologies including diabetes and muscular dystrophy as well as aging. In particular, I will discuss how the structure and function of the cellular energy distribution system are optimized as part of the integrated muscle cell to maintain energy homeostasis during the large change in energy demand caused by the onset of muscle contraction.

This thesis aimed to understand the impact of wholegrain intake on growth, body composition, cardiometabolic markers, and gut health in children from infancy to early adolescence. The thesis included findings from two studies: an observational study involving 439 young Danish children and a randomized crossover study with 55 Danish schoolchildren. The results showed that a relative high number of young Danish children met the Danish wholegrain recommendation. In young children, wholegrain intake was linked to lowered plasma LDL-C but not with height or BMI. In schoolchildren, high wholegrain intake from oats and rye positively affected the lipid profile, but did not affect glucose homeostasis, blood pressure or inflammatory markers. Wholegrain intake influenced the gut microbiota and increased the production of bacteria-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) like butyrate, which correlated with reduced LDL-C levels. In the Danish schoolchildren, we also identified different gut microbial clusters at baseline, which affected the response to wholegrain intake. Schoolchildren with a more diverse gut microbiota with butyrate-producing capacity experienced a reduction in fat mass in response to wholegrain consumption. In conclusion, this thesis emphasizes the beneficial impact of wholegrain intake, particularly from oats and rye, on children's health, especially concerning their lipid profile and gut microbiota. Future randomized studies should investigate the effects of wholegrain intake in pre-school children and explore additional mechanisms beyond SCFA.

Lise Dahl Arvedsen er ekstern lektor på Copenhagen Business School, hvor hun bl.a. er fagansvarlig og underviser på Ledelse på Executive MBA og Blue MBA. Introduktion til foredraget Der er i de seneste årtier gået inflation i ledelsesbegrebet. Ledere skal forholde sig til en bundløs overflod af begreber – for flot at nævne nogle af de seneste på stammen finder man regenerativ ledelse, bæredygtig ledelse, medledelse, delt ledelse, generationsledelse, bias ledelse, hybrid ledelse og distance ledelse. Men frem for at øge kompleksiteten af begrebet i en verden og hverdag der i sig selv er kompleks og meget lidt transparent, må der skæres ind til benet af hvad ledelse egentlig handler om – på tværs af de mange eksisterende ledelsesdiscipliner. Og her, helt inde ved kernen, så er ledelse en interaktionel disciplin. Ledelse skabes i relationen mellem mennesker. Ingen følgere ingen leder(e). Og følgeskabet skabes i interaktion på en helt almindelig tirsdag formiddag kl. 10. Det skabes ikke én gang, men er en kontinuerlig proces hvor roller etableres og (gen)forhandles. Baseret på Lises egen forskning, bredere forskning, samt praktiske erfaring inden for ledelsesudvikling sætter hun spot på kernen af ledelse, og behovet for at simplificere samtalen om ledelse. Frem for at se ledelse som en adfærd eller en model der kan tillæres på et kursus peger Lise på at man skal tale om ledelse som et håndværk, hvor lederen kan træne en række kompetencer og værktøjer, der i den rette kontekst og med de rette relationer kan skabe ledelse. Afslutningsvist i foredraget giver Lise et bud på hvad man skal have blik for i arbejdet med at udvikle ledere. Med rod i et analytisk blik for kontekst og selvet bliver det den dialogiske praksis der er kernen i at lykkes med ledelse – uanset om kontekst er hybrid, online, og global eller om man skal arbejde med generationskløfter, inklusion, forandringsledelse eller noget helt tredje.

The overall aim of this thesis is to provide scientific evidence and add to the current knowledge on the suitability of insects as food and feed. This thesis is based on two experimental studies and one review. Paper I investigated the protein quality of the five insect species (LMW, Alphitobius diaperinus; YMW, Tenebrio molitor; HC, Acheta domesticus; BC, Gryllodes sigillatus; and BSF, Hermetia illucens). The LMW, HC and BC were categorized for having good quality protein sources for older age groups. The sulphur amino acids were first limiting AAs for LMW, YMW, HC and BC and lysine for BSF for age ˃ six months. While assessing the protein quality of insects using DIAAS, the standard nitrogen to protein conversion of 6.25 needs reconsideration to account for non-protein-nitrogen present in insects, thereby underestimating the DIAAS of insects. Paper II investigated how the partial replacement of soybean protein concentrate in weaned piglet diets with three insect species relevant for animal feed, LMW, YMW and BSF affects growth performance and various gut health parameters. The study found that the insect-based diets were comparable to soybean protein concentrate-based diets. For gut health parameters, a reduction in plasma DAO levels indicated the protection of the intestinal mucosa barrier function in piglets fed with mealworm-based diets. More research is necessary to understand the advantages and disadvantages of using insects as feed for weaned piglets. Overall, the protein quality of insects, and their comparable growth performance to that of conventional feed, and positive impact on gut health parameters highlight their suitability as viable alternatives. These findings expand our knowledge and pave the way for a more sustainable and innovative approach to food and feed production.

There is no consensus on the ideal dietary plan for controlling body weight and inducing weight loss, as people respond differently to the same treatment. This variability can be attributed to factors like genetics, food absorption, metabolism, and behavior. Tailoring dietary treatments according to individual metabolic profiles, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, shows promise for optimizing obesity treatment. As highlighted by Garrod's concept of ""biochemical individuality"" over a century ago: “…just as no two individuals of a species are absolutely identical in bodily structure, neither are their chemical processes carried out on exactly the same lines”. This PhD project investigated the weight loss efficacy of the European PREVENTOMICS platform that provides personalized nutritional plans to individuals with overweight or obesity. Using machine-learning techniques, the platform classified 100 individuals into five plant-based diet clusters based on their metabolic profile and genetic background. A randomized control intervention for 10 weeks found no additional benefits in personalizing the diet compared to using a generic approach. The personalized and control treatments were predominantly plant-based diets, and both were equally effective in improving body weight and overall health. In addition, classifying participants based on their baseline gut microbial taxa of Prevotella to Bacteroides ratio did not predict weight loss outcomes. The clusters supplemented with inulin-type fructans on top of this naturally high fiber diet experienced changes in gut microbiome composition (with selective growth of Bifidobacterium and Faecalibacterium) and reduced microbial diversity, coupled with attenuation of certain cardiometabolic benefits. In summary, this PhD thesis found that personalized nutrition based on metabotyping did not prove to be superior to general dietary guidelines for successful weight loss and improved health outcomes. Future studies should assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of more simplified precision nutrition methods while validating weight loss biomarkers. Interventions should consider behavior and environmental factors contributing to obesity for better weight control. A comprehensive, holistic, and interdisciplinary approach is crucial to effectively combat obesity. Download Table of contents; Publications; Summary; Summary in Danish. 2023, 136 pages.

The ultimate goal for research looked at exploring wearable devices and associated digital technology to deliver interventions aimed to increase exercise while measuring psychological variables such as stress. A foundation was initially set by a systematic review and meta-analysis on binary correlations between physical activity and key variables such as selfefficacy, self-regulation, and anxiety measured using validated questionnaires. A continued interest in exploring psychometric tools and their validation in sport drove the analysis of motivation scales and structural equation modelling in a cohort of Italian rugby players. With the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, community-based sports activities stopped, and the way in which exercise was performed and measured rapidly changed, as I highlighted in the report “Physical activity: Benefits and challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic”. In this unexpected scenario, government agencies as well as private entities and academic institutions applied digital technology to deliver health and wellbeing messages. The use of novel tools was beneficial while facing an increased sedentarism occurring during restrictions and lock-down periods. The study performed, involving office workers and electronically delivering exercise interventions in the form of active breaks, showed improvement in wellbeing and stress reduction. Finally, the last study presented can be viewed as a marker in time, as people return to normality, exercising and performing their normal routine but with a new emphasis in keeping track of their own health and wellbeing through wearable technology, following the change in measuring physical and psychological variables consolidated during the pandemic. The results met the intended goal to successfully provide a message-based, digitally delivered intervention aimed at increasing exercise and reducing stress, using wearables to measure the outcome. Moreover, the comparison of wearable-associated stress (based on physiological stimuli) with self-reported stress using a validated questionnaire (e.g., Perceived Stress Scale-10) showed a promising connection. I intend to continue in this direction to further explore benefits and limitations of digital technology in sport and exercise psychology. 2023, 186 pages. Download Summary; Contents.

Findings from the included papers suggest that, even in mothers without obesity, maternal adiposity may affect concentrations of appetite-regulating hormones in human milk. The pathway by which the hormones arrive in the milk is partly mediated through the maternal circulation and to a higher degree for mothers with overweight compared to normalweight . Furthermore, plasma lipid concentrations and metabolic alterations during pregnancy may influence foetal growth possibly through the placenta. Finally, cytokines in human milk differed among the four populations in the MILQ study, which could reflect different environmental exposures reflected in human milk composition.

However, other factors related to the gut environment such as gut transit time and pH are often overlooked and the current knowledge of the role of these factors on gut microbial metabolism (diet-microbiota interactions) in humans is limited. Thus, the overall objective of this PhD thesis was to explore the possible links between gut transit time and pH, and diet-microbiota interactions in humans. This was achieved through reviewing the current body of scientific evidence, investigating the effects of whole-grain vs refined-grain diets on colonic fermentation and bowel function, and conducting a 9-day study with healthy Danish volunteers. In the review, we found rather strong evidence that gut transit time varies between and within individuals and that these differences are linked to human gut microbiome composition and potentially gut microbial metabolism. Moreover, the whole-grain diet led to an increased faecal concentration of beneficial microbial metabolites (short-chain fatty acids butyrate and caproate) as well as to increased defecation frequency when compared to the refined-grain diet, emphasizing the benefits of whole grains. Lastly, we showed that colonic transit time and pH and their proxy markers (stool moisture, faecal pH) significantly contributed to variations in urine metabolome and/or gut microbiome in healthy Danish adults, which has not been shown before. While shorter transit time was associated with higher faecal concentrations of beneficial short-chain fatty acids, longer transit time was associated with higher levels of potentially harmful metabolites deriving from microbial metabolism of proteins. In summary, this thesis demonstrates that transit time and pH within the gastrointestinal tract are important determinants not only of the gut microbiome composition but importantly also of diet-microbiota interactions. 2023, 192 pages.

Coaching beskrives her som transformativ dialog, som resonansrelation, der bygger på øjeblikke af symmetri og en dyb medmenneskelighed, som til syvende og sidst giver mulighed for ny erkendelse for alle parter i samtalen, uanset om det er en samtale mellem to parter eller i grupper/team. Transformative dialoger går i dybden, sætter fokus på mening, værdirefleksion og etisk forankring. Foredraget inspirereres af Hartmut Rosas begreb resonans, som overføres til dialogkonteksten. Frit gengivet siger Rosa: Relationens entiteter berøres gensidigt i et svingningsegnet medium eller et resonansrum, hvor parter kan give svar til hinanden og hvor de samtidigt kan tale med egen stemme ved at give genlyd.

Abstract Cellular differentiation is driven by the coordinated action of many different transcription factors that cooperate to activate lineage selective gene programs. Transcriptional master regulators play a special role as obligate molecular switches driving the activation of the differentiated gene regulatory network. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) are master regulators of adipogenesis where they cooperate to directly activate the expression of the adipocyte gene program. Major unanswered questions are 1) how these master regulators are regulated such that they can be effectively induced under the right conditions and at the same time avoid premature induction; and 2) which biochemical/biophysical properties of these proteins allow them to act as master regulators once expressed at sufficiently high levels. I will present recent genomic and molecular insights into how the PPARG locus is activated in preadipocytes in response to the adipogenic inducers as well as recent data related to the biochemical features of PPARγ that may contribute to the ability of this transcription factor to act as a master regulator. Finally, I will discuss how genomic variations in the PPARG lead to human diseases.

However, studies consistently show large interindividual variation in response to the same dietary treatment, hence a more personalized diet might minimize this variation. The new concept metabotyping, which involves categorizing individuals into smaller, more similar subgroups based on their metabolic phenotype, holds promise for precision nutrition. Accordingly, the objective of this thesis was to explore the potential of metabotyping for optimizing weight loss success in response to diet treatment among individuals with obesity. Firstly, a randomized controlled trial was designed and conducted to test the efficacy of individualized diet treatments driven by literature-defined metabotypes, compared to generic dietary recommendations, during a 10-week nutrition intervention. The study demonstrated no additional benefit of personalizing dietary plans over a generic approach on the change in fat mass and body weight in individuals with overweight or obesity and elevated waist circumference. Secondly, a prediction model was developed to predict weight loss success for subjects with following a New Nordic Diet by utilizing baseline metabolomics data. A model with urinary levels of adipic acid and argininic acid was identified to provide a predictive signature for distinguishing weight loss responders and non-responders at baseline. These metabolites could potentially be a point of direction for new metabotypes that respond differently on a fiber-rich diet. Lastly, other factors than biological or metabolic variables, such as behavioral and psychological factors, which potentially could influence the outcome of a weight loss intervention were reviewed. Here, it became evident that the variation in weight loss responses may partly be explained by differences between individuals in a variety of behavioral and psychological factors, which emerged as important parameters for successful weight loss. Collectively, this work suggests that there is still much work to be done for optimizing personalized approaches to dietary recommendations for successful weight loss. Future studies should be designed with much more careful consideration of the definition of the metabotypes, and target dietary recommendations on the diet level rather than at the level of specific foods. Last but not least, future studies should also track a variety of behavioral and psychological factors that could affect weight loss outcomes.

Energy availability, which is determined by the difference between energy intake and exercise energy expenditure, is affected by selected environmental and energetic stresses (e.g., high-altitude, exercise, diet/nutrition). Systemic energy deficits have implications for the regulation of organ-specific metabolism. This thesis provides novel insights for integrative brain, skeletal muscle, and systemic substrate oxidation and relative fuel utilization in the context of environmental and energetic stress (e.g., high-altitude, exercise, nutritional caloric deficits). Experiments included: metabolism in the brain in response to CO2; the brain’s inflammatory response to maximal exercise following 6-8 days of acclimatization at 3,800 m; and a diet intervention in females involving 14-days of effectively 50% caloric restriction while maintaining 8 hours of endurance training per week.

While the pharmacological effects of these hormones and their significant impact on energy metabolism have been extensively investigated in mice, their physiological roles remain incompletely understood in both mice and humans. To address this, the physiological effects of endogenous plasma GDF15 levels on appetite following a single bout of exercise or metformin administration in both humans and mice was investigated. Additionally, the impact of increased endogenous plasma FGF21 levels, induced by a prolonged eucaloric protein-restricted diet, on energy utilization was investigated in lean male volunteers. Our findings revealed that the endogenous GDF15 levels increased following exercise and metformin administration but was dispensable for the changes in appetite seen with both interventions. Additionally, we observed that a protein-restricted diet led to increased endogenous FGF21 levels and enhanced energy utilization, suggesting that a protein-restricted diet has the potential to prevent weight gain and the development of obesity.

August Krogh Club The Path to Insulin Resistance Prof. David James University of Sydney, Australia Summary Insulin resistance represents a defect in the ability of insulin to regulate glucose metabolism with notable defects in insulin regulated glucose uptake into muscle cells. It is critical to dissect the mechanistic basis of insulin resistance as it is one of the earliest defects that contributes to a series of diseases that comprise the metabolic syndrome. One of the conundrums has been that several disparate factors have been implicated in cellular insulin resistance including lipids like ceramides or diacylglycerides, mitochondrial defects and reactive oxygen species (ROS). We have previously shown that insulin resistance is associated with lower CoQ levels in mitochondria and that this contributes to increased mitochondrial ROS and insulin resistance. We have obtained new evidence linking some of these factors together in what we refer to as an Insulin Resistance Pathway. August Krogh Club Insulin resistance in a dish: not about insulin signalling Prof. Amira Klip University of Toronto, Canada Summary Insulin resistance in vivo is a complex trait, but it is typically scored by diminished and delayed removal of dietary glucose from the blood. This function is primarily dictated by insulin-induced uptake of dietary glucose into skeletal muscle, a phenomenon underlied by reduced insulin-dependent mobilization of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. The majority of studies to date have searched for defects in insulin signalling to understand the molecular underpinnings of insulin resistance. In the reductionary system of muscle cell culture, one can study insulin-derived signals and the defining step of GLUT4 translocation to the membrane. Moreover, this step can be rendered insulin-resistant by incubating the cells with saturated fatty acids. In this muscle-cell autonomous insulin resistance model, we recently observed that: i) the perinuclear GLUT4 compartment storage is dispersed compared to its compact location in insulin-sensitive cells; ii) the cortical actin cytoskeleton is unresponsive to stimuli; and iii) upon insulin stimulation, surface GLUT4 levels do not rise as in control cells. We will discuss how these alterations in basal-state distribution of GLUT4 and loss of actin filament dynamics arise, predisposing the cells to respond sub-optimally to insulin. August Krogh Club Identification of a genetic health variant that protects from metabolic disease Senior Research Fellow, PhD. Jacqueline Stoeckli University of Sydney, Australia Summary Metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes are caused by a complex interaction between genetics and the environment. We searched for ‘health’ genes by studying a genetically diverse panel of outbred mice fed two different diets (chow versus western diet). By classifying mice based on metabolic health, we identified a genome wide significant quantitative trail locus that was associated with metabolic health. Using systems genetics largely involving genetic analysis of tissue specific proteomes in a subset of mice, we pinpointed a causal gene at this locus. August Krogh Club New insights of AMPK function in skeletal muscle by integrative omics Prof. Zhen Yan University of Virginia, USA Summary Using a combination of acute and chronic endurance exercise training in genetically modified AMPKalpha2 (T172A) and Ulk1 (S555A) knock-in mice with phosphoproteomics and metabolomics, we have improved our understanding of the role of AMPK-Ulk1 regulatory exis in striated muscle adaptation in response to exercise training, indicating the importance of AMPK activation in glycolysis control during exercise.

Yet adults in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), particularly PLWH, have significant levels of physical inactivity and poor cardiorespiratory fitness, which raises concerns about a high risk of diabetes and mortality. This doctoral dissertation examines the levels and correlates of physical activity in adults, changes in physical activity among PLWH following the start of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and also assessed the relationships between physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness and beta-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus. The thesis further explored social and cultural elements that affect physical activity in more detail. We found that physical activity levels and capacity vary by HIV status, and that PLWH have poor levels of both due to HIV-related health problems, as opposed to HIV-uninfected individuals, whose poor levels of both were associated with anemia and obesity. Running, walking, and rope skipping, house chores were found to be the most popular forms of physical activity and, that these practices were deeply ingrained in the gender roles and stereotypes that were already prevalent in the community. PLWHs also believe that physical activity is good for their health, regardless of how much or what kind of physical activity they engage in. Also, we discovered that physical activity improves beta-cell function and lowers the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. These findings are novel in that they will help guide the development of contextually based physical activity programs that will encourage physical activity and lower the risk of diabetes mellitus in adults, especially PLWH in Tanzania however, further research is needed to assess these associations of physical activity and diabetes mellitus and explore social and cultural aspects in detail among PLWH and adult population as whole.

Institut for Idræt og Ernæring inviterer til debat om Fremtidens Forebyggelse i teltet hos Københavns Universitet. Sundhed og trivsel er en forudsætning for, at danskerne kan leve det liv, de ønsker. Men danskernes sundhed er under pres. Op imod 20% af alle danske børn og unge er overvægtige, når de går ud af skolen, og blandt de voksne er mere end halvdelen overvægtige. Samtidig bærer omkring 600.000 voksne danskere rundt på psykisk sygdom. Samlet set har det stor betydning for den enkeltes liv og trivsel, og det har stor betydning for sundhedsvæsen og arbejdsmarked. Men en stor del af sundhedsudfordringerne kan forebygges. Spørgsmålet er dog, hvorfor det halter det med forebyggelsen, når der konstant udvikles ny viden om, hvad der skal til for, at vi kan leve sundt? Og hvorfor har sundhedsudfordringerne en markant social slagside? Det er tilsyneladende ikke viden, der mangler. Hvad er det så? Debat om fremtidens forebyggelse Institut for Idræt og Ernæring byder velkommen til debatten ’Fremtidens Forebyggelse’. Til debatten i Københavns Universitets telt har vi samlet nogle af de fremmeste beslutningstagere og forskere på området og stiller spørgsmålet om, hvordan – og om – vi i fremtiden kan sikre alle en mulighed for et sundt liv i trivsel og udvikling? Herunder vil vi blandt andet debattere Hvad er sundhed? Hvorfor er forebyggelse vigtigt – og har det ulemper? Er fysisk sundhed en forudsætning for et liv i trivsel? Er der forskel på, hvordan unge og voksne ser på sundhed og forebyggelse? Hvordan vil forebyggelse se ud i fremtiden? Har vi brug for mere viden? Som tilhører vil du blandt andet få til opgave at hjælpe panelet med at prioritere i forebyggelsesindsatserne og afprøve et af virkemidlerne i fremtidens forebyggelse.

Afsluttede sin karriere i 2021. Ansat som konsulent og coach Hos Copenhagen Coaching center. I gang med at færdiggøre sin master i business Coaching og uddanne sig til psykoterapeut. Jesper har siden han var 5 år gammel levet det meste af sit liv på håndboldbanen, indtil han i en alder af 41 år afsluttede sin professionelle håndboldkarriere. I dag kan han se tilbage på en fantastisk rejse med sporten, som både har budt på enorme opture og dybe nedture. Og alt dét, der ligger imellem. Det var dér, i spændingsfeltet mellem de følelsesmæssige yderpoler, at Jesper første gang fandt et helle i samtalen - og den har siden haft en vigtig indflydelse på Jespers liv og nu også videre, professionelle karriere. Samtalen og specielt den filosofisk inspirerede samtale har udvidet Jespers eget blik på livet på højtryk i præstationens spor, som, når bølgerne går allerhøjest, kan føles meget ensomt, selvom man er en del af et hold. At føle at man står alene og måske også føle sig ensom og så finde sin vej tilbage til fællesskabet har haft en stor betydning for Jesper. Introduktion til foredraget I dette foredrag fortæller Jesper om, hvordan han i dag gennem samtaler forsøger at støtte andre sports- og fagfolk i at finde sin egen vej i et arbejdsliv med højt præstationspres og op- og nedture. Uden at miste flyvehøjde, men også uden at sælge ud af sig selv. For mange er det en stor udfordring at skulle præstere maksimalt som fagperson og samtidig passe godt på sig selv som menneske. Følelser som ensomhed, skyld og skam, utilstrækkelighed og ikke at være god nok, rumsterer tit på indersiden, mens man kæmper for succes på ydersiden. Og skjuler sin bekymring for at fejle og blive smidt af banen. Professionelle dialoger kan ikke tage denne indre kamp fra nogen. Men det kan hjælpe med at få øje på den – få øje på sig selv i den – og finde måder til at rumme og støtte sig selv på rejsen. Og måske endda blive bedre til at sætte ord på de indre op- og nedture, så andre får mod til at gøre det samme.

Stunting, or having a height-for-age that is more than two standard deviations below the reference median is associated with impaired physical and cognitive development and later chronic disease risk. Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a state of chronic inflammation of the small intestinal mucosa, is thought to play a role. EED is widespread among children living in settings where basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are lacking and is thought to be driven by pathogen burden in combination with unmet nutrient requirements. Biomarkers are being explored to explain the functional implications of EED in stunting. The main objective of this PhD thesis was to explore EED using selected biomarkers and investigate the interaction between nutrition intervention and EED in children with stunting. This thesis is based on data from the MAGNUS trial. A community based 2x2 factorial trial among stunted children aged 12-59 months in Eastern Uganda. Children were randomised to large-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) containing milk protein (MP) and/or whey permeate (WP) or to no supplementation for 12 weeks. Correlates of plasma citrulline (p-cit), a marker of enterocyte mass and a candidate marker of EED were explored as well as the effects of the LNS on markers of EED; p-cit and faecal myeloperoxidase (f-MPO), a marker of intestinal inflammation. Finally, the state of the gut was explored as a modifier of the LNS effect on growth and micronutrient status. Many of the factors that correlated with p-cit would be expected in environments of EED. These findings underscore that large quantity LNS interventions are insufficient in themselves to improve EED. Moreover, the beneficial effect of the nutrition intervention on B12 status seemed to be reduced in those with low enterocyte mass at baseline. Perhaps the effectiveness of nutrition interventions would be improved if delivered together with transformative WASH interventions that sustainably reduce the pathogen burden and allow for adequate mucosal repair.

Abstract Body fat distribution and adipocyte functionality are determinants of metabolic health in a depot-dependent fashion. The ability to activate brown fat (BAT) in response to cold, associates with cardiometabolic health, whereas accumulation of lipids in the visceral adipose depot associates with cardiometabolic disease. The underlying mechanisms for these correlations remains elusive and motivates further comparisons of adipose depots in humans. The prevalence of cold-activated BAT declines with age, whereas dormant BAT exist in most adults. Seasonal and individual differences suggest a plasticity in BAT activity and a potential for BAT reactivation. If BAT plays an active role in metabolic regulation, restoring this function could improve human metabolic health. We are investigating the role of BAT secreted factors, so called batokines, in thermogenic differentiation as well as organ cross talk.

He is Assistant Professor of Sport and Health Psychology and co-director of the Coaching Psychology Unit at the University of Copenhagen, a Chartered Psychotherapist, and Certified Executive Coach. Session Socratic questioning is a method in coaching that aims to unfold the objective ‘truth’ behind a given matter, using questions that unveil what is implicitly known or disentangle the contradictions of a person’s beliefs. Socratic questioning can help to set focus on specific challenges, goals, and behaviors. As such, at a first glance Socratic Questioning fits well both “problem-and-goal” and “solution-future scenarios” approaches to coaching. However, Socratic Questioning could be re-interpreted to serve a twofold, hierarchical purpose in coaching. At the lower level, and in the short-term, Socratic questioning’s goal is indeed to “guide discovery” in the interlocutors, which in turn helps the coachee to overcome specific challenges. However, drawing upon a Third Generation Coaching perspective, we suggest a higher-order, long-term purpose of Socratic questioning: that is, to create partnership, moments of symmetry, and resonance in the dialogue partners, which allows for meaning-making, self-reflection, shared-reflection, and shift in narrators’ perspectives. After all, it was Socrates himself that practiced boêtheia (partnership) and maieutikós (midwifery) in his dialogues, clearly denoting his ethics’ collaborative and co-creative orientation. In this Third Generation Coaching understanding, which highlights that true change occurs through meaningful experiences in the here and now of meaningful coaching dialogues, Socratic Questioning helps fostering long-lasting, value-based personal growth in all dialogue partners beyond the achievement of a specific goal.

One suggested approach is to target the beta2-adrenoceptor with beta2-adrenoceptor agonist due to the beneficial effects on whole-body insulin sensitivity after long-term treatment in humans. However, less is known about the impact of acute beta2-adrenoceptor agonist on glucometabolic regulation in muscle and how this may influence the therapeutic potential of beta2-adrenoceptor agonists in type II diabetes. Utilizing the invasive methodologies arteriovenous catheterization and muscle biopsy collection throughout three studies combined with state-of-the-art muscle analyses such as muscle metabolomics, this thesis seeks to delineate the acute effect of beta2-agonist on muscle glucometabolic regulation in humans at rest, during exercise, in recovery from exercise and during insulin stimulation. The broad characterization of the impact of acute beta2 -adrenoceptor agonist during different conditions allows this thesis to broaden the knowledge about the glucometabolic regulation by beta2-adrenoceptor agonist in muscle in humans and to assess howthis may influence the therapeutic potential of beta2-adrenoceptor agonist in humans going forward.

Regular endurance training improves exercise capacity, but the extent of improvement varies between individuals. Thus, it is highly important to investigate why humans differ in their adaptability to exercise training. It has been suggested that the well-described angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism affects the adaptation to exercise training by determining the ACE activity phenotype. Importantly, the ACE phenotype can be manipulated pharmacologically by ACE inhibitors. The present thesis aimed to investigate the importance of ACE activity for exercise training adaptability in healthy individuals and patients with coronary artery disease. Through exercise training interventions in healthy individuals and patients with coronary artery disease, and by obtaining a high number of physiological measurements before and after the interventions, the impact of the ACE I/D genotype for adaptation to exercise training was evaluated by determining the ACE genotype in all participants. In addition, by randomizing the healthy individuals to exercise training combined with ACE inhibitor treatment or exercise training combined with placebo, the impact of pharmacological ACE inhibition on multiple training-sensitive variables was established. The results from the present thesis demonstrated that the magnitude of exercise-training-induced improvements in exercise capacity was independent of the ACE genotype in healthy individuals and patients with coronary artery disease. However, augmented lean body mass and left atrial volume expansion induced by exercise training in healthy individuals were abolished by concomitant ACE inhibition. Furthermore, ACE inhibitors appeared to reduce red blood cell volume but not exercise capacity gains in healthy individuals. Future studies should establish whether these findings can be replicated in relevant patient groups and whether treatment periodization can augment the outcome of exercise training in patient groups commonly treated with ACE inhibitors.

Nevertheless, roughly 15 % of Danish school children have poor reading abilities and it raises concerns. How to enhance children’s reading skills is therefore an important question. Movement in close connection with the learning content, embodied learning, has previously been seen to be an effective tool to improve academic performance within mathematics and second language. However, it is still unknown whether embodied learning is an effective tool to improve literacy skills for children’s first language. Therefore and to this aim, this thesis aimed to investigate the effects of meaningful movements in close connection to the learning content on pre-reading skills, word reading, and spelling performance in children through three different school projects. The present results of the thesis provide us with a basic understanding of how embodied learning may have a positive effect on children’s literacy performance. Furthermore, it also provides evidence and understanding of which forms of movement are beneficial for improving pre-reading skills and spelling performance.

However, the molecular signals inducing these health benefits are largely unknown. By illuminating the global phosphorylation status of proteins in human skeletal muscle following endurance, sprint, and resistance exercise, this PhD project found a core set of phosphorylation sites regulated in all exercise modalities. Further, the role of the protein complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDC), important for insulin sensitivity, was investigated in humans following exercise. Using different human exercise models and state-of-the-art methods for measuring signal transduction and insulin sensitivity in vivo, this PhD project provides a greater understanding of proteins regulated with exercise and shows an important function of PDC in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake after exercise.

This is a problem, because there is clear evidence that physical activity and well-being are essential for reducing the major problems with non-communicable chronic diseases that society faces today. Unfortunately, interventions that aim to increase children's physical activity levels are either not effective or have no long-term effect. It is therefore important to promote children's prerequisites for participation in different contexts for physical activity throughout their lives in a way that also foster a positive and meaningful experience. In other words, it is important to target determinants of physical activity and well-being, such as physical literacy. Physical literacy contains an affective, a physical and a cognitive domain, which together lay the foundation for the individual's capacity and tendency to participate in physical activities here and now and throughout life. Physical literacy is often defined as the “the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life”. Other than being important for physical activity, physical literacy is believed to be essential for the well-being in physical activity contexts, and therefore also overall well-being. The aim of this thesis was to investigate four direct and indirect associations between physical literacy, physical activity and well-being. This aim was reached by conducting three cross-sectional studies, synthesizing the results across the three studies and combining the results with previous evidence and theoretical perspectives from physical literacy and self-determination theory. With this thesis, I contribute with high-quality evidence on the assumed link between children’s and adolescents’ physical literacy, physical activity participation and well-being as well as provide expanded knowledge of why physical literacy may be important for well-being and continuous physical activity participation. Results of this thesis indicate that physical literacy is important for well-being above and beyond daily amount of physical activity levels, and that physical literacy is important for engagement in physical activities, which may have long-term health implications. Strategies and initiatives should be designed to promote and develop children’s and adolescents’ physical literacy.

To celebrate the appointment of Professor Magkos the department invites colleagues and friends to attend an inaugural lecture with the title 'On how following your academic passion “can take you places” ... both literally and metaphorically' followed by an informal reception at the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Science on Frederiksberg Campus. Abstract for the inaugural lecture When I was a postgraduate student, I did not care much about my diet and I only liked researching exercise, rather than doing it. Results from a series of experiments led me to propose a mechanistic model by which exercise decreases blood triglyceride concentrations. Hypotriglyceridemia after exercise is the net result of changes in lipid metabolism in the periphery (accelerated triglyceride removal rate), which are initiated by remote changes in protein metabolism in the liver (decreased lipoprotein particle secretion rate). This highlights the intricate coordination between different organs in the integration and regulation of metabolism at the whole-body level in humans. Obesity disrupts this fine metabolic regulation, so I wondered why. Traditionally, the metabolic complications of obesity have been associated with accumulation of fat in the visceral adipose tissue (the “metabolic villain”). By contrast, I demonstrated that accumulation of fat in the liver is a more important determinant - or cause - of metabolic dysfunction than visceral fat, and that changes in liver fat are likely key for worsened metabolic function after weight gain and improved metabolic function after weight loss. Subsequently, I realized that accumulation of fat in the liver and visceral adipose tissue can also occur in people with normal body weight and no excess total body fat, and this is accompanied by metabolic dysfunction which is characteristic of obesity. Although weight loss rescues this phenotype, it is not a practical treatment modality for people who are already lean. Therefore, I asked whether qualitative changes in the diet, independent of weight loss, can affect metabolic function. I tested higher-protein lower-carbohydrate diets under a variety of physiological scenarios and found that these diets reduce liver fat and improve metabolic risk factors independent of concomitant changes in body weight. At this point in my academic journey, I became a professor who watches what he eats and exercises a lot! Biosketch Area of expertise The study of human metabolism lies at the core of Faidon’s research interests and activity. His studies have shed light into the effects of diet and exercise on insulin sensitivity and lipid kinetics; the importance of ectopic fat deposition in the liver in metabolic dysfunction in people with and without obesity; the beneficial effects of weight loss on insulin action and beta-cell function; and the role of low-carbohydrate/high-protein diets in weight loss maintenance and the management of type 2 diabetes. Educational and professional background Faidon holds a Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics, a Master in Nutrition and Exercise, and a PhD in Metabolism. He completed postdoc appointments at Harokopio University (Athens) and Harvard Medical School (Boston). Earlier, he served as Assistant Professor in Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Assistant Professor in the National University of Singapore, and Associate Professor in the University of Copenhagen.

Despite the existing therapies, hypertension remains poorly controlled. Therefore, it is crucial to improve our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension, which may provide new therapeutic targets to treat hypertension. Vascular smooth muscle cells within the wall of an artery facilitate constriction and dilation and thus play a key role in determining total peripheral resistance. Voltage-gated K+ channels from the Kv7 family, namely Kv7.4 and Kv7.5, are particularly important regulators of VSMCs contractility in different rodent and human arteries. Furthermore, Kv7 channels are downstream targets for cAMP-dependent receptor-mediated vasodilation, including β-adrenergic receptors. The trafficking of these ion channels and receptors into and away from the cell membrane must be carefully controlled to maintain an appropriate vascular tone. One mechanism of protein trafficking within the cell is along the microtubule network. The motor protein dynein can move along the microtubule network to transport cargoes away from the cell membrane towards the minus-end. This PhD thesis aimed to investigate the role of the motor protein dynein on the microtubule-dependent trafficking of Kv7 channels in vascular smooth muscle and investigate whether pharmacologically interfering with dynein trafficking or disrupting the microtubule network could improve vascular tone in hypertensive arteries. In study I, we demonstrated that dynein binds to Kv7.4 channels, and that dynein inhibition increased the Kv7 channel membrane expression and function, causing enhanced vasorelaxations in rat arteries. In arteries from hypertensive rats, Kv7.4 protein expression and function are reduced, partially underlying the attenuated β-adrenoceptor-mediated relaxation. We found in study II, that microtubule depolymerization and dynein inhibition in arteries from hypertensive rats improved Kv7.4 channel function, thereby restoring the β-adrenoceptor-mediated relaxations. We conducted a human clinical trial in study III, providing translational evidence that acute colchicine treatment can improve the β-adrenoceptor-mediated vasodilation in hypertensive humans. Together, these studies suggest that colchicine may be a promising novel therapeutic agent for hypertension and thereby reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease. 2022, 186 pages.

Introduktion til foredraget Ved at lukke relationelt mod ind på arbejdspladsen, kan vi vokse os større som fællesskab. På arbejdet er der rig mulighed for at lære at tage os af hinanden. Forstået ikke alene som at passe på hinanden, men også at give plads til at vi alle kan bringe mere af os selv med ind i arbejdets rum og derigennem skabe en kultur hvor mod er alfa omega. Vejen til relationelt mod (be wild) understøttes af praksisser fra genoprettende retfærdighed hvor langsom dialog/slow dialogue gør os lydhør overfor hinandens følelser og behov (be seen), samt gennem filosofisk praksis om at indse den menneskelige eksistentielle spændvidde (be wide). Konsekvent åbner dette op for at have mod til at navigere forskellighed og turde konflikten hvis den opstår. Der er ingen opskrift på det endegyldige arbejdsmiljø. I opretholdelsen af for fastlagte strukturer for kommunikation går medmenneskeligheden ofte tabt, så hvis vi styrker vores relationelle mod, træner vores cognition for improvising, kan vi møde hinanden i arbejdsrelationer som er levende, forandringsbare, og lærerige.

Our understanding of the adaptive responses in skeletal muscle to exercise training has advanced due to various omic approaches; yet the functional consequences of many players involved in these processes are not defined. In the present PhD study, I aimed to uncover the role of two new potential regulators of training-mediated health benefits: SRA stem-loop interacting RNA-binding protein (SLIRP) and Traf2- and Nck interacting protein kinase (TNIK). In addition, mechanisms of actions of SLIRP and TNIK in skeletal muscle biology and the adaptive response to ET were evaluated separately. This PhD project provides novel insights into the complexity of adaptive responses of skeletal muscle and non-skeletal-muscle tissues, including liver and adipose tissue in response to ET and/or diet. My findings underline exercise training as a frontline strategy against mitochondrial and metabolism-associated diseases and further suggest TNIK as potential pharmacological target to inspire the conception of new therapeutic strategies against metabolism-associated diseases in obesity.

Our ability to walk, and precisely adapt our steps according to the environment, is a fundamental motor behavior for us as humans. The way the human CNS controls these behaviors is not well understood; a lot of what we know about the control of movement is based on studies of upper-limb movements like reaching or finger tapping, and prior work has focused on understanding contributions from CNS regions from an isolated rather than integrated perspective. Understanding how CNS regions communicate during lower limb movements and walking will further our understanding of basic functional control mechanisms and in the long term may provide a basis for developing evidence-based rehabilitation strategies. The five studies included in this thesis aim to investigate the communication and interaction between different regions of the human CNS during simple ankle movements and during more complex and functional stepping movements. We used frequency domain connectivity analysis and modelling approaches to study interaction between the brain and ankle muscle extit{tibialis anterior}, as well as among different brain regions using electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and electromyography (EMG). The results suggest that the strength of connectivity is related to force control in a complex manner, which indicates that it has functional significance. Further, connectivity strength exhibits age-related differences across childhood development and adult aging, suggesting that this connectivity may represent a maturational phenomenon.

Introduktion til foredraget ”Jeg tror på lidelsens værdi, så længe den enkelte gør sig enhver (legitim) anstrengelse for at slippe af med den.” – Simone Weil. Der er især to filosoffer, der har beskæftiget sig indgående med begrebet opmærksomhed, som også kan have stor betydning i coaching og andre dialogformer. Den ene er den franske Simone Weil, den anden den engelske Iris Murdoch. Fælles for begge gælder, at de forstår opmærksomhed som en handling, der tilsidesætter vores ego. Opmærksomhed er forbundet med evnen til at tilegne sig eller indoptage livets dybder. Iris Murdoch siger meget passende, at: ”Opmærksomhed belønnes med en erkendelse af virkeligheden.” I foredraget vil Finn Janning vise, hvordan eksistentielle lidelser er forbundet med at leve uopmærksomt. Eksistentielle lidelser bunder i en manglende frihed, som umuliggør kærligheden. Opmærksomhed er med andre ord forudsætningen for at blive fri, og friheden er kærlighedens element. Finn vil med eksempler fra sportens verden vise, hvordan en opmærksom og problematiserende tilgang til livet kan fremme bæredygtige beslutninger, der er frigørende. Opmærksomhedens filosofi er en eksistentiel praksis, hvor det drejer sig om at involvere sig i den løbende dialog mellem frihed og kærlighed, hvorved menneskets evne til at elske og leve frit perspektiveres og nuanceres. Når denne dialog lykkes, vækkes en umiddelbar livslyst og glæde. Forelæsningen finder sted i Store Aud., Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N.

Abstract In the modern world where unhealthy lifestyle choices and chronic diseases taper the health, which lead to an enormous economic burden, finding ways to promote health and prevent disease becomes a pressing goal of the scientific community. Exercise, the most ancient and effective lifestyle interventions, is at the center of the solution since it can both treat and prevent the occurrence of many chronic diseases. The Yan Lab of Molecular Exercise Physiology at University of Virginia has elucidated some of the molecular signaling mechanisms, including mitochondrial associated AMP-activated kinase, muscle-derived extracellular superoxide dismutase as well as epigenetic regulation by exercise during pregnancy, for the health benefits of exercise. Literature Mitochondria-localized AMPK responds to local energetics and contributes to exercise and energetic stress-induced mitophagy Exercise during pregnancy mitigates negative effects of parental obesity on metabolic function in adult mouse offspring Extracellular superoxide dismutase, a molecular transducer of health benefits of exercise Research profile Dr. Zhen Yan is Professor of Medicine and Director of Center for Skeletal Muscle Research at University of Virginia. He made a seminal discovery of exercise-induced p38 MAPK activation in control of the PGC-1a gene transcription and mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle and developed MitoTimer reporter mice for quantification of mitochondrial structure, oxidative stress and mitophagy in vivo. He is the first to unveil the importance of AMPK-Ulk1 activation in control of mitophagy in response exercise. Most recently, he has elucidated the role of mitochondria-associated AMPK in control of mitophagy induced by mitochondrial energetic stress and exercise. He is a leader in the benefits of exercise in health and disease prevention with 124 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters (h-index 60) and serves as Vice Chairman for International Research Group of Biochemistry of Exercise (IRGBE), Associate Editor of Sports Medicine and Health Science (SMHS) and an Editorial Board Member for American Journal of Physiology and Redox in Muscle Physiology, Exercise and Sport.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) senses changes in the cell’s energy level. It has been suggested that AMPK initiates molecular signaling that is beneficial for metabolic health of muscles. AMPK is found in many forms, but the present thesis focuses on AMPKγ3 that is very responsive to exercise and is only found in skeletal muscle. Through exercise-like interventions in mice and studies of both human and mouse carriers of AMPKγ3 mutations, the role of AMPKγ3 for the regulation of glucose metabolism, insulin action and AMPK activation was investigated. It was demonstrated that AMPKγ3 is dispensable for pharmacological regulation of glucose uptake in muscle but necessary for the regulation of insulin sensitivity in the period after muscle contractions. Furthermore, it was found that mutations in certain parts of the AMPKγ3 protein affects the activity of the kinase directly.

The CRHP diet brought about a number of beneficial effects on parameters related to ectopic fat deposition, glucose homeostasis, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It decreased visceral adipose tissue volume and liver fat content, lowered fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin concentrations, increased fasting insulin and C-peptide concentrations, and decreased daily glycemia. The CRHP diet also led to considerable improvements in fasting blood lipid profile and postprandial lipemia, but only small improvements in markers of inflammation and diurnal heart rate. These findings have important implications as they suggest that a CRHP diet has considerable benefits on metabolic homeostasis and CVD risk factors in the absence of major weight loss in patients with T2D. Longer and larger studies are needed to fully elucidate the long-term efficacy, safety and feasibility of substituting dietary carbohydrates with protein and fat in patients with T2D in real-life settings, and thereby help design effective therapeutic nutrition strategies.

Peer education builds on rationales that peer leaders are credible and authentic role models to their peers because peers identify with each other based on their peer relationship; their ‘peerness’. However, although peer education is widely used in health promotion, the mechanisms of the approach are unclear, and there is little understanding of how the peer leadership component contributes to programme outcomes. Therefore, this PhD study explored how the rationales of peer education can be enacted in peer-led physical activity programmes and how programmatic and contextual factors shape the possibilities of youth peer leaders in a community sport programme. I conducted three sub-studies: a literature review and two empirical studies of GAME’s youth-led, peer-to-peer community sport programme. The primary methods were qualitative and quantitative observational methods. Based on the empirical studies, I proposed that peer-led programmes should support peer leaders in activating their peerness to meet the rationales of peer education. To do so, I suggested that programme planners support the development of the knowledge forms techne (practical knowledge) and phronesis (practical wisdom) in peer leader training as this will contribute to activating and acknowledging peer leaders’ experiential and embodied knowledge. A consequence of such an approach is that programme planners allow peer leaders to adapt the programme during implementation. This will involve a balancing of programme intentions, rationales, and peer leaders’ peerness. 2022, 207 pages. Time 7 June 2022, 10:00 Place Festauditoriet, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg .

Moderate alcohol consumption, i.e. no more than 1 drink per day for women and 2 for men, is associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke, and all-cause mortality in middle-aged men and women. Intervention studies on changes in cardiovascular biomarkers support a potential advantage of moderate alcohol intake, including improved lipoprotein and apolipoprotein levels. Lipoproteins are heterogeneous particles with complex metabolic functions, dependent on their physical property, size, and composition. Firstly, this PhD thesis investigated the relationship between alcohol intakes up to 60 g/d and all types of lipoprotein subfractions and related mechanisms in a systematic review. Secondly, associations between alcohol consumption and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subspecies defined by the absence or presence of selected apolipoproteins were explored in a cross-sectional analysis of older adults. Associations to whole plasma apolipoproteins were also investigated. Thirdly, the effects on lipoprotein main- and subfractions and on apolipoproteins were investigated in healthy men and women after three weeks of moderate alcohol intake compared with abstention in a single-blinded cross-over intervention trial. The systematic review included 114 studies and found increased levels of all types of HDL subfractions, including fractions defined by cholesterol content, apolipoprotein composition, or particle number. Indications of reduced apoB and smaller low-density lipoproteins (LDL) were observed, although inconsistent. The cholesterol efflux capacity and paraoxonase activity were consistently increased. In the cross-sectional analysis, positive associations to HDL subspecies lacking apoC3, apoE, or apoJ, as well as HDL subspecies containing apoC3, apoE, or apoJ were found. Whole plasma levels of apoA1 and apoC3 were also directly associated with alcohol intake, but the positive association to total apoC3 was driven by few heavily drinking men. In the cross-over trial, total apoA1 and the content of apoA1, cholesterol, and phospholipids in almost all HDL subfractions were increased in the drinking periods compared with abstention. A reduced apoB/apoA1 ratio was also found, in addition to a lower LDL particle number in women alone. In conclusion, moderate alcohol intake may change the lipoproteins towards a less atherogenic profile, although this needs confirmation in future randomised controlled trials. 2022, 356 pages.

Vitamin D and high-quality protein, e.g. from dairy products, are considered important for childhood bone health and growth, and may also affect cardiometabolic markers, but studies in young, healthy children is needed. The overall objectives of the present thesis were therefore to investigate vitamin D status, its determinants, and its potential association with bone mineralisation, growth, and cardiometabolic markers in young children living in Denmark, and to investigate potential effects of winter vitamin D supplementation and high dairy protein intake on these outcomes. The thesis is based on cross-sectional data from the 3-year visit of the SKOT cohorts (n=323) as well as data from the 2×2 factorial, randomised 24-week winter trial, D-pro, in which 184 children aged 6-8 years received either 20 µg/day vitamin D or placebo and substituted 260 g/day of milk products in their usual diet with either high-protein (HP) or normal-protein (NP) yogurt. Mean±SD s-25(OH)D was 69±23 nmol/L across the year in SKOT and 80±17 nmol/L in August-October in D-pro, but this varied greatly with season/month of examination and use of vitamin D supplements. Vitamin D status was not associated with bone mineralisation or cardiometabolic markers in either study. In D-pro, the vitamin D supplements prevented the winter decline in s-25(OH)D and resulting vitamin D inadequacy observed with placebo, and the protein intake increased from 15±2 E% to 18±3 E% with HP. Vitamin D supplementation increased bone mineralisation and decreased LDL cholesterol compared to placebo, whereas the HP groups had smaller increments in bone mineralisation, fat mass index, and tendency of lower fasting insulin compared to the NP groups. There were no effects on blood pressure. The findings support recommendations of supplements during winter for children in general and year-round for toddlers, and the findings of the trial support a vitamin D intake around 20 µd/day during winter for improved bone mineralisation and lipid profile. In contrast, they do not support dairy products with high protein contents for optimising bone mineralisation in wellnourished children, but a higher dairy protein intake may benefit fat mass and insulin markers. Yet, more high-quality, randomised trials are needed before firm conclusions can be drawn. 2022, 163 pages.

Abstract In this presentation Monica Hanaway looks at what is meant by ‘leadership’, and the psychological and societal reasons we have leadership. She gives an overview of different leadership styles and introduces the concept of ‘existential leadership’. To understand this, she considers leadership through the lens of existential issues such as authenticity, relatedness, meaning, values and beliefs, time and temporality, and uncertainty. She explores how the existential dimensions (social, personal, environmental, and spiritual) are important in the business world. Finally she looks at how leadership and business coaches can formulate insightful questions to use with their clients which are based on existential concerns, and she leaves us to consider the existential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on leadership going forward.

Despite the rich aquatic food resources, Cambodia ranks among the most food-insecure countries in the world with high prevalence of child malnutrition. The main objective of this thesis is to explore the potential of freshwater fish-based for the nutrition of infants and young children in Cambodia, with focus on the species diversity, the impact on blood fatty acid status, and the caretakers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for processed complementary food products in packages (PCFP). The research combines results from three field-based studies in Cambodia: 1) A cross-sectional study of diversity of fish species and other aquatic animal (OAA) in mother’s and children’s diets (n=100 mothers). 2) A randomized controlled trial (RCT) in children age 6-15 months assessing the impact on fatty acid status of a daily supplement of a novel PCFP with freshwater fish (n=308); and 3) A cross-sectional field experiment assessing the preferences and the WTP for PCF (n=520 caretakers). The mothers demonstrated advanced knowledge of aquatic foods recognizing on average 113 fish species and 14 OAA species available in their surrounding aquatic environment, and consuming 69 different species the previous rainy season. The diversity in children’s diets were much less diverse. The RCT study found no differences in blood n-3 long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFA) between the fish-based and the non-fish-based groups. A stratified sample of children no longer breastfed at 15 months of age indicated that the effect of the intervention foods was modified by positive impact of breastfeeding on LC PUFA. The WTP analysis showed that rural participants were willing to pay more than participants in rural settings for fish-based PCFP. Various brands of global and local PCFP products were available on the market. Caretakers were familiar with those brands but only few had ever consumed them. Most participants considered homemade porridge healthier, more practical, and preferred by children. In conclusion, fish-based PCF is potentially a feasible nutrition intervention because it can improve fish consumption in children, and potentially improve fatty acid status, especially in non-breastfed children.

Wasting and stunting are associated with an increased risk of death. We aimed to describe ponderal and linear growth as well as the associations between them in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), and in stunted children. MethodsThe studies of this thesis were nested in two randomized controlled trials: ProbiSAM trial conducted among 400 children admitted with complicated SAM in Mulago Hospital Uganda, and MAGNUS trial, assessing the effects of 12 weeks of supplementation with lipid-based nutrient supplements-large quantity, among 600 stunted children in Eastern Uganda. We described ponderal growth velocities during SAM treatment, and investigated the association between early ponderal and subsequent linear growth, and its modifiers in the two study populations. ResultsAmong children with complicated SAM, in the stabilization phase of inpatient treatment, weight gain velocity was negative in the oedema group vs. no oedema group, became positive in transition, and peaked at 12 g/kg/d in the rehabilitation phase, with no difference by oedema (P > 0.9). During outpatient treatment, overall, weight gain velocity decreased from 5 to 2 g/kg/d. MUAC gain velocity results had a similar pattern to those of weight gain velocity. Furthermore, early ponderal growth was positively associated with subsequent linear growth in both populations. The associations were modified by infections, inflammation and gut function, with some differences seen between the two study populations. ConclusionEarly ponderal growth was positively associated with subsequent linear growth in both populations. The association was modified by inflammation and infections with some differences between the two study populations. Overall, there is need to strengthen the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of malnutrition and infections among young children in low-income settings. 2022, 163 pages.

Abstract Claude Bernard described glycogen in 1857, but quantitate determination was long challenging. The studies by Bergström and Hultman in the late 1960ties indicated a link between glycogen depletion to fatigue, but most recent studies report substantial amount of skeletal muscle glycogen at exhaustion, and mechanisms linking glycogen depletion to fatigue are not well-documented.

Using different mouse models and muscle tissue from patients with cancer, this PhD project showed that skeletal muscle becomes insulin resistant in cancer, where multiple proteins within the muscle were affected. Here, a specific protein called AMPK was found to have a protective effect of metabolic dysfunction in cancer. Collectively, this PhD project provides a greater understanding of what happens to muscle in the context of cancer and metabolic dysfunction.

Camilla Collin Hansen PhD thesis Cardiovascular disease is highly prevalent and associated with the highest mortality rate in the Western world. Impaired function of endothelial cells, located on the inside of all blood vessels, is one of the main causes of cardiovascular disease. It has been proposed, that individuals with high blood pressure have impaired function of the powerhouses of the cells, termed mitochondria, and increased mitochondrial formation of toxic substances, called reactive oxygen species (ROS), but evidence for this proposition is lacking. Enhanced knowledge of mitochondrial function and ROS formation in high blood pressure is important for the molecular understanding of endothelial dysfunction and for the development of novel treatment strategies in cardiovascular disease. The findings in present thesis were that high blood pressure was associated with elevated mitochondrial ROS in endothelial cells, which correlated with endothelial function determined in-vivo in the same patients. Exercise training ameliorate endothelial function in patients with high blood pressure by upregulating the defense system against mitochondrial ROS.

Proper diet and nutrition are important parts of maintaining a healthy body throughout old age. Newer research is furthermore indicating a role of gut bacteria in healthy aging. The aim of the current PhD project was to investigate nutrient adequacy in 184 community-dwelling older Danes (65-82 year) with a specific focus on protein intake as well as assessing determinants of nutrient intake. The PhD project furthermore aimed to investigate potential relationships between diet and musculoskeletal health represented by bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle function (e.g. hand grip strength and 400 meter walking tests). The PhD project also investigated if and how gut bacteria of older individuals respond to specific changes in macronutrients and exercise. Lastly, the PhD project further explored other biological and lifestyle-related factors that associate with gut bacteria of relatively active and healthy older adults. From the collective findings of this PhD project it can be concluded that nutrient inadequacy likely is a minor issue in otherwise healthy community dwelling older Danes. However, as has been seen previously in other populations and age groups, low intakes of vitamin D (compared to recommendations) are a potential nutritional concern. Obtaining adequate amounts of energy in the diet and caring about dietary guidelines and nutrient quality was found to be important for nutrient risk in older Danes. Adherence to a suggested “bone healthy” diet consisting of high intakes of coarse (whole) grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, legumes and nuts, fish and seafood and low intakes of red and processed meats and confectionery was not found to be associated with bone mineral density, but this dietary pattern was however found to be associated with better physical performance, particularly with faster 400 m walking speeds. The addition of purified animal protein or easily digestible carbohydrates to the diet of older individuals was found to have subtle effects on the gut microbiome. Heavy resistance exercise can also affect the gut microbiome of older adults, but generally to a smaller degree than diet. 2022, 144 pages. Time 3 March 2022, 13:00 Place Aud.

Færgeman Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark. Abstract Long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters are key intermediates in numerous lipid metabolic pathways and recognized as important cellular signalling molecules. The intracellular flux and regulatory properties of acyl-CoA esters have been proposed to be coordinated by acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP), which belongs to a family of highly evolutionary conserved and ubiquitously expressed lipid-binding proteins. Acbp-/- mice are viable and fertile and born in a normal Mendelian ratio. Acbp-/- mice show reduced body weight during the weaning period and display a delayed hepatic upregulation of SREBP-regulated lipogenic gene programs at weaning compared to wild type mice. Tissue-specific loss of ACBP in the skin, but not in hepatocytes, phenocopies the SREBP-regulated gene expression in the liver of full body Acbp-/- mice, arguing that the biochemical changes in the liver are caused by loss of ACBP in the skin. Accordingly, transepidermal water loss is significantly increased in both skin-specific and full-body Acbp-/- mice. By applying artificial barriers to the skin of Acbp-/- mice SREBP-regulated gene expression in the liver is rescued, emphasizing that loss of ACBP results in an impaired epidermal permeability barrier, which not only affects the metabolism in the skin but also has systemic effects in other tissues. Post weaning and during aging Acbp-/- mice have increased energy expenditure, increased food intake and increased browning of the inguinal white adipose tissue, which all are reversed by housing the mice at 30 °C or by blocking beta-adrenergic receptor signalling with propranolol. Consistent with increased energy expenditure, both full-body and skin-specific Acbp-/- mice are completely resistant to diet-induced obesity and the diabetogenic effects of a high-fat diet. Our observations therefore suggest that epidermal ACBP is indispensable for systemic energy homeostasis. Notably, ACBP potently facilitates very-long acyl chain ceramide synthesis via direct interaction with ceramide synthases, that are required for maintaining a normal epidermal barrier. Thus, ACBP is required for synthesis of very-long acyl chain ceramides to support a functional epidermal barrier, and thus plays a key role in maintaining systemic metabolic homeostasis. Literature Epidermal Acyl-CoA-binding protein is indispensable for systemic energy homeostasis.

This study also investigated the effect of the pannexin-1 channel, which modulates the sympathetic nerve activity to the muscles. The other study investigated the effect of the pharmaceutical drug colchicine, immediately after ingestion and after 3 weeks of twice daily treatment, on vascular response to ß-adrenergic activation. The thesis concludes that; changes in sympathetic nerve activity to the muscles cannot explain the reduction in blood pressure seen with training in subjects with elevated blood pressure. Furthermore, the pannexin-1 channel cannot explain the reductions in blood pressure mentioned above.

While it has long been known that human training adaptations exist on a continuum with both high- and low-responders, the concept of training individualization with the aim of optimizing performance augmentations for each individual athlete is a comparatively new conception within the field of sports science. Power, the arithmetic product of force and velocity, is known to be of importance for explosive actions, however, the inherent power potential may be predominantly governed by well-developed force or velocity capabilities and a corresponding deficiency of the contrasting quality. Quantification of the balance (or imbalance) between force and velocity capabilities through force-velocity-power profiling may thus provide unique insights pertaining to performance limitations at the individual athlete level and thus consequently aid in individualized training optimization. 2021, 148 pages.

Football is the most popular sport played worldwide by people of different age, gender, training experience and pathological status. The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the effects of playing football and reduced activity on postprandial lipaemia in recreational players. In study I fifteen (7 normal weight, and 8 overweight) recreational football players played a 60-min 9-a-side football match or rested in a randomised counterbalanced cross-over design and returned the next day for bloods at baseline and 0.75, 2, 4 and 6 hrs. For study I the postprandial triglyceride incremental area under the curve was 31% lower in the normal weight group for the football compared to control trial and a discernible trend was shown for the overweight group (22 %). In study II, fifteen males performed either one or three 60 min sessions across an 8-day trial period. On day 1, bloods were collected at fasted (0 min) and 0.75, 2, 4, 6 h postprandial a high fat meal. They were then randomly allocated to either the one football (day 7) or three football days (days 5, 6, 7). On day 8, they repeated the high fat load meal. Postprandial triglyceride incremental area under the curve were 41 % lower from pre to post trials for the one football and 15.7% lower for the three football. In study III, and as a follow up to study II, participants arrived at the laboratory 10 h (day 1) and 34 h (day 2) after the last training session and blood samples were collected fasted (0 min) and 0.75, 2, 4, 6 h post a high fat meal. Activity profile, heart rate and rate of perceived exertion were recorded. In this thesis we have shown that playing a 60 min football match can attenuate the postprandial triglyceride response in normal weight individuals and also benefit overweight individuals. We also found three consecutive days of football training does not offer any greater benefits than one session on postprandial triglyceride, but may benefit carbohydrate metabolism while three consecutive days of football training does not offer any greater protection for changes in postprandial triglyceride following a period of reduced activity compared to one sole session. 2021, 145 pages.

Especially athletes, who are very prone to suffer from these conditions, have a high use of beta2-agonists. Anti-doping regulations formulated by the World Anti-Doping Agency restrict the use of beta2-agonists partly because high-dose inhalation immediately prior to exercise can enhance performance. However, very limited knowledge exists on how chronic treatment with beta2-agonists (i.e. daily for several weeks) affects exercise performance. In this PhD thesis, it was explored whether dishonest athletes can potentially derive increases in muscle mass and improvements in exercise performance with chronic beta2-agonist administration within the limits of what is permitted by current anti-doping regulations. The three studies on which this PhD thesis is based show that beta2-agonists can indeed increase muscle mass in humans and that this can be achieved in doses within the current anti-doping regulations. However, despite the increased muscle mass, beta2-agonists do not improve muscle strength or sprint performance. In contrast, it seems that chronic treatment with beta2-agonists impairs endurance (aerobic) performance. These data indicate that within the current anti-doping regulations, there is very limited potential for exercise performance enhancement with chronic use of beta2-agonists.

To this end, we non-invasively recorded electrical activity generated by the brain and muscles as children, adolescents and adults (age range 8-30y) performed and learned new finger movements. We investigated age-related differences in the communication between parts of the nervous system involved in motor control, and how this changed as individuals learned a motor task.

Abstract My research group seeks to understand the molecular underpinnings of environmental, dietary, and circadian control over adipose tissue biology and systemic energy homeostasis. We are especially interested in how these external cues are integrated at the cell surface to modulate receptor signaling programs. In this seminar, I will outline our discovery of a unique mode of receptor regulation in brown and beige thermogenic adipocytes. Thermogenic adipocytes possess a therapeutically appealing, energy-expending capacity, which is canonically cold-induced by ligand-dependent activation of beta-adrenergic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here we uncover an alternate paradigm of GPCR-mediated adipose thermogenesis through the constitutively active receptor, GPR3. We show that the N-terminus of GPR3 confers intrinsic signaling activity, resulting in continuous Gs-coupling and cAMP production without an exogenous ligand. Thus, transcriptional induction of Gpr3 represents the regulatory parallel to ligand-binding of conventional GPCRs. Consequently, increasing Gpr3 expression in thermogenic adipocytes is alone sufficient to drive energy expenditure and counteract metabolic disease in mice. Gpr3 transcription is cold-stimulated by a lipolytic signal and dietary fat potentiates GPR3-dependent thermogenesis to amplify the response to caloric excess. Moreover, we find GPR3 to be an essential, adrenergic-independent regulator of human brown adipocytes. Taken together, our findings reveal a noncanonical mechanism of GPCR control and thermogenic activation through the lipolysis-induced expression of constitutively active GPR3. Literature Lipolysis drives expression of the constitutively active receptor GPR3 to induce adipose thermogenesis.

Movements are controlled by numerous, interconnected nerve cells that are distributed across the nervous system. During the past several decades, substantial technological and methodological advances in the neurosciences have allowed to investigate how the nervous system controls motor output. However, knowledge on the neural mechanisms underlying control and learning of movements in humans is still limited. This PhD thesis aims to add scientific evidence on the neural mechanisms underlying human motor control and skill learning. For this purpose, the studies of this PhD project applied non-invasive electrophysiological techniques such as brain stimulation and electroencephalography while human participants performed a variety of motor tasks. The studies of this thesis focused on the i) neural circuits of the motor cortex engaged in the performance of discrete and rhythmic movements, ii) the neural circuits of the motor cortex involved in learning a spatiotemporal motor skill and iii) the neural mechanisms underlying reinforcement-based motor learning. 2021, 164 pages.

Exercise has been shown to be a good strategy to prevent the onset of T2D. According to previous studies, it has been observed that hypoxia optimizes the effect of exercise on glucose metabolism. We therefore decided to investigate whether environmental hypoxia could potentiate the effects of exercise training on glucose metabolism in individuals at risk of developing T2D. We drew three different conclusions depending on the type of exercise, ranging from improved glucose tolerance following hypoxic training to reduced tolerance following acute exercise in hypoxia. No clear mechanism was identified to understand the different results obtained. Indeed, no differences were observed between hypoxia and normoxia, either in the signaling pathways involved in the regulation of glucose at the level of skeletal muscle or more systemically by the analysis of extracellular vesicles. 2021, 230 pages.

While one research line called ""strategic self-talk"" focuses on how the use of predetermined cue words might enhance performance, another research line called ""organic self-talk"" tries to investigate the natural self-talk athletes have during their sport involvement. Organic self-talk can further be broken down into spontaneous self-talk (e.g., ""What a stupid mistake) as a more uncontrolled type of self-talk and goal-directed self-talk (e.g., ""Focus on the next point) as a more controlled type of self-talk. Based on this self-talk perspective, a main purpose of the PhD was to investigate the relationship between self-talk and emotions in competitive sports. Moreover, with regards to emotions, they involve an internal subjective experience (e.g., a person feels anxious), physiological processes (e.g., increased heart rate), and a behavioral component (e.g., gestures). Because the behavioral component seems particularly suitable for studying emotions during a sport competition, a second focus of this PhD was on outward emotional reactions. The PhD includes five articles in total. In three review articles, including two narrative reviews and one scoping review, the available evidence in the sport psychological literature regarding this relationship has been outlined. With regards to organic self-talk, these reviews consistently show that, on the one hand, spontaneous self-talk is often an expression of emotions. On the other hand, a main function of goal-directed self-talk is emotion regulation. In addition, concerning strategic self-talk, there is evidence that the deliberate use of cue words can reduce anxiety levels of athletes. Another article of the PhD includes a study, where the relationship between self-talk and organic self-talk was studied in competitive tennis matches. Here, tennis players were asked to report their emotions and self-talk based on the footage of a previous match. In line with the theoretical suggestions, the findings show that in situations in which players reported only spontaneous self-talk the intensity of emotions is lower compared to situations in which players reported only goal-directed self-talk. The final article includes a study about outward emotional reactions in competitive table tennis matches. In a purely observational design, it could be revealed that certain situations (e.g., the end of the set) increase the likelihood of table tennis players to show an outward emotional reaction. However, outward emotional reactions did not predict the outcome of the next point. 2021, 231 pages. Time 2 July 2021, 11:00 (Danish time) Place Online.

Nguyen defending her PhD thesis: Developing New LC-MS Technologies for the Characterization and Quantitation of Biotherapeutics";"Jennifer M. Nguyen PhD thesis About the thesis Biotherapeutics are growing at a rapid pace. Recombinant mAbs for therapeutics are one of the fastest growing markets, alongside a rapid rise in interest towards antisense therapies like oligonucleotides. Because of the heterogeneity of mAbs and complexity of antisense oligonucleotides, the characterization and pharmacokinetic monitoring of these drug targets are important to ensure quality and can require much testing. This thesis focused on optimizing LC or LC-MS consumables and methods for the analysis of proteins and oligonucleotides. Broadly, the thesis aimed to both discover and evaluate modern consumables and reagents such as columns and new surface technologies, emphasizing the development of these methods to improve RPLC-MS. Applications for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of intact proteins, protein subunits, and oligonucleotides were also investigated, and by optimizing sample preparation approaches, the performance of these applications could be maximized. In paper 1, reversed-phase chemistries and ion-pairing reagents were evaluated to develop a qualified platform method for subunit profiling using MS friendly separations. New column potential for low tortuosity superficially porous particles, non-porous polymeric particles, or gigaporous PS-DVB particle to address protein analysis at low nanogram mass loads was assessed in paper 2, with a focus on designing the ideal column technology and describing fundamentals regarding the improved approach. The selectivity of different proteins and integration with affinity enrichment was realized through an aptamer-based immunocapture method. For oligonucleotide separations, papers 3 and 4 highlight the benefits of a new, inert LC surface technology to improve chromatographic performance and recovery versus conventional column technologies for quantifying antisense oligonucleotides. In all, with the rapid growth occurring in the biopharmaceutical world, maximizing the characterization and quantitation of proteins and oligonucleotides for efficiency and accuracy is not only important but necessary. The four papers sought to investigate and improve this through developing new LC-MS technologies for RPLC-based chromatographic separations. Together, these papers provide a compelling story about the growth of biotherapeutics and how the analytical world can advance to accommodate the demanding diagnostic challenges of these new modalities. 2021, 210 pages.

Abstract Growth hormone (GH) is essential for postnatal longitudinal growth and mainly via stimulation of hepatic and peripheral formation of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). In addition, GH potently and directly stimulates lipolysis and lipid oxidation. The shift in action between protein anabolism and lipid catabolism is regulated by energy balance such that the postprandial state favors IGF-I activity, whereas short- and long term fasting suppresses IGF-I, which in turn feedback stimulates the secretion and direct effects of GH. Sustained GH hypersecretion as seen in acromegaly induces a hypermetabolic state characterized by elevated IGF-I activity concomitantly with lipolysis, which induces fatty-acid dependent insulin resistance in muscle and fat. This monogenic and reversible form of insulin resistance is unrelated to the metabolic syndrome since the phenotype is lean. The presentation will focus on the molecular mechanisms underpinning GH-induced insulin resistance in human models.

The degree of the improvements is largely determined by the training intensity and training volume. As such, intense interval training has gained considerable attention because it effectively promotes common training adaptations. Intense exercise causes substantial stress within the exercising muscle, which leads to marked remodeling of the skeletal muscle protein composition, especially increases in mitochondrial proteins. Despite being recognized as a potent training form, limited research has examined how interval training with different exercise intensities affect the protein composition (proteome) and associated functional measurements. Thus, this PhD thesis explored how differences in intense interval training exercise intensities affect skeletal muscle adaptation in men. Using advances in the proteomic field we achieved extensive protein quantification in two studies (3168 and 2525 proteins). Proteomic analysis revealed that mitochondrial proteins were highly upregulated, regardless of interval training intensity. However, lower training intensity with higher training volume seemed to lead to more pronounced changes of the proteins. Further data analyses revealed that training intensity may induce specific adaptations of the subunits that constitute the electron transport chain. The functional implications of these mitochondrial changes were assessed using high-resolution respirometry to determine the respiratory function (oxidative phosphorylation) in permeabilized muscle fibers. In line with the training-specific changes in the subunits that constitute the electron transport chain, training led to complex-specific changes in mitochondrial respiration. Despite this, the maximal respiratory capacity increased similarly, regardless of training intensity. Thus, within the intense exercise range, lower exercise intensity with larger training volume and may lead to more substantial remodelling of skeletal muscle proteins but the maximal oxidative phosphorylation capacity of the muscle is enhanced similarly, regardless of training intensity and training volume. 2021, 213 pages.

The information obtained from the traditional assessment of dietary intake is inaccurate and subjective due to recall bias, limited food lists, etc. Data-driven untargeted metabolomics, employing advanced analytical technologies, supporting the measurement of metabolites deriving from the intake of specific foods in biofluids. These specific compounds, identified and validated as biomarkers of food intake (BFIs), can serve as an alternative to traditional methods of assessing food consumption. Despite plant-based foods having well-known nutritional and potential bioactive properties, they lack specific BFIs which may be crucial for the objective assessment of their effects on health. This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the identification and validation of BFIs of three consumed plant-based foods from ocean to land, i.e., seaweed, spinach, and coffee. This PhD thesis begins with a comprehensive systematic review to collate previously reported specific compounds associated with seaweed consumption (paper I). Several candidate BFIs related to seaweed were retrieved from human trials published in the literature. Subsequently, a three-way cross-over human intervention trial was carried out (paper II). Biological fluids were analyzed through an untargeted metabolomics approach, by using UHPLC-QTOF-MS. We discovered four seaweed-related BFIs. The third work of the thesis regards the identification of spinach intake biomarkers (paper Ⅲ). Three candidate BFIs and 69 effect-like biomarkers were selected by a combination of PLS-DA and student’s t-test. In general, the discovery of BFIs is only the firstpart of biomarkers development. Subsequent validation of the BFIs based on published criteria is the last and essential step. The fourth work of the thesis consisted of identifying and validating coffee intake biomarkers by performing four independent human studies (paper Ⅳ). Through ASCA and PLS-DA statistical analysis, 23 putative urinary biomarkers strongly associated with coffee consumption were selected in common in three parallel intervention studies and identified. Sixteen of the 23 markers were validated against food diaries in the cross-sectional NU-AGE study. Due to the non-specificity of some of these BFIs to coffee intake, combinations of BFIs were evaluated. 2021, 241 pages. Time 18 June 2021, 13:00 Place Digital defence.

Christensen is defending his PhD thesis: Personalized Nutrition & Gut Microbiota Biomarkers in Weight Management";"Lars H. Christensen PhD thesis Personalized nutrition has become a popular area of research aiming at individualizing diets to personal traits. The idea is to stratify study participants based on biomarkers such as host genes and gut microbiota, which is believed to explain some of the large variations in metabolic parameters seen among participants following dietary interventions. In weight management, the gut microbiota biomarkers, enterotypes, have during recent years been associated with both changes in blood glucose and body weight. In this PhD thesis, I further support that enterotypes link to weight regulation among participants with overweight, when consuming whole grain diets and specific fibers of whole grains. Furthermore, I find that a specific Bacteroides species predicts weight change with better precision than the proxy of enterotypes, Prevotella-to-Bacteroides ratio. Also, I endorse the notion that a person’s ability to digest starch in the upper gastrointestinal tract mediates the enterotype-body weight connection. Accordingly, only among subjects with a low salivary amylase gene (AMY1) copy number, I find the association between the Prevotella enterotype and weight loss to hold true. These findings indicate that only a subgroup of individuals will experience weight loss success depending on their microbiota composition and genes related to carbohydrate digestion, when consuming diets enriched with whole grain fibers. In summary, enterotypes are promising biomarkers in weight management, and in combination with species-level microbiota information, microbial metabolites, and host genes, these seem to have a great potential in precision nutrition management of obesity.

Claire has designed a framework philosophy for her practice called “W.E.L.L. in Harmony™“. After managing the Hellenic coach-coachee participation in the research project on coaching presence, Claire is partnering with Tünde Erdös to create a research-based training program on presence. Presence is defined as the capacity to spontaneously respond to others’ needs any given moment. This capacity shows in your body before you even utter a word. The body comes before the brain. What is your joy, shame, sweat, pride, or even taboo around presence? Introduktion til foredraget We all tend to have a default setting – a golden shadow - about everything: money, love, work, and presence, which limits our potential to have healthy relationships. People disconnect from us. While we think we are present, most of the time we have too much or not enough of it. The result is our presence-less-ness as we miss to see what is relevant in our interactions any given moment. In this workshop, we will explore two obstacles to presence in coaching as a growth intervention. We will reflect a) the consequences of both our presence-less-ness in our default setting, and b) our presence-ness integrating the I, the Other, and the We in coaching. Our approach is based on a recently conducted large-scale international coaching research that investigated 184 coach-client pairs in video-taped sessions to reveal that presence is expressed in how we respond somatically to each other. So, know thy body to be present any given moment. This workshop offers a low-to-medium level of interaction to ensure that through our joint experiential presence we can smoothly reflect the two key findings of the research for our practice.

In this lecture, I will present some of my own studies on the molecular mechanisms that allow birds to fly at extreme altitudes by maximizing oxygen uptake, turtles to survive total oxygen deprivation by avoiding tissue damage and mammalian hibernators to depress mitochondrial respiration by using hydrogen sulfide as inhibitor. Thus, control mechanisms of the respiratory cascade are key to physiological animal adaptations.

Abstract There is an urgent unmet need to develop new therapies to treat muscle weakness in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Current standard of care with glucocorticoids improves mobility, respiratory and cardiac functions, but there remains a substantial weakness and fibrosis in limb and respiratory muscle as well as the heart. While the future of genetic therapies that correct or compensate for the genetic mutation hold promise, there will likely be a need for combining other treatments that target secondary contributors. Clinical practice will benefit from additional treatments informed by new research on other mechanisms causing muscle weakness. In this light, mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to an energetic collapse and oxidative stress that weakens dystrophic muscles even further. Our recent findings demonstrate a potential for improving muscle health in Duchenne by targeting and rescuing mitochondrial function.

Malnutrition, the HIV virus and inflammation are associated with hyperglycemia. Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) in HIV patients on ART for three months led to a weight gain. However, the consequences of the intake of LNS with ART on glucose metabolism and blood pressure are not well studied. Drugs including antiretroviral therapy (ART), atherosclerosis and opportunistic infections are also associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among HIV patients. In previously malnourished HIV positive (HIV+) individuals taking long-term ART, the prevalence of CVDs is not well studied. In the initial study, we assessed glucose metabolism and insulin function of ART naïve HIV+ as compared to HIV negative (HIV-) individuals. In the subsequent study, a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial was done to evaluate the effect of LNS/whey and LNS/soy on changes on glucose and insulin metabolism. Thirdly, a one-year follow-up study of HIV patients was done to assess changes in glucose and insulin and blood pressure. Finally, the cardiovascular status of HIV patients on long term ART was studied. Prediabetes and diabetes were frequent among ART naïve HIV patients. Diabetes was associated with insulin deficiency and inflammation but not waist circumference and age. Among HIV patients, short-term intake of LNS since the time of ART initiation led to insulin resistance, increased p-insulin and p-glucose levels, and tended to increase HbA1c. During the first year of ART, all glucose parameters declined but p-insulin and blood pressure rose. With long-term ART intake, HIV patients show early signs of CVDs signified by higher odds of carotid atherosclerosis, LV systolic, and diastolic dysfunction as compared to HIV-. Whether longer exposure to LNS leads to increased risk of dysglycemia need further study. Moreover, increased insulin during the first year of ART could be due to the recovery of β-cells or a sign of insulin resistance and needs further elucidation. Early ART initiation despite consideration of CD4 count or viral load (test and treat strategy) and cardiovascular screening could lead to reduced CVDs. 2021, 159 pages.

Bone health and osteoporosis risk assessment in women";"Bone health and osteoporosis risk assessment in women Rizky Suganda Prawiradilaga PhD thesis Osteoporosis has become a major global concern for public health. It affects 200 million females globally and is estimated to cause over 8.9 million fractures annually. This condition is characterized by low bone mass and bone tissue damage, resulting in increased bone fragility and risk of fracture. The aim of the present Ph.D. thesis was to investigate the osteogenic stimulus of exercise and training for women and to contribute to the development of knowledge-based training recommendations for the prevention of bone loss and related bone fractures. The acute response of biochemical bone turnover markers (BTM) to three high-impact jumps and the longitudinal response to 19-week multimodal training for postmenopausal women were investigated. In addition, the relevance of including the measurement of BMD in reliable fracture risk assessment (FRAX) for women diagnosed with early nonmetastatic breast cancer was investigated. An important finding from the acute cross-over study was a highly significant association between the three-dimensional ground reaction forces (GRF) produced by jumping and the acute BTM response. Thus, it must be recommended to include movements in various directions (odd-impact exercise) when planning osteogenic training. In the longitudinal training study, which was performed as a health promotional training initiative in a local community, the osteogenic effect was astonishing sparse, no matter whether the osteogenic effect was evaluated by DXA-scanning or by BTM. It is hypothesised that it may be due to the study design, which was limited by a relatively low statistical power and a suboptimal control of the individual training intensity, frequency, and volume. The evaluation of the FRAX risk assessment instrument showed that inclusion of BMD in the calculation of the 10-year probability of hip fracture or major osteoporotic fracture for women diagnosed with early nonmetastatic breast cancer, is important to avoid overestimation of risk, which could lead to overtreatment. 2020, 164 pages.

Breenfeldt Andersen is defending his PhD thesis: Detection of blood volume manipulations and the physiological effect hereof: an evaluation of iron biomarkers";"An evaluation of iron biomarkers Andreas H. Breenfeldt Andersen PhD thesis As prohibited blood manipulations remains a challenge for anti-doping authorities, it is important to continuously investigate and evaluate new potential detection methods. A current need is to evaluate the potential of the iron regulatory hormones hepcidin and erythroferrone and improve the sensitivity of current detection methodologies following micro-dosing regimes in a sex-specific context as well as evaluate the impact of well-known confounding factors. In addition, specific and sensitive biomarkers relevant in an anti-doping context may also have merit in a blood donation context, where a rapid recovery after blood donation is a priority. Finally, it is important to determine the physiological effects of the applied regimes to establish the lower limit of relevance for anti-doping authorities. The present thesis demonstrates that iron regulatory hormones can be of high value both in a clinical setting such as blood banks as well as in an anti-doping context. However, large fluctuations in hepcidin caused by normal variation should be taken into account and limit hepcidin’s applicability in anti-doping, whereas erythroferrone shows promising results. Future studies should continue the efforts of developing a sensitive detection method for autologous blood transfusion and EPO doping as this thesis demonstrate that both strategies are performance enhancing even in small doses. In addition, the current methodologies are challenged by such micro-dosing strategies evident by either a low sensitivity as well as a compromised specificity in altitude, which is a common situation for elite athletes. 2020, 191 pages.

Heat treatment is widely used method for processing of tubers and milk. Heating directly affects the nutritional value and potentially also the health effects of the food. Some compounds formed by heating, indicative of Maillard reactions may serve as biomarkers of food intake (BFIs). These could be useful tools, complementary to traditional methods of dietary assessment, for investigating relationships between heat-treated foods and human health. This thesis aimed to identify the biomarkers for intake of heat-treated potato products and skimmed milk powder. For this, a threefold strategy was applied. Firstly, a systematical review of the literature was performed to obtain already published biomarkers of different tubers and tuber processed products including potato. Then, experimental work using mass spectrometry was executed to discover urinary biomarkers for intake of different heat-treated potato products in a randomized controlled cross-over intervention meal study. The untargeted metabolomics approach again was applied to identify discriminating metabolites (e.g. new advanced glycation endproducts) of heat-treated skimmed milk powder in 24 h urine samples collected from a rat study. 2020, 237 pages.

Introduktion til foredraget Corona-krisen har vist os at vi kan forandre og tilpasse store dele af et helt samfund på få uger. Gennem dialog lykkedes det arbejdsgivere og lønmodtagere at lave nye fælles aftaler, ledere og medarbejdere fandt lokale løsninger - Alle bidrog for at lykkes med at overkomme den ekstraordinære situation, men den afgørende faktor var viljen til at indgå i konstruktive dialoger på tværs af fagligheder og ledelseslag. Den kommende tid vil også medføre et stort behov for udvikling, både når det gælder forretningstilpasning, velfærdsudvikling og ikke mindst klimaudfordringen. Det er vigtigt at vi lærer af vores nylige erfaringer og fortsat bestræber os på at gå dialogisk til værks, når vi nu ved hvor meget mere vi kan i fællesskab. Deltag i arrangementet og vær med til at lære mere om dialog i teori og praksis, og om hvordan dialogiske udviklingsprocesser designes og gennemføres i praksis.

Introduktion til foredraget Hver dag vurderer vi adskillige personer, deres udsagn og deres handlinger. De vurderinger danner grundlag for, hvordan vi har det med andre mennesker, og hvad vi gør ved dem. Problemet? Den måde, som vi vurderer andre på, bygger ofte på forkerte teorier om mennesker, og derfor bliver konsekvenserne af vores vurderinger også ofte problematiske. Det er imidlertid ikke, fordi vi er dumme, eller fordi vi ikke kender de “rigtige” teorier. Det handler i stedet om, at i de situationer, hvor vi vurderer andre, er der nogle særlige metoder indlejret, og nogle særlige interesser og magtforhold i spil. Ved denne forelæsning belyser Lars Lundmann de personvurderinger, der finder sted, når vi rekrutterer til vores organisationer. Han forklarer, hvordan vores rekrutteringsproblemer skyldes de metoder, vi bruger til personvurdering og giver forslag til, hvordan man slipper for at lade personvurderingerne styre vores valg og fravalg.

Several therapeutic strategies are known to promote cardiovascular health by improving the function of blood vessels. Here, the innovative procedure of ischemic preconditioning and the proven approach of physical activity was studied, with the objective to examine remote functional adaptations related to endothelial function, formation of blood clots and intercellular crosstalk mediated by platelets in the human vasculature. The seminal findings from the present thesis provide evidence that ischemic preconditioning potently leads to functional adaptations in remote vascular tissue, in particular the endothelium, and also that it influences the proteome profile of platelets. Importantly, the findings also imply that the therapeutic strategies which was studied should be prescribed only on the basis of a thorough prior assessment of eligibility. 2020, 155 pages.

The loss of muscle mass is common in several pathological conditions that are associated with a reduced ability of insulin to increase muscle glucose uptake. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon is vital. In addition to insulin, muscle contraction also increases muscle glucose uptake. The Rho family GTPase, Rac1 is highly important for glucose uptake in response to both insulin and muscle contraction. However, how Rac1 is activated and regulate glucose uptake is incompletely understood. The present PhD thesis aimed to identify novel molecules that interact with Rac1 in muscle. It was discovered that inactive Rac1 interacted with a protein called RhoGDIα. RhoGDIα is an inhibitor of Rho GTPases. Accordingly, the importance of RhoGDIα in the regulation of Rac1 activity and muscle glucose uptake in response to insulin was investigated. Rac1 activates a group of molecules called group I PAKs. Thus, additionally, the importance of group I PAKs for muscle glucose uptake in response to both insulin and muscle contraction was explored. The present PhD thesis demonstrates that RhoGDIα is an inhibitor of Rac1 in skeletal muscle cells. Furthermore, increased expression or depletion of RhoGDIα in muscle identified RhoGDIα as a negative regulator of muscle glucose uptake in response to insulin. Increased muscle RhoGDIα expression also impaired glucose tolerance at a whole-body level in mice. Thus, the observed increase in RhoGDIα expression in muscle from type 2 diabetic subjects could potentially explain the previously reported dysfunctional Rho GTPases in these subjects in response to insulin. Interestingly, it was found that RhoGDIα is also important for muscle mass. Lastly, glucose uptake in response to insulin and muscle contractions was found to partly depend on PAK2, but not PAK1, in mouse muscle. In conclusion, RhoGDIα is identified as a novel regulator of muscle mass and insulin sensitivity and evidence is provided that Rac1-mediated glucose uptake partly depends on PAK2, but not PAK1. 2020, 243 pages.

However, dietary recommendations are ambiguous and no clear consensus exists regarding the macronutrient distribution of the diabetes diet. Current Danish diabetes dietary guidelines recommend a macronutrient distribution of 45-60 energy percent (E%) from carbohydrates, 10-20 E% from protein and <35 E% from fat. The American diabetes association has recently recommended carbohydrate-restriction as one out of several viable nutritional therapeutic interventions. Although meta-analyses have revealed receding or absent long-term effects, it has been suggested that carbohydrate-restriction may improve glycemic control. Nevertheless, evaluation of dietary interventions remains complex as most feeding studies are influenced by a concomitant weight loss affecting the metabolic outcomes. This PhD project aimed to investigate the effects of a conventional diabetes diet (carbohydrates/proteins/fat; 50/17/33 E%) and an iso-energetic carbohydrate-reduced high-protein diet (carbohydrates/proteins/fat; 30/30/40 E%) during 6 weeks of full meal provision aiming at weight stability in patients with type 2 diabetes. 2020, 119 pages.

"PhD defence: Environmental heat stress and motor-cognitive performance";"Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen";"2020-04-15";"14:00";"";"";"Digital defence";"Jacob Feder Piil is defending his PhD thesis: Environmental heat stress and motor-cognitive performance ";"Jacob Feder Piil PhD thesis Introduction As the world warms, heat waves will become longer and happen more often. This is concerning for manual laborers because during heat waves, work performance gets worse and more work-site accidents happen. Although these real-world findings are well-documented, results from laboratory studies have been inconsistent, with multiple reports showing that heat improves, worsens, or has no effect on cognitive performance. These inconsistent findings are likely due to the variable study protocols, the lack of familiarization to these protocols, and the lack of other potential compounding variables during testing. Therefore, the present thesis first aimed to develop a new cognitive testing method, which could detect reductions in cognitive-motor ability caused by heat stress. Next, this method was used to test whether dehydration and solar radiation worsened, or if heat acclimation protected against, the reductions in motor-cognitive performance caused by the heat. Methods Applying the new assessment method, the effects of: 1) moderate [1°C] and severe [≥2°C] changes in core temperature alone or combined with, 2) dehydration levels of 2% body mass loss, or 3) solar radiation applied to the head, and 4) moderate (14 days) and prolonged (28 days) heat acclimation, were explored. Results Moderate increases in core temperature in hot-dry environments do not impair motor-cognitive performance, however, severe increases in core temperature reduced motor-cognitive performance by a lot. Further, motor-cognition was much worse when the participants were dehydrated. Direct solar radiation exposure of the head, combined with moderate increases in core temperature, caused reductions in motor-cognition that were as bad as the reductions caused by severe changes in core temperature without solar radiation. Finally, heat acclimation did not protect against the reductions in cognitive performance caused by heat stress. Conclusions The new testing method was both sensitive and reliable enough to detect reductions in motor-cognition caused by heat stress and that dehydration and solar-radiation make the reductions in motor-cognition worse, but that heat acclimation does not protect against these reductions. Together, these findings help to explain why real-world and laboratory-based studies are in disagreement concerning whether heat affects cognitive performance and identify other environmental and internal risks to address in order to protect worker wellbeing. 2020, 138 pages.

Research Profile Patrick Schrauwen has made key contributions to the study of the relation between mitochondrial function and ectopic fat storage in muscle and type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance. Schrauwen was one of the first to show that mitochondrial function, as measured by muscle oxidative capacity in vivo using NMR imaging and spectroscopy, is compromised not only in patients with overt type 2 diabetes but also in pre-diabetes. This finding was substantiated by high-resolution respirometry in permeabilized human muscle fibers, which revealed intrinsic defects in mitochondrial function as part of the muscle pathology commonly observed in type 2 diabetes. Subsequently, Dr. Schrauwen investigated if mitochondrial function could be considered a target for the prevention or treatment of diabetes. He used state-of-the-art methodologies to demonstrate the beneficial effect of exercise training on insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function, including underlying mechanisms. Dr. Schrauwen was also the first to show that the polyphenolic compound resveratrol is able to increase mitochondrial function and improve metabolic health in obese humans (most cited paper in Cell Metabolism of the last five years). Abstract Type 2 diabetes patients are characterized by a reduced ex vivo and in vivo mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle when compared to BMI- and age-matched control subjects. Why mitochondrial function is low in type 2 diabetes is yet unrevealed. Recent insights show that mitochondrial function displays 24h rhythmicity in skeletal muscle, and is under control of the molecular biological clock. Circadian misalignment, such as shift work, affects the muscle molecular clock and results in the rapid induction of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. In this presentation, recent insights in the role of circadian rhythms in the development of skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity will be discussed. Literature Demonstration of a day-night rhythm in human skeletal muscle oxidative capacity. Circadian misalignment induces fatty acid metabolism gene profiles and compromises insulin sensitivity in human skeletal muscle.

However, the molecular explanations for a possible relationship between muscle mass and insulin sensitivity are lacking. In the current thesis, insulin sensitivity and molecular regulation were determined in two studies, study 1) Follistatin (Fst) -induced muscle mass increase, and study 2) tissue wasting condition of cancer. In Study 1, muscle Fst expression was increased in mouse skeletal muscle by recombinant adeno associated virus (rAAV) transfection to induce muscle hypertrophy. Fst288 overexpression increased muscle mass accompanied by augmented insulin-stimulated muscle glucose uptake and AKT/TBC1D4 signaling and restored impaired insulin action in obese insulin resistant mice in 2 weeks. In Study 2, Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cancer impaired insulin’s stimulatory effect on glucose uptake in both muscle and adipose tissue and impaired microvascular perfusion in muscle. It also increases basal hepatic glucose production. Additionally, blockage of lipid flux partially alleviates cancer-induced IR which could be a novel pharmacological target for cancer treatment in the future. However, cancer cell-secreted factors augmented both basal and insulin-stimulated myoblast’s GLUT4 translocation. Taken together, these results support an association between insulin sensitivity and muscle mass regulation and describe novel molecular players. 2020, 123 pages.

This Industrial PhD thesis aimed to improve the cost-effectiveness of anti-doping testing through the evaluation of the applicability of a complementary sample collection matrix; dried blood spots (DBS) and whether the 'blood module' in the 'Athlete Biological Passport' (ABP) can be used to indicate testosterone doping and thereby improve detection, given the stimulating effect of testosterone on red blood cell production, and by providing concrete suggestions for the anti-doping testing program based on detection periods and performance-enhancing effects.

Ioannou is defending his PhD thesis: Effects of heat on behavioral and physiological mechanisms of the human thermoregulatory system during rest, exercise, and work";"Leonidas G. Ioannou PhD thesis The aim of this thesis is to extend the current understanding of the impacts of heat stress on human physiology, cognition, behaviour, and capacity to perform physical work. In this respect, we conducted two systematic reviews and collected numerous data from hundreds of individuals who perform physical work in various environments. A series of field observations and interventions followed by experiments in laboratory settings, took place in Cyprus, Denmark, Greece, Qatar, and Spain. Additional datasets were provided from Australia, Canada, Slovenia, and the United States of America. This work led to seven studies which are presented as different chapters of the current thesis. Summarizing, the results of the current thesis show that environmental heat stress affects human health, physiology, cognition, and capacity to perform manual work, leading to significant economic implications which are projected to rise during the next decades. Performing manual work under the sun leads to added heat strain and more compromised cognitive function, even in circumstances when heat exposure is considered to be of the same intensity as performing manual work in shade. Encouraging individuals who perform work in the heat to self-pace must be a key element of any effective heat mitigation strategy. Additionally, interventions such as mechanization, work-rest cycles, hydration strategies, ice slurry consumption, and clothing strategies could play a significant role as a protective barrier against environmental heat stress. The use of appropriate thermal indices could act as an additional proactive measure aiming to protect human health and wellbeing. 2020, 386 pages.

Research Profile Tobias Wang (PhD) studies a wide range of different animals to understand how their metabolism, digestion and cardiorespiratory physiology is adapted to various environments and behaviors. He was one of the driving forces for the Danish Cardiovascular Giraffe Research Programme, an interdisciplinary group of physiologists with the common goal of understanding the physiological adaptations to the high blood pressures of giraffes. Tobias Wang is head of the section of zoophysiology and chair of the comparative commission in the International Union of Physiological Sciences. Abstract With a height of more than 5 meters, giraffes are the tallest animals living on Earth and their bodily functions experience considerable gravitational stress. To perfuse the brain, the heart generates a high blood pressure, but contrary to common wisdom, we have shown that relative mass of the heart resemble other mammals (0.6% of body mass) and that the high pressures are generated by a thicker ventricular wall and a smaller ventricular lumen. We have identified sphincters, presumably with sympathetic innervation, in the major conducting arteries of the legs that may contribute to the protection against oedemas when the giraffes are standing quietly even though capillary pressures probably exceeds 400 mmHg. There are many unresolved questions on the mechanisms that protect the cerebral vasculature when the giraffes lower their head to drink. We believe that the intracranial vessels are protected by a rise in pressure of the cerebral spinal (such that the transmural pressure of the cerebral vessel does not change much), and there seems to be an effective barostic regulation and a pooling of blood in neck when the head is lowered. I will review our studies over the past 15 years and provide a perspective on the frustratingly difficult problems that remain to be solved. Literature How does the giraffe regulate brain blood pressure when lowering its head? How does the giraffe maintain high enough blood pressure to secure brain perfusion?

Moreover, estimated glomerular filtration rate estimating (eGFR) equations using serum creatinine are not validated in most African settings and various results have been reported on the effect of antiretroviral treatment (ART) on kidney function. In this PhD thesis, use of nutritional supplementation which contained vitamin D prevented a reduction in serum 25 (OH) D levels in HIV positive persons initiating ART. All eGFR equations overestimated 24-hr creatinine clearance in the HIV positive persons. Moreover, HIV positive adults had relatively good kidney function at the initiation of ART in Ethiopia and remained stable over 12 months of ART with no significant difference in HIV positive persons treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and non TDF-based regimen. 2019, 151 pages.

Abstract Defining cellular responses to acute perturbations is of central interest in biology. We have exploited altered protein phosphorylation as a key response output as it is rapid, dynamic and quantifiable on a global scale. In light of our main interest in metabolism we have focused on the phosphoproteome of core metabolic tissues such as muscle and fat and how they respond to the major metabolic perturbations such as exercise and insulin. We have identified a vast array of phosphorylation changes in both cases. Surprisingly the majority of these phosphorylation events can neither be functionally accounted for nor ascribed to an upstream kinase. Thus, we refer to these as the ‘dark phosphoproteome’. By focusing on known core regulators of exercise and insulin, such as AMPK and Akt, we have defined novel features and substrates of these regulatory nodes. This has provided new insights into insulin and exercise action and offers a wealth of opportunities for future investigations.

The burden of these diseases is falling disproportionately on low and middle-income countries who are currently experiencing rapid changes in lifestyle patterns towards western diets and sedentary behaviours. This results in growing numbers of children with obesity, but at the same time, these countries have continued high levels of undernutrition. Studies have shown that your nutritional status and growth in fetal life and early childhood are important factors for your later risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, and it has been suggested that these diseases may start to develop already in childhood. However, knowledge about these relationships in populations from low-income countries is lacking. The overall aim of this thesis was to study how weight, body mass index, fat and muscle growth in the first years of life affect fat, muscle and several diabetes and heart disease related blood markers in five-year-old children from urban Ethiopia. 2019, 224 pages.

Introduktion til foredraget En meget lille del af befolkningen (ca. 1%) står for størstedelen af sundhedsudgifterne i Danmark (30%). Det drejer sig om patienter, der eksempelvis ofte bliver indlagt, mangler viden om deres sygdom, og hvad de selv kan gøre eller har svært ved at navigere i sundhedsvæsenet. Sundhedsprojektet Aktiv Patientstøtte går en helt ny retning i forhold til sundhed og kronisk sygdom i et storstilet nationalt forskningsprojekt (fra 2017-2020). Projektets formål er at øge patienternes handlekompetence, egenomsorg og livskvalitet – og derved mindske antallet af indlæggelser for patienten. Hovedelementet i projektet er sygeplejerskernes coachende telefonsamtaler med patienterne, der er inviteret på baggrund af en matematisk beregning i forhold til deres risiko for at blive indlagt. Sygeplejerskerne er specieluddannende i coaching og kombinerer rollerne som omsorgsperson, vidensperson og coach i deres telefonsamtaler med patienterne. I foredraget sættes fokus på den professionelle samtale, hvor sygeplejersken gør noget med patienten og ikke for patienten. Oplægsholderne vil lukke jer ind i maskinrummet og dele deres erfaringer med, hvad der sker, når sygeplejersken spørger patienten: ”Hvad er vigtigt for dig?” Forelæsningen finder sted i Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N.

He is a Professor of Sports Medicine at Univ of Copenhagen and Head of Institute of Sports Medicine, Bispebjerg Hospital, and performs research in skeletal muscle and connective tissue adaptation to exercise in healthy and diseased individuals, with a focus on physiological and pathophysiological tissue adaptation to injury and aging. Abstract The overall turnover of the tendon and cartilage in humans seems to be taking place primarily within the first 13-17 years of life, indicating that the basic structure remains relatively unchanged through adult life. Nevertheless, mechanical loading of adult human tendon results in tendon cell responses by producing growth factors and some support for loading-induced increase in tendon collagen synthesis. Comparing tissue turnover in different tissues simultaneously suggests that a combination of a more basic structure that remains relatively unchanged through adult life, and a smaller pool of collagen that is more quickly turned over and can be influenced by mechanical loading. Mechanical loading of adult human tendon results in release of tendon tissue stimulating factors, whereas inactivity down regulates collagen synthesis and phenotypic tendon characteristics. Adjustment of the tendon mechanical properties in the form of increased stiffness and modulus after strength training, and the reverse after period of immobilization occurs relatively fast. Age related changes in tendon connective tissue with reduced stiffness is largely explained by a reduction in overall physical activity and can thus be at least partly counteracted by regular training.

Research profile Abigail Mackey is Associate Professor at Center for Healthy Aging, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, and Institute of Sports Medicine at Bispebjerg Hospital. Her research is centred on the loss and gain of human skeletal muscle in young and elderly individuals through exercise and inactivity interventions, as well as muscle regeneration after strain and experimentally induced injury, with the use of tissue microscopy and primary cell culture to determine the nature of cell-cell interaction and whether pharmacological agents targeting inflammation are of physiological benefit. Abstract Skeletal muscle serves fundamental functions, ranging from generating mechanical force to regulating whole-body metabolic homeostasis, all of which decline with age. While muscle injury is usually associated with young adult athletes, injury to older adults represents a threat to maintaining a physically active lifestyle and thereby to a steeper decline in functional capacity. Underpinning skeletal muscle remodelling is the interplay between muscle stem satellite cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, and vascular cells. This interplay is tightly regulated temporally and spatially to orchestrate optimal tissue maintenance, adaptation and damage repair throughout the lifespan. While satellite cells are undoubtedly the most important cell type for muscle regeneration, fibroblasts in particular are emerging as positive regulators of muscle regeneration, by stimulating myogenic cell fusion, although how this interaction might change with age is currently unknown. The focus of this presentation will be on the regeneration of young and old human skeletal, with particular focus on the activity of satellite cells, macrophages and fibroblasts in relation to regenerating muscle fibres as well as their interactions in vitro.

";"Thea Toft Hansen PhD thesis Intentional weight loss activates several physiological mechanisms including stimulation of signalling molecules that increase appetite. Because appetite plays an important role in the individual’s ability to control energy intake, the upregulation of these mechanisms makes further weight loss as well as weight loss maintenance a real challenge. New dietary based concepts where appetite can be satisfied with less energy may be an option to help people manage body weight in order to maintain health and wellbeing throughout life. However, as the reasons for eating are highly multifactorial, it cannot be taken for granted that reduction in appetite improves body weight management. Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis as well as results from the SATIN study, the relationship between appetite and body weight management was investigated. Results from acute appetite tests (the STABLE and the SLIM8 studies) were additionally used to investigate different concepts for manipulating appetite. 2019, 221 pages.

However, several questions regarding the impact of specific fruits in human health remain unanswered. In this regard, the main obstacle to overcome is the inaccuracy of dietary assessment in human studies. To tackle this, the use of specific metabolites that arise in biofluids after the consumption of specific fruits, as proxies of exposure constitutes a more objective tool. This thesis aimed to identify and validate biomarkers of intake of over 20 different fruits including the most consumed; apple, banana, and tomato. For this, a twofold strategy was applied. First, a systematical review of the literature was performed to obtain already published biomarkers of different fruits. Then, experimental work using mass spectrometry was executed to discover urinary biomarkers of banana and tomato in urine samples of subjects recruited for a randomized control trial. The discovered biomarkers of the different fruits were then validated for their use in nutritional research according to a previously published panel of biological and analytical criteria. 2019, 274 pages.

Abstract Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15; also known as MIC-1) is a divergent member of the TGF-β superfamily and is associated with body-weight regulation in humans and rodents. However, the cognate receptor of GDF15 is unknown. Here we show that GDF15 binds specifically to GDNF family receptor α-like (GFRAL) with high affinity, and that GFRAL requires association with the coreceptor RET to elicit intracellular signaling in response to GDF15 stimulation. We also found that GDF15-mediated reductions in food intake and body weight of mice with obesity were abolished in GFRAL-knockout mice. We further found that GFRAL expression was limited to hindbrain neurons and not present in peripheral tissues, which suggests that GDF15-GFRAL-mediated regulation of food intake is by a central mechanism. Lastly, given that GDF15 did not increase energy expenditure in treated mice with obesity, the anti-obesity actions of the cytokine are likely driven primarily by a reduction in food intake.

The “condition” of skeletal muscle and its influence on the insulin-sensitizing effect of a single bout of exercise";"The “condition” of skeletal muscle and its influence on the insulin-sensitizing effect of a single bout of exercise Dorte Enggaard Steenberg PhD thesis Exercise is known to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. For instance, exercise training improves the ability of the body to regulate blood glucose levels, in part due to enhanced insulin action on glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. This is evident in both healthy individuals as well as in individuals with a reduced ability of insulin to increase glucose uptake (e.g. Type 2 diabetics). In addition to the effects of regular exercise training, a single bout of exercise also improves insulin action, an effect confined to the prior exercised muscle. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are not fully elucidated. Furthermore, factors determining the magnitude of the response both within the muscle and at a whole-body level are not completely known. Thus, the aim of the present thesis was to investigate factors important for insulin action in muscle and the enhancement by a single bout of exercise in humans. We demonstrated that the ability of the muscle to enhance insulin action in response to a single bout of exercise was reduced after a period of regular exercise training. We also demonstrated that exhaustive exercise of a small muscle group increased insulin action in the prior exercised muscle while at the same time impairing insulin action in non-exercised muscle. Due to the large amount of inactive muscles, this resulted in reduced whole-body insulin action after a single bout of exercise. Thus, the magnitude of the response to a single bout of exercise in muscle and at a whole-body level seems to be dependent on training status as well as the amount of inactive vs. active muscle mass engaged during exercise. Analysis of muscle biopsies confirmed previous findings in rodents that AMPK, an energy sensor of the cell, is important for mediating the effects of a single bout of exercise on insulin action. In addition, we also used a proteomic approach (a large scale study of proteins) to evaluate the protein signature of different types of human skeletal muscle fibers as well as the remodeling in response to exercise training. This provided a huge resource for future research and understanding of muscle metabolism. 2019, 194 pages.

Metabolic control in the genesis of fatigue v/ Professor Niels Ørtenblad, Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark. Abstract Skeletal muscle is faced with challenging problems related to metabolic regulation during exercise, where energy turnover nearly instantly increases dramatically. Intriguingly, the components of skeletal muscle fibers are highly organized in terms of localization and within this organization glycogen, lipid droplets and mitochondria are found in distinct locations. Recent studies have shown that the distribution of the metabolites is influenced by several factors as muscle work, obesity and disuse and that the different localizations of the stores are related to distinct processes in skeletal muscle function. Specifically, the sequence of complex steps in the muscle excitation-contraction coupling are either directly or indirectly dependent on the energy level of the muscle fiber and are affected by compartmentalized energy status. Thus, we have demonstrated that glycogen influences both muscle contractility and fatigability, through mechanisms involving basic ion regulation. Research Profile Niels Ørtenblad (NØ) is Professor and head of the Muscle Physiology and Biomechanics Research Unit at the Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark as well as Adjunct Professor at the Australian Catholic University, Melbourne, and Department of Health Sciences, Swedish Winter Sports Research Centre, Mid Sweden University. His research has been focused on the role of energy turn-over in cell function, with special emphasis on the muscle cell. He attempts to use research models from the integrated whole body to the organelle and protein level. The key research goal is to elucidate the complex interaction between metabolic mechanisms and control of normal muscle function and identify key mechanisms regulating muscle fatigue in different target groups including ageing. A better understanding of these mechanisms is a key step towards the development of well targeted health policies aimed at delaying muscle impairment and disability.

Muscle Fiber Type-selective Effects of Exercise on Phosphorylation of Key Signaling Proteins and Insulinstimulated Glucose Uptake v/ Greg Cartee, Professor and Associate Dean for Research, School of Kinesiology, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Abstract One exercise session can increase subsequent insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by skeletal muscle for several hours via mechanisms that remain to be completely elucidated. By definition, glucose uptake is a cellular process, so to fully understand exercise effects on muscle glucose uptake, it is necessary to understand glucose uptake at the cellular level. Accordingly, we developed and validated the first method that enables glucose uptake and muscle fiber type measurement in individual muscle fibers. Using this method, we have evaluated exercise-induced fiber type-specific effects on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle. We also recently performed fiber type-specific measurements of several important signaling proteins in skeletal muscle from exercised rats. I will present results from these studies and others to provide a unique perspective about exercise effects on insulin sensitivity.

Obesity is considered a complex and multifactorial condition, affected by interactions between environmental and genetic factors. The overall objective of this thesis was to investigate how genetic variants, circulating microRNAs, and dietary fibres affects obesity and weight loss. More specific, the role and potential genetic regulation of angiopoietin-like protein 3 was investigated in relation to body weight, lipid metabolism and liver health before and during a low-calorie diet in the DiOGenes study. Furthermore, it was investigated whether a diet supplemented with dietary fibres would induce greater body weight loss compared to placebo during energy restriction in an overweight/obese population in the My New Gut II study and whether the fibre-containing dietary supplements would affect the gut microbiome, lipid profile, and glucose metabolism. Finally, selected circulating miRNAs was analysed in response to weight loss and the potential of these circulating miRNAs as biomarkers of the metabolic syndrome was investigated. 2019, 164 pages.

Introduktion til foredraget På coachingsforedrag i marts 2019 hørte vi om, hvordan man kunne bruge historier fra fx film eller bøger i coaching. Ved dette arrangement, som afvikles i seminarform, bliver vi vores egen manuskriptforfatter ved at bruge billeder til at sætte gang i historierne og til at skabe metaforer. Vi vil afprøve 3 forskellige metoder, som viser hvordan man kan bruge billeder i coaching eller andre udviklende samtaler. Metoderne vil nemt kunne afprøves efterfølgende i andre sammenhænge. Efter afprøvning af metoderne, vil vi reflektere over billedernes anvendelse og udbredelse. Ud over det narrative og metaforiske som billederne lægger op til, så giver de fysiske billedkort et naturligt fælles tredje for samtalen. Samtidig vil motiverne kunne bruges til at udvikle samtalen.

Research profil Torben Hansen is Professor of Molecular Metabolism and Director of the Programme Human Genomics and Metagenomics in Metabolism at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Dr Hansen’s major research interests are the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, obesity and the metabolic syndrome, and the identification of genetic determinants for both mono and polygenic components of diabetes and obesity. Furthermore, his recent research is also focused on the impact of the gut and saliva microbiome on disease and health and the crosstalk between the host genome and the microbiome. Dr Hansen is Head of The Graduate PhD Programme for Basic Metabolic Research at University of Copenhagen and is involved in pre- and postgraduate educational activities at the Universities of Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense, and at the Steno Education Center Copenhagen. He has published more than 500 peer-reviewed original scientific articles and he has been cited more than 39,000 times and holds a H-factor of 80 according to web of science. About the seminars Indigenous people worldwide are in the middle of a social, demographic and cultural transition, which through changes in life style and living conditions results in an epidemiological transition. Inuit are a historically isolated indigenous population, for which both information about the genetic population structure, social transition and the disease pattern is exceptionally good and it is therefore ideal to study the consequences of the social transition on the changing disease pattern in this population. While studies of Greenland Inuit before the 1980s found a low prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to Western populations, two recent population studies among more than 4000 Greenland Inuit found a notably high prevalence of T2D (9%) and pre-diabetes (19%) in the adult population. We previously identified a loss-of-function variant in TBC1D4 segregating at high frequency in the Greenlandic population displaying a high impact on risk of type 2 diabetes, and recently we discovered a loss-of-function variant in adenylate cyclase 3 (ADCY3) that strongly associates with obesity and type 2 diabetes. The observed effect sizes are several times larger than any previous findings in large-scale genome-wide association studies, confirming the advantage of studying the Greenlandic population due to its extreme demographic history, which allows for the existence of common variations that are rare or absent elsewhere.

An early step in the progression to type 2 diabetes is that the skeletal muscle tissue exhibits an impaired ability for the hormone insulin to increase glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle tissue, a condition termed insulin resistance. At the molecular level, insulin-resistance is caused by a decrease ability for insulin to stimulate movement of glucose transporter proteins (GLUT4), from inside the muscle cells to the surface membranes. Intriguingly, a single bout of exercise acutely reverses muscle insulin resistance. Rodent studies suggest that prior exercise augments insulin-induced insertion of GLUT4 in the surface membrane but it is not known whether this is true for humans. Furthermore, our knowledge of how GLUT4 moves inside adult muscle is limited. In the current PhD study, we aimed to improve our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms regulating GLUT4 trafficking in adult rodent and human muscles both in prior exercised and insulin resistant muscle. 2019, 74 pages.

In Cambodia, the commonly used imported RUTFs are not well accepted for taste and texture. Therefore, a locally produced RUTF adapted to local preferences was developed. Seasonally available small fish was used, as a dried powder, as a locally produced high-quality protein ingredient in the RUTF. The aim of this PhD thesis was to optimise the fish-based RUTF product and to assess the acceptability among children and their caregivers. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the fish-based product was assessed in a 8 weeks randomised controlled trial in children in treatment for severe acute malnutrition, in comparison with a standard milk-based product. Lastly, whole blood polyunsaturated fatty acid status and their potential associations with nutrition and health status were assessed. The results showed that small dried fish from the Mekong River can be used in a RUTF product optimised to taste and preferences in Cambodia. The fish-based RUTF is a potential locally produced alternative to the imported milk-based RUTF currently used in the treatment of severe acute malnutrition in Cambodia. The study also showed that low status of polyunsaturated fatty acids was prevalent in malnourished children.

The Glymphatic System We have recently described a macroscopic pathway in the central nervous system – the glymphatic system that facilitates the clearance of interstitial waste products from neuronal metabolism. Glymphatic clearance of macromolecules is driven by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that flows in along para-arterial spaces and through the brain parenchyma via support from astroglial aquaporin-4 water channels. The glymphatic circulation constitutes a complete anatomical pathway; para-arterial CSF exchanges with the interstitial fluid, solutes collect along para-venous spaces, then drain into the vessels of the lymphatic system for ultimate excretion from the kidney or degradation in the liver. As such, the glymphatic system represents a novel and unexplored target for prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

HIIT promotes a number of adaptations resembling those associated with traditional endurance exercise, including quantitative and qualitative changes at the skeletal muscle mitochondrial level. However, the mechanisms underlying these similar adaptive responses in spite of divergent exercise stimuli are not completely clear. Hence, the examination of the skeletal muscle adaptive responses to HIIT with particular emphasis on the cellular pathways regulating mitochondrial quantity, quality and function would provide new insights into the physiological mechanisms involved in the performance- and health-enhancing effects of HIIT. Thus, the overall purpose of this thesis was to investigate the acute and chronic effects of HIIT in humans with specific emphasis on the adaptations occurring in skeletal muscle mitochondria. 2019, 103 pages.

However, in a busy daily schedule, time to develop and maintain adequate strength and endurance is often limited. Therefore, development of efficient training regimes where the invested time is minimal and outcome is maximal is of high importance. One possibly efficient strategy is to implement short duration training sessions (≤15 min) of both strength and endurance that can be completed in breaks during the day. The main aim of the present thesis was to investigate the difference in training outcome from micro-training (15 min sessions) compared to a volume and intensity matched classical military physical training regime (60 min sessions) in Danish Armed Forces conscripts during a basic military training program. A secondary aim was to explore individual adaptations to training related to initial training status in a large group. More precisely the following hypotheses were investigated: Four 15 min strength training sessions per week yield more pronounced functional and muscular adaptations as compared to one 60 min strength training session per week when added to basic military training. Four 15 min endurance training sessions per week yield more pronounced functional and muscular adaptations as compared to one 60 min endurance training session per week when added to basic military training. Functional and muscular adaptations are dependent on individual initial physical fitness status. Specifically, that the 1/3 of the population with the lowest initial physical capacity within a given variable will achieve the highest degree of adaptions while the 1/3 of the population with the highest initial physical capacity within a given variable will achieve the lowest degree of adaptation. 2019, 127 pages.

Time 29 March 2019 14:00-15:00: Seminar and discussion15:00-16:00: Post seminar servings and socializing Abstract Skeletal muscle works as a secretory organ with the capacity to produce hundreds of myokines. This finding provides a conceptual basis for understanding how muscles communicate with other organs such as adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, bones, and brain. Recent advances suggest that myokines play a role in role in tumor defense and that some myokines pass the blood-brain barrier to enhance BDNF and hence hippocampal neurogenesis and learning. The prototype myokine IL-6 is produced by contracting muscles and secreted into the circulation. Recent advances in understanding the physiological and biological roles of IL-6 demonstrate that IL-6 contributes to the regulation of glucose homeostasis in humans by affecting gastric emptying. Moreover, IL-6 seems to play a central role in regulating visceral adipose tissue mass in humans. Finally, IL-6 plays a role in directing natural killer cells to the tumor site during exercise and thereby appears to be involved in mediating exercise-induced anti-cancer effects.

Men sandheden er at vi alle sammen lever i og med historier og fortællinger i vores eget liv. Vi ser film, serier, læser bøger og hører lyd-bøder og følger vores helte i tykt og tyndt. Men hvilken helt er du selv i dit eget liv? Hvilken historie eller myte lever du efter? Brug myter, historier og fortællinger i coaching og bliv klogere på dit eget liv. Du vil møde gamle helte så som Herkules fra de græske myter men også nutidige figurer som Superman, Batman og Katniss Everdeen. Vi vil se på, hvordan disse historier stadig kan inspirere i samtalen og måske give fokusperson (og os selv) gode råd til, hvordan vi kan leve vores liv og klare livets udfordringer. Foredraget vil tage udgangspunkt i amerikanske litteratur professor Jospeh Campbell, der igennem hele sit liv arbejdede med myter, religioner og fortællinger fra hele verden. Vi vil se på hans ”Hero-Cycle”, der er en model, der ligger til grund for alle fortællinger og se, hvordan vi kan bruge den på vores eget liv. ”Enhver rejse begynder med det første skridt.” Sådan siger Frodo i Ringens Herre da han starter sit livs eventyr i den kendte historie.

It was hypothesized that the natural fluctuations of plasma volume are important for the sensitivity and specificity of the Athlete Biological Passport. It was further hypothesized that plasma albumin, soluble transferrin receptor and pro-atrial natriuretic peptide are sensitive markers for the plasma volume fluctuations and that adding the plasma volume independent reticulocyte percentage increase the sensitivity of the passport. Finally, the hypothesis that an autologous blood transfusion of half a blood bag (~135 ml red blood cells) improve cycling time-trial performance and that an autologous blood transfusion of two blood bags (~500 ml red blood cells) is detectable by an untargeted metabolomics analysis was investigated. 2019, 171 pages.

This is costly not only for the society, but also for the individual who experience reduced health-related quality of life. Undernutrition is caused by a reduced food intake due to internal and external factors in relation to the meal and the old adult, such as impaired senses, appetite regulation, the social setting during the meal and the meal itself. In nursing homes meals are often served through meals-on-wheels systems, which may reduce the sensory aspects of the meals and limit appetite stimulation. A way to combat the problem could be to suit these meals according to the sensory preferences of the target group. The purpose of this PhD thesis was three-fold: First to identify sensory commonalities of in-between-meals and main meals. Secondly, to describe the culinary optimization method of a menu shaped towards sensory preferences of nursing home residents. Lastly, to test if health-related quality of life could be increased in nursing home residents receiving a meals-on-wheels menu with favorite meals that was culinary and sensory improved. 2019, 144 pages.

CVD in CKD is not only related to traditional factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia, but the disturbance in the calcium-phosphate metabolism and vascular calcifications add a significant risk. CKD patients develop hyperphosphatemia, which has been shown to be associated with high prevalence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is a need to develop safe and sustainable therapeutic approaches to lower phosphate and FGF23 levels in CKD in order to prevent the vascular calcifications and cardiovascular disease.

It is unclear, whether the decrease in energy intake is simply due to eating smaller portions of the same food items or a shift in food preferences and choices towards less energy-dense foods. Changes in food preferences have been reported in several studies; however, the evidence is based on indirect measurements such as food records, questionnaires, and interviews, which are prone to inaccuracy. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate changes in food preferences after bariatric surgery using an ad libitum buffet meal test targeting direct behaviour. Furthermore, to investigate potential mechanisms behind changes in food preferences, sweet taste sensitivity and the hedonic evaluation of sweet, savoury and fatty food stimuli were assessed before and after bariatric surgery.

They have been widely applied in the nutrition area to evaluate dietary intake and its resulting biological consequences and the nutritional status of the study subjects. However, the existing classification schemes of biomarkers are ambiguous leading to uncertainty about their application. With the development of metabolomics technology, the biomarker research field is experiencing rapid changes and new biomarkers are continuously discovered. Challenges also emerge as metabolomics data is large scale, noisy and complex. Therefore, efficient data analysis tools are needed to extract the most relevant information from it. In this thesis, a classification scheme for the currently applied and newly discovered dietary and health biomarkers in the nutrition field is developed, the data analysis strategy in untargeted metabolomics studies is optimized for the more precise discovery of biomarkers and applied for the discovery of biomarkers related to onion consumption. We developed an improved scheme for biomarker classification based on their intended use rather than the technology or outcomes and suggested six subclasses. For the discovery of exposure biomarkers, different bi- and trilinear PLS models for variable selection in untargeted metabolomic studies were compared. Bilinear PLS model with group × time-response as dummy Y showed the best performance. This model has been applied in an onion intervention study and eight biomarkers of onion intake have been successfully discovered. 2018, 160 pages.

Time 7 December 2018 14:00-15:00: Seminar and discussion15:00-16:00: Post seminar servings and socializing Abstract Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is estimated to account for roughly 90% of cellular ATP production, though this can vary between cell types, metabolic conditions, and disease states. The efficiency of ATP production by OXPHOS is highly variable, and efficiency can be expressed as units ATP produced per unit of substrate oxidized, or as units ATP produced per unit of oxygen consumed. Efficiency of OXPHOS is affected by site of electron entry into the electron transport system. It also is greatly affected by proton leak uncoupling, and other routes of proton return to the mitochondrial matrix. Proton leak has poorly understood mechanisms, but includes the uncoupling proteins and the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT). Beyond decreasing the efficiency of OXPHOS, proton leak can decrease the emission of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from the electron transport system by lowering protonmotive force. High levels of ROS can cause damage to cellular lipids, proteins, DNA and RNA. However low levels of ROS are important in cell signaling processes. Glutathione is the major non-protein antioxidant in cells and in mitochondria. It also plays important roles in the post-translational modification of protein thiols, and this can protect the proteins from further damage, and can modify the function of the proteins. The latter concepts will be covered in this seminar, and experimental findings from studies of mouse and human skeletal muscles will be presented. Also presented will be findings from our clinical translational studies which demonstrate the importance of skeletal muscle OXPHOS in diet-sensitive versus diet-resistant obesity.

Periodization, i.e. switching between periods of normal and special diets, is a way to increase adherence but it is not known if the health-benefits of a LPHC diet would be retained on a periodized LPHC diet regimen. Furthermore, the interaction between a periodized LPHC diet regimen and exercise training is unknown. This is important to know since diet and exercise are commonly co-implemented to promote health. This PhD project investigated mainly the efficacy of periodized LPHC diet, provided in 14 day on/off cycles, to promote metabolic health and its interaction with concurrent voluntary wheel running in mice. A secondary study investigated the effect of a chronic normal, high and low protein diet on skeletal muscle insulin action. We found that a periodized LPHC diet regimen transiently conferred potent obesity-protective and insulin-sensitizing benefits, independent of skeletal muscle. Unexpectedly, concurrent exercise dampened some of these benefits, most notably the induction of a key mediator of LPHC actions, FGF21, in the liver. This suggests that a periodized LPHC diet regimen could be an effective health-promoting strategy but that its interaction with exercise warrants consideration. 2018, 78 pages.

Time 29 November 2018 12:30-13:30: Seminar and discussion13:30-14:30: Post seminar servings and socializing Abstract Calorie restriction (CR), or reducing calorie intake without malnutrition, robustly extends lifespan in model organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. CR restricts the intake of all macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat), but whether the effects of a CR diet are mediated solely by reduced caloric intake or reduced consumption of specific macronutrients has long been unclear. Over the last decade, research in organisms including flies and mice has highlighted a critical role for dietary protein in mediating longevity, with reduced consumption of dietary protein promoting longevity and improving metabolic health. However, the specific dietary components altered in a low protein diet that promote health and longevity remain unknown. In this talk, I will discuss ongoing research in my laboratory into the role of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs; leucine, isoleucine, valine) in regulating metabolic health and longevity.

Hence, it is important to understand its regulation in response to different stimuli. In study 1, we found that mTORC1 targets were regulated differentially, depending on the stimulus such as insulin, amino acids or passive stretch in mouse muscles. In study 2, the catabolic and anabolic signalling network in muscle was assessed by taking a global approach. Our analysis revealed a complex and intertwined network that will provide a valuable resource for future research. From this resource, a muscle-specific protein was identified as a novel target of mTORC1, linking mTORC1 to the regulation of muscle oxidative capacity in response to exercise. Altogether, the results of this PhD thesis provide novel insights into the differentiated regulation of mTORC1 targets upon various stimuli, and they may contribute considerably in the investigation of new therapeutic targets to sustain muscle mass and health. 2018, 163 pages.

Using-state-of the art MS workflows, we measured deep muscle proteomes and secretome. We applied to these workflows to monitor exercise-induced remodeling of skeletal muscle as well as to investigate metabolic rearrangements in pathological conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Our studies lead to discovery of hundreds of novel proteins which were not associated with exercise or diabetes and suggest starting points for exploring their role in muscle metabolism.

Exploring skeletal muscle plasticity and age-related changes by single fiber proteomics v/ Assistant Professor Marta Murgia, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Padova, Italy and Department of Proteomics and Signal Transduction, Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry, Germany. Abstract To perform their diverse tasks, skeletal muscles employ four different fiber types, one type 1/slow and three different type 2/fast fibers, which are multinucleated cellular units with different contractile and metabolic properties. We have measured the proteome of single mouse muscle fibers using a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based workflow optimized for low abundant and high dynamic range samples. Our results provided a system view of muscle fiber diversity, highlighting a mitochondrial specialization in different fiber types. We have more recently compared human muscle fibers from young and older physically active donors, to study the impact of aging without confounding effects of inactivity. We detected changes in carbohydrate metabolism and sarcomere homeostasis which might underlie the ability of slow, but not fast, muscle fibers to maintain their mass during aging.

Abstract I will first illustrate how the proteomics approach can i) provide a better profile of the protein composition of the different muscle fiber types compared to previous traditional approaches and ii) become a discovery tool. I will then make the point that the potential of proteomics and other omics approaches is presently poorly utilized because most studies are confined to a number of genes/proteins already extensively characterized.

A major focus in my research has been to define the heterogeneity of muscle cells in skeletal and cardiac muscle. We focused initially on myosin heavy chains and prepared a battery of specific antibodies, which led to the discovery of a novel fast-type myosin, called type 2X, and a corresponding fiber type. In the course of these studies we serendipitously found that cardiac muscle cells are also heterogeneous in term of myosin composition, thus providing specific molecular markers that for the first time allowed to distinguish between muscle cell populations in atrial and ventricular myocardium and heart conduction tissue. More recently, we focused on the mechanisms that control fiber type specification, using an in vivo transfection approach based on intramuscular injection of plasmid DNA to generate selective perturbations of different signaling pathways. We found that the calcineurin-NFAT pathway controls activity-dependent fiber type specification, while the Akt-mTOR pathway controls muscle growth. Subsequent studies, in collaboration with Marco Sandri and Alfred Goldberg, showed that FoxO transcription factors control the two main pathways of protein degradation in muscle cells, the proteasomal and autophagic-lysosomal pathways. More recent work deals with i) circadian rhythms in skeletal muscle, ii) single muscle fiber proteomics, iii) the role of the MRF4-MEF2 axis in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth. I am presently working in the lab of Michael Kjaer and Abigail Mackey in Copenhagen on the human myotendinous junctions.

Først er det pædagogiske teoretiske grundlag beskrevet, og herefter har jeg observeret fem læreres udeskole-undervisning i løbet af et år. Analysen af undervisningen peger på, at omkring halvdelen af undervisningen uden for klasserummet er undersøgelsesbaseret, hvor eleverne har mulighed for at vælge forskellige løsningsmuligheder til de stillede opgaver. Herefter har jeg interviewet ti erfarne udeskolelærere, for at undersøge hvordan det er at være den lærer der tager beslutningen om at gå ud og har ansvaret for at gennemføre undervisningen. Denne undersøgelse viser, at disse lærere oplever at de i udeskole får brug for deres lærer-kompetancer, og forholdsvist frit kan planlægge og gennemføre en undervisning der er i overensstemmelse med deres værdier. Men udeskole-lærerne kan føle sig isolerede på lærerværelset. Afhandlingens sidste artikel giver et bud på, hvordan erfarne udeskolelærere opfatter god udeskoleundervisning.

However, we lack knowledge on whether vitamin D status affects children's immune defence against respiratory infections and their cardiometabolic health. This Phd thesis investigates effects of vitamin D supplementation during winter on immune function measured as various defence proteins and on cardiometabolic health measured as blod pressure, insulin and blood cholesterol, in healthy 4-8 year-old Danish children. Moreover, the thesis provides a systematic review of studies conducted in overweight and normal weight children and adolescents, which have investigated effects of vitamin D supplementation on blood pressure, insulin and blood cholesterol. The results show that vitamin D supplementation during winter had limited effects on various immune defence proteins and no effects on various cardiometabolic outomes in healthy 4-8 year-old Danish children. Moreover, it shows that most studies, which have investigated cardiometabolic effects of vitamin D supplementation in children and adolescents also found no beneficial effects. 2018, 154 pages.

Introduktion til foredraget Formålet med affektiv læring er at åbne sanserne, så man lærer at mærke og dermed lægge mærke til hvad der sker i praksis, i modsætning til at tænke sig til, hvad der kunne ske og sker. Den affektive læring skærper vores evne til at iagttage og handle. Dermed bringer den os tættere på en mere realistisk og ofte også et nyt syn på virkeligheden. I modsætning hertil står vores evne til at tænke og reflektere, baseret på abstrakte forestillinger om hvad der kan ske. Den affektive læring er en forstyrrelse af det, man allerede kan og ved. For mange er affektiv læring fremmed og kræver en træning, som forudsætter klare rammer for eksperimenter med sanserne, efterfulgt af refleksioner over de erfaringer der følger med. Men det er også en dialog, der følger med. En anderledes dialog, som stiller krav om at kunne lytte og åbne for nye tanker. Jeg har i min forskning set, hvordan dialog baseret den affektive læring kan skærpe de værdier, der ligger til grund for vores liv og handlinger.

Moreover, there is a knowledge gap when it comes to the potential health consequences of a low vitamin D status in children during winter. In this PhD thesis, the relation between vitamin D intake and the concentration of vitamin D in the blood is examined, in order to estimate the requirement of vitamin D in children. Moreover, it is investigated if winter vitamin D supplementation has an effect on children’s muscle strength and selected growth factors. The PhD thesis shows that muscle strength in healthy children aged 4-8 years is not influenced by a daily vitamin D supplementation during winter; however, the concentration of some growth factors is affected. 2018, 141 pages.

Under højintens fysisk aktivitet udvikles der almindeligvis hurtigt træthed bl.a. i skeletmusklerne, som er begrænsende for præstationsevnen. Indtag af kosttilskud, der forsinker træthedsudviklingen, kan i denne forbindelse være af afgørende betydning for præstationsevnen. I denne ph.d.-afhandling undersøges potentielle præstationsfremmende effekter af kosttilskuddene beta-alanin og natriumhydrogencarbonat indtaget enkeltvis eller kombineret under forskellige højintense fysiske test på grupper af elite- og veltrænede atleter. Et af ph.d.-afhandlingens resultater viser, at et kombineret indtag af beta-alanin og natrium-hydrogencarbonat forbedrer veltrænede atleters evne til at opretholde en høj intensitet i længere tid, mens ingen af de to kosttilskud alene har en effekt på præstationsevnen hos hverken elite eller veltrænede atleter. 2018, 120 sider.

Abstract Between 6-10% of women have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) which carries a major health burden across metabolic, mental and reproductive health. PCOS is under-recognised by health professionals, it is not a major national priority area, and considered an uncommon disease. Yet, PCOS leaves women on track for a plethora of diverse, often chronic conditions ranging from anxiety and depression, infertility, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and pregnancy complications to cardiovascular disease and stroke. PCOS is becoming more severe as the population gains weight as obesity exacerbates all health outcomes. More concerning is for women with PCOS is that we don’t fully understand the aetiology of the syndrome and we have no optimal treatments. In this talk I will explore the aetiology and molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance, before exploring the evidence for exercise therapy in PCOS.

Brief CV Professor Nigel Stepto completed a substantial proportion of his studies at the University of Cape Town South Africa before completing his PhD at RMIT University in 2002. He joined Victoria University in 2007 after working at Monash University. He holds honorary appointments at Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation (MCHRI) and the Australian Institute for Musculoskeletal Science (AIMSS). Prof Stepto, while having a substantive teaching load in the Exercise Science and Clinical Exercise Science courses at Victoria University, he is servicing patients and actively undertaking basic and mechanistic, and clinical research in exploring impacts of exercise training in health and disease. His work aims to understand aetiologies of metabolic and endocrine diseases from the perspective of dysfunctional skeletal muscle and understanding how exercise therapy can be used to address these metabolic and endocrine disorders, specifically Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This work encompasses many disciplines including molecular biology and biochemistry, cell biology, muscle physiology and clinical trials and implementation science and is supported by many national and international collaborations. This work has resulted in 71 publications with >3000 citations. He obtained significant research income from NHMRC (project grants (CI) and Centre of Research Excellence (AI)), Diabetes Australia and other sources. He has developed expertise in research translation and implementation in lifestyle therapy in PCOS, serving on a national and international guideline development groups, contributing to the translation and implementation of research into practice via evidence synthesis, advocacy and dissemination of these guidelines to patients and healthcare practitioners. Overall Prof Stepto’s career has been driven by a passion to understand complex diseases and explore the role of exercise in prevention and treatment of these diseases. To achieve these goals he leads a growing team of dynamic early career researchers and research students (PhD, masters, honours and undergraduates) in work that extends from benchtop to bedside and back.

Spørgsmålet, som vi gerne vil stille, er: Kan man coache en hel organisation? Skal man lykkes med at coache en organisation, handler det ofte om at have samtaler om, hvordan en organisations deltagere organiserer sig rundt om opgaven eller hvordan man i organisationen får et koordineret og fælles syn på samarbejdet – hvor coaching af den enkelte ofte handler om, at den enkelte skal finde en forholdemåde i forhold til at være i en opgave eller finde en vej. I coaching af organisationer skal vi anvende alt det, vi har i bagagen, fra individuelle samtaler – vi skal evne at lytte, stille refleksive og udforskende spørgsmål – og fremfor alt er det nødvendigt at coache om relationer og koordinering. I dagens foredrag fortæller Asbjørn Molly og Hanne V. Moltke om, hvordan man kan arbejde med organisationscoaching i forhold til store, strategiske indsatser eller i forhold til arbejdsmiljøproblematikker. Foredraget bliver en blanding af oplæg, samtaler og fælles refleksion. Asbjørn Molly er cand.mag. i litteraturvidenskab og moderne kultur og senior practitioner coach (EMCC) forfatter og medforfatter til en lang række bøger og artikler om coaching, organisationsudvikling og ledelse. Han har mere end 10 års erfaring som organisations- og ledelseskonsulent fra ansættelser i Attractor, Rambøll Management og nu New Stories. Han underviser på Master i Organisatorisk Coaching og Læring på Aalborg Universitet. Hanne V. Moltke er uddannet cand.mag i engelsk og historie fra Københavns Universitet, akkrediteret coach og proceskonsulent på senior practitioner-niveau (EMCC) og medforfatter til en lang række bøger og artikler om social kapital. Hun er partner i New Stories og arbejder der med social kapital, konfliktopløsning, mediation, proceskonsulation, lederudvikling, facilitering og supervision.

Forekomsten af type 2 diabetes stiger og er associeret med højere risiko for udvikling af hjerte-kar-sygdom. Mælkefedt har et højt indhold af mættet fedt, som er kendt for at øge LDL-kolesterol i blodet. LDL-kolesterol er en risiko faktor for hjerte-kar-sygdom. Officielle kostråd anbefaler derfor magre mælkeprodukter. Dog er disse anbefalinger ikke i overensstemmelse med observationelle studier, der rapporterer om, at der ikke er sammenhæng mellem indtag af mælkeprodukter og risiko for hjerte-kar-sygdom, og som endda peger på en gunstig sammenhæng med type 2 diabetes.

Denne afhandling demonstrerer, at en forøgelse af den cellulære signalering via cGMP øger blodgennemstrømningen og iltleverancen under et-bens sparkearbejde i ældre, men ikke i unge, moderat trænede mænd. Særligt interessant blev det demonstreret, at 8 ugers træning fjernede effekten af cGMP potensering i de ældre forsøgspersoner. Sammenholdt antyder disse resultater, at reduceret cGMP signalering bidrager til den forringede blodgennemstrømning og iltleverance til skeletmuskler hos ældre mænd, og at en forstærkning i cGMP signaleringen er en af mekanismerne, som er underliggende den træningsinducerede forbedring i reguleringen af blodgennemstrømning og iltleverance under arbejde i ældre mænd. 2018, 157 sider.

Abstract Gene transfer technology could be used for boosting physical performance of athletes. Viral-vector mediated gene transfer has the highest potential to successfully manipulate specific performance traits. In a clinical context, somatic gene therapy trials with viral vectors have recently proven to be effective and could become even safer in combination with CRISPR. Such manipulations are detectable during the initial phase of viremia, but were believed to be undetectable after stable integration of transgenes into skeletal muscle cells. During the past decade, we developed liquid biopsy approaches that are now able to precisely quantify single molecules specific for gene doping in blood samples several months following stable integration of the transgene into solid tissues. In basic research, such sensitive measurements have enabled us to unravel rapid increases of cell free DNA and micro-vesicles in a work-load related fashion during exercise. In a clinical context, further refined liquid biopsy approaches now enable us to monitor the concentrations of cancer-cell specific kRAS mutations in the blood of colorectal cancer patients during surgical resection or exercise testing. Liquid biopsy approaches may not be readily employed for detecting gene doping, but are valuable tools for improving clinical and performance diagnostics in sports medicine.

The research was conducted as a cluster-randomized double-blinded intervention including 2,500 children age 6 to 16 years in 20 schools. Different types of fortified rice kernels were initially tested for nutrient retention during storage, and then served as breakfast meals all school days over a 6 months intervention period. It was found that fortified rice could help to improve micronutrient status, health and cognitive performance of schoolchildren, but not likely to control anaemia and growth retardation. School-feeding with fortified rice is a promising strategy to improve nutritional status, in combination with other health programs such as improved hygiene and effective deworming. 2017, 160 pages.

I sin sidste bog ”Kunsten at dvæle i dialogen – Kvalificering af professionelle hverdagssamtaler gennem tredje generations coaching” beskæftiger han sig ligeledes med dette emne. Introduktion til foredraget Dannelse af identitet og udvikling af vores selv er en helt central udfordring i en tid, hvor sociale relationer og deres kompleksitet udvider sig ekstremt, især gennem de mange kontakter og berøringsflader vi har via digitale medier og den informationsmængde, der strømmer over os hver dag. Der fremlægges fundamentale sammenhænge, der ligger i identitetsudvikling, nemlig at være sig selv og at udvikle sig og blive formet gennem andre. Flere teoretiske positioner og refleksioner fremlægges for at vise forskellige måder at forstå identitet og selvopfattelse på. Følgende spørgsmål søges at besvare: Hvilken rolle spiller coaching og andre frugtbare dialoger som rum til selvrefleksion og identitetsudvikling og muligvis også som en form for anker eller modvægt til de aktuelle samfundsmæssige udfordringer?

Kostomlægning er én strategi for at forebygge og behandle fedme og dets følgesygdomme, men eksperter er endnu ikke enige i hvilken kostsammensætning som er optimal til at forbedre vægtvedligeholdelse efter et vægttab. Desuden har man fundet ud af at tarmbakterier er associeret med fedme og dets følgesygdomme og det vil formentlig blive relevant for fremtidig behandling og forebyggelse. I denne PhD afhandling blev det undersøgt hvordan ernæring herunder kalcium, protein, fiber og flerumættede fedtsyrer påvirker tarmen og tarmbakterierne i forhold til fedme og dets følgesygdomme. Resultaterne har vist at I) protein supplement ikke forbedrer vægtvedligeholdelse efter et vægttab sammenlignet med kulhydrat, II) kalciumindtag forbedrer blodtryk og kolesteroltal til trods for at udskillelsen af fedt i afføringen ikke øges og III) fiberindtag øger forekomsten af de gavnlige Bifidobakterier hvorimod indtag af flerumættede fedtsyrer ikke ændrer bakteriesammensætningen i tarmen. 2017, 227 sider.

Desuden er Katja Balslev Nielsen underviser og supervisor i den empowerment-orienterede tilgang i flere af landets jobcentre. Coaching benyttes ofte i en professionel hjælperfunktion, hvilket kan resultere i, at der er en ulige fordeling af magt. Men hvordan skaber man en ligeværdig dialog i en ulige relation? Og hvordan kan vi benytte os selv og vores væren som afgørende element for relationen og dialogen? Gennem praksiseksempler og teoretiske perspektiver vil foredraget illustrere, hvordan den faglige kompetence sjældent kan stå alene, men må understøttes af den professionelles relationskompetence. Her kastes der lys på, hvordan relationskompetencen kan understøttes ved at vende empowerment tilgangen indad mod sig selv og derved blive fundament for vores væren og derved åbne op for nye muligheder for relationen og dialogen. Målet er, at du efterfølgende har fået et indblik i, hvordan dit etiske ståsted og selvrefleksion er tæt forbundet med din følelse af empowerment, og hvordan det kan blive betydningsbærende for den ligeværdige og transformerende dialog.

Fordi overvægt kan medfører en række alvorlige livstilssygdomme såsom hjertekarsygdomme, bliver der blandt forskere, politikere og praktikere dedikeret mange ressourcer hjælpe overvægtige personer med tabe sig. Et eksempel på det er de såkaldte intensive livstilsinterventioner hvor deltagere bor sammen med ligesindede i en kort periode og intensivt arbejder på at skifte livstil dvs. blive mere fysisk aktive, spise sundere osv. Selvom sådanne interventioner er meget effektive på den korte bane, viser studier desværre også at der ofte ses tilbagefald når interventionen er slut. Formålet med afhandlingen var at undersøge, hvordan motivation og viljestyrke (volition) påvirker den svære opgave, det er at opretholde et vægttab i perioden, der følger efter en intensiv livstilsintervention. Afhandlingen viser at en intensiv livstilsintervention, for at sikre et langvarigt vægttab, aktivt bør understøtte motionsdeltagelse i perioden, der følger umiddelbart efter interventionsafslutning. Det blev klart, at for at kunne gøre dette, er det nødvendigt, at intervenere på deltagernes motionsspecifikke motivation og volitionelle egenskaber. 2017, 148 sider,ISBN 978 87 7209 041 2.

Fundamentet var at skabe et fællesskab for drengene omkring et ”fælles tredje” (et holdspilsprojekt med fodbold, samt coaching/mentoring i skolen). Projektet tog endvidere udgangspunkt i udvikling af aktivt medborgerskab ved involvering og medinddragelse af unge i deres lokalmiljø, med det formål at udvikle sociale relationer og fællesskaber, der er mere end bare summen af de involverede individer. Projektets teoretiske fundament bygger blandt andet på ’community psykologi’ og aktionsforskning, social kapital og livsduelighed. Projektet blev dokumenteret både med spørgeskemaer, feltarbejde, interviews og resulterede bl.a. i deltagernes oplevelse af en positiv udvikling på følgende områder: a) øget social trivsel, b) forbedret selvopfattelse, c) forbedret oplevelse af fysiske evner og d) forbedrede samarbejdsevner i deres klasse.

Studiet viste høj acceptabilitet af alle produkter, men børn, der fik en melblanding baseret på majs og soja (corn-soy blend, CSB) havde oftere rester tilbage efter endt måltid i forhold til børn der fik en mere fedt-baseret peanut masse (lipid-based supplement, LNS) og blev i højere grad madet med tvang. CSB blev desuden ikke serveret så ofte eller tilberedt som anbefalet. LNS og alle produkter med et højt indhold af mælk var generelt mere værdsat, mens smag, lugt og konsistens ikke var påvirket af mængden af mælk eller kvaliteten af soja i produkterne. Både CSB og LNS blev delt med andre børn i husholdningen. Disse fund underbygger resultater relateret til den biologiske effekt af produkterne og bidrager dermed til den evidens der kan danne grundlag for fremtidig behandling af de millioner af børn med moderat akut underernæring.

Der har specielt været fokus på den gruppe af insektarter, der let kan opdrættes og masseproduceres. En af disse arter er Gryllidae familien (fårekyllinger), og en af de ældste og mest udviklede eksempler på domestificeret fårekyllingeproduktion findes i Thailand. I næsten 20 år har tusindvis af thailandske landmænd opbygget og udviklet et landbrugssystem omkring fårekyllingeproduktionen, som udover at levere mad til husholdningsbehov også har forbedret deres beskæftigelses- og indkomstmuligheder. Med inspiration i denne thailandske succeshistorie er interessen steget for at promovere små og mellemstore insektopdrætssystemer i andre lav- og mellemindkomstlande (LMIC), som for eksempel Kenya. Det politiske miljø for fårekyllingeproduktion, de sociale- og miljømæssige konsekvenser i Thailand og potentialet for- og tilpasningen af fårekyllingeproduktion i Kenya, er dog ikke udbredt. Der er derfor et umiddelbart behov for mere forskning i fårekyllingeproduktionens betydning for ernæring, for livet på landet og for miljøet. Denne ph.d. afhandling adresserer den manglende forskning ved brug af en litteraturgennemgang og gennem en empirisk undersøgelse af to cases i Thailand og Kenya. I afhandlingen undersøger jeg virkningerne af fårekyllingeproduktionssystemer i forhold til levevilkår, ernæring og miljø i landdistrikter i det nordlige Thailand og Kenya. Afhandlingen bidrager til forskningsprojektet ’GREEiNSECT: Insects for Green Economy’, der sætter fokus på insektproduktionens rolle i den grønne økonomi.

Internationale studier og danske evalueringsrapporter viser, at denne gruppe elever bl.a. har sociale og motoriske udfordringer, og at lærere generelt har forbehold over for denne målgruppe i sådan en grad, at det kan vanskeliggøre inklusionen bl.a. i idrætsundervisningen. Denne afhandling belyser de inkluderende processer for elever med autisme og ADHD i idrætsundervisningen på to skoler i Aalborg Kommune. Der er fulgt 11 elever med autisme og ADHD i skolen over et år, med særlig fokus på observationer af deres deltagelse i idrætsundervisningen. Perspektiver fra idrætslærere, forældre, skoleledere, klassekammerater og den pædagogiske konsulent i kommunen inddrages via interviews og netværksanalyser til at undersøge fokuselevernes relationer, og de muligheder og begrænsninger der er i idrætsundervisningen. Afhandlingen viser bl.a. at mange af fokuseleverne har en social position, der begrænser deres muligheder for at blive inkluderet i idrætsundervisningen, og som ikke er knyttet til deres idrætskompetencer. 2017, 317 sider, ISBN 978 87 9177 168 2 Tid 27. juni 2017, kl. 10.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Lektor Laila Ottesen (formand), Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Københavns Universitet.

Den insulin-stimulerede glukoseoptagelse blev reduceret, hvilket var relateret til en stigning i fedtoxidation, snarere end dysfunktionel insulin signalering. Omvendt bevirkede tre dages høj kulhydratindtagelse en stigning i kulhydratoxidation, og dermed glukoseoptagelsen. Derudover blev det fundet insulinfølsomheden var upåvirket når raske personer indtog en umættet eller mættet fedtrig kost (64 E%) over seks uger, sålænge de var under energibalance. En øget optagelse samt oxidation af fedt i skeletmuskulaturen, samt en nedsat nydannelse af fedtsyrer i leveren, medvirkede til håndtering af det høje fedtindtag.

Abstract In skeletal muscle fibers, a large fraction of mitochondria resides in close proximity to myofibrils where ATP production is essential for contraction. Sub-sarcolemmal mitochondria have a different distribution and contain different components of the metabolic protein complexes. We studied mitochondrial Ca2+ transients following membrane depolarization by potassium (or electrical stimulation) of single skeletal muscle fibers, and their relation with metabolic output and membrane potential changes in mitochondria. Surface depolarization of adult fibers increased both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels which required functional IP3R and RyR1 channels. Inhibition of either one of these channels decreased basal O2 consumption rate. Depolarization-induced Ca2+ signals were accompanied by a reduction in mitochondria membrane potential in sub-sarcolemmal mitochondria; Ca2+ signals propagated towards intermyofibrillar mitochondria, where mitochondrial membrane potential increased. These results suggest a Ca2+-dependent propagation of mitochondria membrane potential from the surface towards the center of the fiber.

Der eksisterer ikke konsensus om, hvilket ernæringstilskud, der skal bruges i behandling. Tidligere undersøgelser af effekten af ernæringstilskud til børn med MAM har oftest fokuseret på antropometriske målinger, og der er sparsom viden om effekten af ernæringstilskuds på jernmangel, anæmi og inflammation. I et stort randomiseret studie (Treatfood) i Burkina Faso, blev effekten af nøglefaktorer i ernæringstilskud undersøgt: ernæringstilskud med lipid-nutrient supplements (LNS) i forhold til majs-soja blandinger førte til højere hæmoglobin og bedret jernstatus, men mere inflammation. Der syntes ikke at være nogen fordel ved at tilsætte mælk eller ved at udskifte afskallet soja med et dyrere soja isolat.

Abstract The gp130 receptor cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) can improve obesity and insulin resistance in both mice and humans (Carey et al. Diabetes 55, 2688-2697, 2006; Watt et al. Nat Med 12, 541-548, 2006). However, due to the known inflammatory effects of IL6 and the antigenic response in some patients to the clinically used form of CNTF (Axokine), both proteins have limited, if any, therapeutic utility. In an attempt to overcome this issue, we engineered a chimeric gp130 ligand, termed IC7, where one gp130 binding site has been removed from IL6 and replaced with the LIFR binding site from CNTF. This ‘module swap’ creates a new cytokine with CNTF-like, but IL-6R dependent activity. Here, we show that IC7 significantly improves glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia and prevents weight gain and liver steatosis in diet-induced obese mice. In addition, we have shown efficacy and safety in non-human primates. In comprehensive human cell based assays, we show that IC7 treatment results in no signs of immunogenicity or inflammation. Thus, IC7 is a realistic and viable next generation biological for the treatment of obesity and T2D, disorders that are currently pandemic.

Parker, PhD, NHMRC Early Career Fellow, Metabolic Systems Biology Group, Charles Perkins Centre, School of Life and Environmental Science, The University of Sydney, Australia. Abstract Hepatosteatosis is rapidly becoming one of the primary morbidities in developed countries, owing to its causal effects in diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, our understanding of the contributing metabolic pathways that initiate and progress hepatosteatosis to subsequent complications is still poorly understood. Therefore, further studies are required to define these pathways to better manage and treat hepatosteatosis. Here, we take advantage of recent developments in “omics” technologies to perform high resolution proteomics (>5000 proteins) and quantitative lipidomics (>300 lipids) on livers (n=3) from 107 strains of inbred, genetically diverse mice from the hybrid mouse diversity panel (HMDP). Subsequent analyses demonstrate a striking 27-fold difference in hepatic triglyceride content across the strains in 8-week old, male mice on a normal chow diet. This was associated with marked, yet specific alterations in the hepatic proteome and lipidome which, once integrated with genomic and phenomic datasets, has allowed us to define several dysregulated pathways associated with genetically predisposed hepatosteatosis.

Abstract Experimental mouse genetics represents a powerful tool for analyzing complex gene/ gene and gene/environment interactions in metabolic diseases. Polygenic mouse models reflect the complexity of human metabolic diseases sufficiently well. They are particularly suitable to analyze pathophysiological molecular mechanisms as well as interactions of genetic factors with the environment. We recently generated outbred populations from parental strains that strongly differ in their insulin sensitivity and their risk for developing type 2 diabetes (e.g. NZO, 129P2, C3H, SJL). Several genetic loci for diabetes-related traits were identified by linkage analysis and characterization of recombinant congenic lines (RCS). Molecular analysis of candidate genes, in particular the RabGAP Tbc1d1 has provided novel insights into the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism.

IMTG nedbrydes ved lipolysen i situationer med lav energi tilgængelighed såsom under muskel arbejde. Energisensoren AMPK er blevet sat i forbindelse med regulering af lipolysen, men hvorvidt AMPK er en aktivator eller en hæmmer af lipolysen i skelet muskulatur er ikke fyldestgørende belyst. Resultater fra denne PhD afhandling viser at AMPK er en vigtig aktivator af lipolysen under muskel kontraktioner ved at fosforylerer lipaserne ATGL og HSL. Dysregulering af lipolyse medfører akkumulering af DAG der er sat i forbindelse med nedsat insulin følsomhed i skelet muskler, dog er det ikke alle studier der er i stand til at vise denne sammenhæng. DAG findes i forskellige kemiske strukturer afhængig af hvordan den er genereret, og indgår i forskellige reaktioner. Således kan DAGs rolle i nedsat insulin følsomhed i skeletmuskulatur være afhængig af den kemiske struktur af DAG. Resultater fra denne PhD afhandling viser at DAG akkumulering som følge af dysregulering af lipolysen ikke signalerer til nedsat insulin følsomhed i skelet muskler. 2017, 189 sider.

More recently they have also been implicated in redox signalling. Over the past years we have developed a series of mitochondria-targeted compounds designed to ameliorate or determine how this damage occurs. I will outline some of this work, from MitoQ to the mitochondria-targeted S-nitrosating agent, called MitoSNO, that we showed was effective in preventing ROS formation in IR injury with therapeutic implications. In addition, the protection by this compound suggested that ROS production in IR injury was mainly coming from complex I. This led us to investigate the mechanism of the ROS production and using a metabolomic approach we found that the ROS production in IR injury came from the accumulation of succinate during ischaemia that then drove mitochondrial ROS production by reverse electron transport at complex I during reperfusion. This surprising mechanism led up to develop further new therapeutic approaches to impact on the damage that mitochondrial ROS do in pathology and also to explore how mitochondrial ROS can act as redox signals. I will discuss how these unexpected mechanisms may lead to redox signals from mitochondria in conditions such as cancer and inflammation.

Research profile Dr. Mike Murphy received his BA in chemistry at Trinity College, Dublin in 1984 and his PhD in Biochemistry at Cambridge University in 1987. After stints in the USA, Zimbabwe, and Ireland he took up a faculty position in the Biochemistry Department at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand in 1992. In 2001 he moved to the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit in Cambridge, UK (then called the MRC Dunn Human Nutrition Unit) where he is a group leader. Murphy’s research focuses on the roles of reactive oxygen species in mitochondrial function and pathology. In particular he has pioneered the targeting of bioactive and probe molecules to mitochondria in vivo. This general methodology is now widely used. Prominent mitochondria-targeted compounds are antioxidants, such as MitoQ, which protects against oxidative damage in ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Murphy developed MitoQ as an oral drug which has been used in two Phase II trials so far. This work established mitochondria as a relevant drug target and opened up the field of mitochondrial pharmacology. The Murphy group has gone on to create MitoSNO, a mitochondria-targeted nitric oxide donor which is now being developed as a potential therapy for cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion injury, and MitoG to treat diabetes. Recently his work has extended to determining the mechanism by which mitochondria produce free radicals during ischaemia-reperfusion injury in heart attack and stroke. Murphy is a Wellcome Trust Investigator, honorary research Professor at the University of Otago, New Zealand, a recipient of the Keilin Medal from the Biochemical Society and is an honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. He has published more than 270 papers and has a h-index of 87.

En længerevarende periode med intens træning samt en periode med øget hyppighed af intens træning fører til yderligere forbedret kortvarig præstationsevne (<6 min) og vedligehold af 10-km præstationsevne. Formtopning, dvs. reduceret træningsvolumen, forbedrer kortvarig præstationsevnen yderligere. En gentaget periode med intens træning, efter en periode med habituel træning, har en større effekt på kortvarig præstationsevne end den første periode, mens effekten for 10 km præstationsevne er proportional, når en periode med intens træning gentages. Samlet set viser disse resultater, at kortvarig præstationsevne forbedres med forskellige sammensætninger af intens træning, og at forbedret 10 km præstationsevne, som er forbundet med forbedret løbeøkonomi, opnås relativt hurtigt.

Fedt-fri masse var det primære effektmål og var større, når der blev behandlet med lipid-nutrient supplements (LNS) vs majs-soja blandinger, hvorimod der ikke var hovedeffekter i majs-kvalitet eller mælkeindhold. Endvidere, blev det fastslået at kropslængde ikke bør anvendes til at definere berettigelse til behandling.

I de fleste lande fokuserer de officielle kostråd til forebyggelse af hjertekarsygdomme på, at reducere indtaget af mættet fedt (SFAs), især fra mejeriprodukter. Derfor anbefaler Fødevarestyrelsen fedtreducerede mejeriprodukter for at mindske indtaget af de kolesterolhævende mættede fedtsyrer der findes i fuldfede mejeriprodukter. Disse anbefalinger er dog blevet kontroversielle, da data fra observationsstudier ikke har fundet nogen skadelig sammenhæng mellem indtaget af fuldfede mejeriprodukter og risiko for udvikling af hjertekarsygdomme. Tværtimod lader det til, at især fuldfed ost ikke er forbundet med risikoen for at udvikle hjertekarsygdomme og type 2 diabetes.

However, PLHIV who live in Africa face various social, economic, and health-related challenges that affect their quality of life. Food insecurity and mental health problems, both of which are common among PLHIV in Africa, can be detrimental to quality of life. This research undertaking aimed to investigate the roles of mental health and food insecurity on quality of life of PLHIV in Ethiopia, and to determine whether supplementation with lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) during initiation of antiretroviral medications has effects on quality of life. In this PhD thesis, food insecurity and poor mental health had independent association with lower quality of life among PLHIV. Furthermore, supplementation with LNS during the first three months of initiation of antiretroviral medications improved the quality of life of PLHIV. Our study participants had only mild or no undernutrition at the entry point into the trial means. Hence, the beneficial effect of LNS given to PLHIV on quality of life extends beyond those who have malnutrition. 2017, 86 pages,ISBN 978 87 93476 82 0 Time 7 March 2017, 13:00 Venue Festauditoriet 1-01, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg Opponents Associate Professor Lotte Lauritzen (chair), Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Det er bevist at fysisk aktivitet fremmer dannelsen af nye kapillærer og forbedrer insulinfølsomheden, men insulin resistente mennesker oplever et formindsket træningsstimuleret respons. Denne afhandling undersøger effekten af en øget kapillærdensitet i muskler for insulinfølsomhed. Raske og insulinresistente mennesker fik medicin som er kendt for at øge kapillæriseringen. Desuden, fik fede Zucker rotter (insulinresistente dyr) en VEGF forhøjende behandling i en muskel i benet i kombination med 6 ugers svømmetræning. Et kausalt forhold mellem muskelkapillærisering og insulinfølsomhed er påvist i denne afhandling. 2017, 198 sider, ISBN 978 87 93476 79 0 Tid 3. februar 2017 kl. 14.00 Sted Aud 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Anders Sjödin (chair), Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major factor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This presentation will focus on the cellular mechanisms of liver and muscle insulin resistance in humans and the role of dysregulated intracellular lipid metabolism in its pathogenesis. Specifically this talk will review recent studies that have implicated increases in ectopic lipid content in causing insulin resistance in these organs as well as recent studies that have implicated diacylglycerol, as the molecular trigger for lipid-induced insulin resistance through its activation of PKC-epsilon in liver and PKC-theta in skeletal muscle leading to inhibition of insulin signaling and the identification of Thr1160 phosphorylation on the insulin receptor as a mediator of lipid-induced hepatic insulin resistance. This talk will also review recent studies that identify the link between white adipose tissue inflammation and increased rates of hepatic gluconeogenesis and fasting hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes due to increased rates of lipolysis leading to increased hepatic acetyl CoA content and allosteric activation of pyruvate carboxylase. Finally I will discuss our recent studies demonstrating the potential utility of promoting mild liver-targeted hepatic mitochondrial inefficiency as a novel therapeutic approach to treat NASH and T2D.

Introduktion til foredraget Den moderne leder oplever sig konstant udfordret af modsatrettede vilkår og krav, hvorfor det er essentielt som coach at kunne hjælpe lederens udvikling af versatilitet. Dette foredrag handler om, hvordan vi kan coache ledere til en mere versatil ledelsesadfærd. Versatilitet beskriver evnen til at anvende modsatrettede ledelseskompetencer frem for at se dem som modsætninger. Kunsten er at justere sin adfærd og mindset ud fra feedback fra omverdenen, samtidig med at man selv står stærkt i en eksistentiel forankring uagtet de ubønhørlige udspændtheder og krydspres. Hvordan kan man som coach hjælpe ledere til at have blik for både det langsigtede strategiske perspektiv og samtidig have fokus på implementering og orden i forretningen?

Deltagende observationer og semi-strukturerede interviews med 42 kvindelige rengøringsassistenter og deres serviceledere gav et dybdegående indblik i disse kvinders erfaringer med og store udfordringer ved at deltage i motion på arbejdspladsen, samt i deres arbejde, familie og fritid, deres tidligere erfaringer med idræt og fysisk aktivitet og deres sundhedsrelaterede adfærd og viden. Følgende overordnende konklusion drages: Interviewpersonernes hverdag som kvindelige rengøringsassistenter med anden etnisk baggrund end dansk havde en afgørende betydning for deres muligheder for at deltage i idræt og fysisk aktivitet. På grund af deres fysisk krævende job samt husarbejde og børnepasning i hjemmet havde langt de fleste kvinder hverken energi eller tid til at dyrke idræt. Endvidere syntes (manglende) tidligere erfaringer med idræt og fysisk aktivitet at have en stor indflydelse på deres nuværende idrætsdeltagelse.

Ydermere har holdspil en positiv effekt på knoglemineralindhold og knogletæthed i forhold til individuelle sportsgrene. I denne ph.d. afhandling sammenlignes effekterne hos børn, som havde den normale skolemotion med børn, der i 1-2 timer om ugen havde intens motion på skoleskemaet i form af boldspil på små baner, intervalløb eller ’cirkeltræning’ bestående med gymnastik- og styrkeøvelser med egen kropsvægt.

Kostændringer er en måde at ændrer 1-karbon metabolismen, påvirke epigenetisk regulering og på den måde forebygge metabolisk syndrom. I denne ph.d. afhandling er kostens betydning for regulering af 1-karbon metabolisme og det potentielle sammenhæng mellem 1-karbon metabolisme, epigenetik, og metabolisk syndrom. Både indtag af fisk og fuldkorn er blevet undersøgt særlig grundigt da de potentielt kan påvirke 1-karbon metabolismen. I denne afhandling er det blevet yderligere dokumenteret at der er en sammenhæng mellem 1-karbon metabolismen og metabolisk syndrom. Der blev også fundet en sammenhæng mellem indtag af fisk og fuldkorn og en mere gunstig 1-karbon metabolisme. Dog blev der ikke fundet at en 8-ugers kostintervention rig på fuldkorn påvirkede centrale markører for 1-karbon metabolismen, sammenlignet med en kost rig på raffinerede kornprodukter. Vi undersøgte også hvordan et kosttilskud med fiskeolie påvirkede den epigenetiske kode i småbørn og fandt forskelle selvom disse var små. Samlet set indikere disse resultater interessante sammenhæng mellem 1-karbon metabolismen, epigenetikken og metabolisk syndrom, men der er brug for flere undersøgelser er nødvendige for at finde kostinterventioner der påvirker 1-karbon metabolismen og den epigenetiske kode. 2016, 225 sider.

I perioden efter arbejdet blev der dog observeret nedsat GS-aktivitet og øget fosforylering på site 2+2a.

SAM may be associated with reduced relative contribution of whole-blood polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) yet PUFA play very important roles in the body such as immune modulation, growth and development as well as maintenance of skin water barrier among others. The reduced relative contribution of PUFA may be linked to some of the clinical presentations in children with SAM. Treatment of SAM may be improved by better understanding of most of the nutritional deficiencies with the aim of achieving optimal nutritional status. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whole blood PUFA composition and its correlates in children admitted with SAM and describe changes in the PUFA composition in these children during treatment and to determine predictors of change. Furthermore, to assess the level and predictors of physical activity at discharge among these children. Children with SAM present to hospital with lower proportions of LCPUFA than the controls. HIV infection and low haemoglobin are associated with lower proportions of LCPUFA, which may be related to lower numbers of blood cells. Despite advances in the management of SAM, current therapeutic feeds do not correct whole-blood LCPUFA composition, particularly n-3 LCPUFA, in children with SAM. The level of physical activity at discharge among children with SAM is very low perhaps indicating inadequate recovery from SAM. 2016, 110 pages, ISBN 978 87 7611.

AMPK er foreslået at regulere adskillige processer i kroppens stofskifte. Der er dog endnu mange funktioner af AMPK, som man ikke kender. Derudover beror meget af den nuværende viden om AMPK på undersøgelser i cellesystemer eller har fokuseret på specifikke situationer eller bestemte væv. Data fra denne ph.d.-afhandling viser, at aktiveringen af AMPK i skeletmusklen under muskelarbejde hæmmer kulhydratforbrændingen og skaber dermed mulighed for forøget fedtforbrænding og genopfyldning af sukkerlagrene i skeletmusklen i perioden efter muskelarbejde. Derudover har vi opdaget, at AMPK aktiveres i fedtvævet hos mennesker under vægttab. Endeligt har vi fundet ud af, at AMPK regulerer signalproteiner til regulering af den cellulære renovationsproces, autofagi, i skeletmusklen, men at AMPK ikke synes at være tilstrækkelig til at aktivere processen i skeletmusklen som tidligere antaget. 2016, 138 sider.

Selvom vi i mange år har været klar over de gavnlige effekter af fysisk aktivitet på den generelle sundhed, forstår vi stadig ikke de molekylære signalveje, der er involveret. Således kan en øget forståelse af, hvordan fysisk aktivitet øger insulinfølsomheden i skeletmuskulaturen tjene som en værdifuld kilde til fremtidig lægemiddelforskning i behandlingen af insulinresistens. Fund fra Kjøbsted afslører den potentielle mekanisme, der regulerer forbedringer af insulinfølsomheden efter akut arbejde i skeletmuskulaturen. Afhandlingen understøtter, at proteinet AMPK, der aktiveres under arbejde, regulerer insulins evne til at stimulere glukoseoptagelsen i skeletmuskulaturen ved at øge mængden af glukosetransportører i cellens overflademembran gennem proteinet TBC1D4.

Abstract Calcium signaling is essential to many cellular processes including those associated with cancer progression such as proliferation and invasiveness. The transfer of calcium from the maternal blood supply into milk for offspring nutrition is a fundamental process that is required for the survival of mammals in the early stages of life. Recently, specific calcium channels and pumps likely to be involved in the transport of calcium ions during lactation have been identified. Elevated levels of these same calcium channels and pumps are a feature of some breast cancers and can often be related to specific breast cancer molecular subtypes. Calcium permeable ion channels not involved in lactation may also be important in specific aspects of breast cancer progression via increased copy number and promotion of cellular proliferation or through involvement in specific events important in breast cancer metastasis such as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

Abstract Glucagon is an old hormone (1923) which has a firm place in the physiology textbooks where it collects dust. The truth is that we don’t know a lot about it and recent research suggests that it is extremely interesting. In a way it is simple, because in humans there are receptors only in the liver and in the islets (and the brain perhaps?) – so how difficult can it be? It powerfully controls hepatic glucose production and is involved in the maintenance of fasting glucose levels, but deletion of the glucagon receptor does not cause hypoglycaemia. And glucagon-producing tumors do not produce diabetes. So what happens? The deletion causes abdominal tumor formation and the glucagon-producing tumors produce a nasty skin disease with bullae resembling burns. Therefore, it is about time that we remove the dust and get back to the lab to find out what is going on. Research profile Professor Jens Juul Holst scientific work has been focused on the regulatory peptides of the pancreas and the gut and their importance in the regulation of the functions of the GI-tract and metabolism, with particular focus on blood glucose and appetite regulation, obesity and diabetes. A particular emphasis has been on the role of the incretin hormones of the gut (GLP-1 and GIP). Professor Holst great scientific achievements include the discovery of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) as the gut hormone being responsible for the glucose-induced gastrointestinal stimulation of insulin secretion and his subsequent both basic and translational research in this field. His research includes a number of key discoveries which have been the direct basis for the development of two main new classes of medical drugs currently used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes: GLP-1 mimetics (now also to be used for obesity treatment) and DPP-4 inhibitors. Research by Professor Holst has also been fundamental for the development of GLP-2 agonists for treatment of intestinal insufficiency (short bowel syndrome). Thus, the scientific achievements of Professor Jens Juul Holst have contributed significantly to the development of new apparently unsurpassed treatments of a currently incurable disease. Professor Holst is among the most cited European scientists in his field. He has published approx. 1200 scientific publications which have been cited more than 55,000 times without self-citation. Currently his papers are cited approx. 3500 times a year and he has an H-index of 119.

Det lader dog ikke til at et højt indtag af ost er forbundet med øgt risiko for hjertekarsygdom trods et højt indhold af mættet fedt. Dette er muligvis på grund af nedsat optagelse af fedt fra ost. Formålet med denne ph.d. afhandling var at undersøge, hvorledes fedtindholdet i oste-matrix og modningstiden af ost påvirker en række kardiometaboliske risikomarkører samt den fækale udskillelse af fedt. Afhandlingen er baseret på tre interventionsstudier, to i grise og et i mennesker. Resultaterne tydede på at fedtindholdet i oste-matrix have betydning for HDL-kolesterol responset mens modningstiden af osten kan have betydning for blodets indhold af frie fedtsyrer samt insulin. Resultaterne viste desuden at en kost med mættet fedt i ost eller kød forårsager højere HDL-kolesterol, men ikke LDL-kolesterol, sammenlignet med kost med lavere fedt og højere kulhydratindhold. Den fækale udskillelse af fedt lader ikke til at være afhængig af modningstid eller fedtindhold i oste-matrix, men at være højere efter indtag af en diæt med ost sammenlignet med diæter med kød eller kulhydrat. 2015, 137 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 947 8 Tid 20. november 2015 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditoriet A2 70 04, Thorvaldsensvej 40, 1870 Frederiksberg.

These monocytes develop an anti-inflammatory phenotype. In contrast, during obesity, muscle tissue also gain macrophages but in this case they develop a pro-inflammatory phenotype. Using a reductionist system of cells in culture, we found that electrically-stimulated skeletal myotubes chemoattract monocytes, through the release of CCL2. Conversely, myotubes treated with saturated fatty acids release nucleotides that act as the chemoatracting signal, and such myotubes confer a pro-inflammatory phenotype to macrophages. In vivo, monocytes must cross the microavscular endothelial barrier to reach the muscle fibers, and saturated fats cause increased adhesion and transmigration of monocytes across a microvascular endothelial cell monolayer. The microvasculature is also the barrier regulating insulin transfer from blood to muscle, and fatty acid treatment of microvascular endothelial cells reduces insulin transcytosis.

Activation of SFKs requires exclusion of tyrosine phosphatases from the area of particle engagement. We investigated how the major phosphatase, CD45, is excluded from sites of contact with the target using single-molecule tracking. A frustrated phagocytosis model was implemented to stabilize the focal plane. While individual CD45 molecules moved randomly in the plane of the membrane, they were displaced from the advancing phagocytic cup by an expanding diffusional barrier. Micropatterning of IgG, the ligand of phagocytic receptors, was used to better define the relationship between engaged receptors and the progressive diffusional barrier. Remarkably, the barrier extended well beyond the perimeter of the receptor-ligand engagement zone. Second messengers generated by phagocytic receptor activation were found to activate integrins, which were shown to form the diffusion barrier that excluded CD45 by a kinetic segregation process akin to that described in the immunological synapse. The expanding integrin wave facilitates the “zippering” of receptors onto the target and integrates the information from sparse receptor-ligand complexes, coordinating the progression and ultimate closure of the phagosome.

En af de vigtigste ting, der sker i et coachingforløb, er skabelse af mening. Meningsskabelse – eller sensemaking – har været omdrejningspunkt for den amerikanske organisationspsykolog Karl Weick igennem mange årtier. Sensemaking perspektivet ligger fint i tråd med det teoretiske fundament for den systemiske tilgang til coaching, men tilbyder også nye vinkler ved f.eks. særligt at understrege handlingers rolle for meningsskabelse. Foredraget tilbyder en teoretisk introduktion til sensemaking perspektivet. Foredragsholder vil også give en række bud på, hvilke konkrete coaching strategier perspektivet kunne pege på. Da foredraget hovedsageligt tager et teoretisk afsæt, bliver deltagerne indbudt til at trække på deres egne praktiske erfaringer som coaches i en fælles diskussion af sensemaking og coaching.

Forbruget af den primære energikilde, ATP, kan stige op til ~100 gange i forhold til hvile og dette lægger et stort pres på genopbygningen af ATP. Her er en akut regulering af skeletmusklens sukker- og fedtsyre-omsætning vigtig for at opretholde en tilstrækkelig energistatus. For bedre at være i stand til at håndtere fremtidige tilstande med energetisk stress, øger musklen dens energiomsætningskapacitet gennem flere mekanismer. Nogle af de vigtigste er en øget kapillarisering samt en stigning i stofskifterelaterede og mitokondrielle proteiner som transporterer og omsætter glukose og frie fede syrer. AMPK er et protein der aktiveres ved et fald i energistatus og formodes at være involveret i regulering af energiomsætningen af næringsstoffer ved fysisk aktivitet, samt i træningsinducerede adaptationer af musklens metaboliske og mitokondrielle proteinindhold. Dette er primært underbygget af studier hvor farmakologisk aktivering af AMPK har været anvendt, hvorimod studier der har brugt mus der bærer et muteret og dysfunktionelt AMPKα gen (α er den ”signalerende” underenhed i AMPK trimer-komplekset) kun har fremvist begrænset eller intet bevis for en central rolle af AMPK. Dog har tidligere AMPKα musemodeller kun haft en mutation i én af de to α-isoformer (enten α1 eller α2), hvorfor AMPK funktionen ikke har været helt slået ud. Ved at anvende en musemodel med skeletmuskel-specifik mutation af både AMPKα1 og AMPKα2 har vi undersøgt hvordan manglen på AMPKα i skeletmuskler påvirker energiomsætningen under fysisk aktivitet samt evnen til at adaptere til fysisk træning. 2015, 174 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 930 0 Tid 23. september 2015, 14.00 Sted Aud 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø.

Introduktion til foredraget I både sport, erhverv og uddannelse hersker præstationskulturen. Vi bliver målt og vejet og skal være hurtigere og bedre end vores konkurrenter. Præstationspsykologien har i mange år pustet til ilden ved at lægge fokus på målsætninger, planlægning og visualisering. Individet skulle lære at præstere og have de mentale værktøjer til dette, så det kunne være konkurrencedygtigt. Men med fokus på resultater og konkurrence medfølger en bagside af medaljen. Risiko for nederlag og skader samt fravalg af andre livsaspekter medfører nogle udfordringer som atleter, medarbejdere og elever ikke altid kan løse ved hjælp af mentaltræning og løsningsbaseret coaching. For der er nogle eksistentielle grundvilkår, som vi mennesker er underlagt, og i præstationskontekster træder disse frem på mange forskellige måder.Dette foredrag vil derfor præsentere, hvordan man kan tage udgangspunkt i den eksistentielle tilgang med fokus på angst, værdier og accept i coaching af individer, som bevæger sig i præstationskontekster.

She has presented numerous invited seminars at national and international events discussing this aspect of her research, and has had many visitors to her laboratory learning the techniques. Her biochemical methodologies can be uniquely coupled with physiological measurements in the same fibres, thereby providing mechanistic insights into muscle function. Robyn has particular interests in calcium dependent processes occurring in muscle as well as aspects of glucose regulation in health and disease, with a focus on glycogen and its associated proteins.

I Danmark er mejeriprodukter en stor kilde til protein. Mælkeprotein er opbygget af kasein (80%) og valleprotein (20%), der begge er proteiner af høj kvalitet. Kasein absorberes dog langsommere end valleprotein, hvorfor det er foreslået at disse proteiner kan påvirke energibalancen i forskellig grad. I min ph.d. afhandling undersøgte jeg effekten af total mælkeprotein, valleprotein og kasein på energibalancen samt de mulige mekanismer der kan forklare de potentielt forskellige effekter af specifikke proteiner. Sammenfattende viste resultaterne at indtag af mælkeprotein ikke er mere gavnlig i forhold til regulering af energibalancen end indtag af protein fra andre kilder. Desuden, at det ikke har betydning om man indtager valleprotein eller kasein i forhold til forebyggelse og behandling af overvægt og fedme. 2015, 128 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 896 7 Tid 3. juni 2015 kl. 13.00 Sted Aud.

Erik Jarlnæs er stifter af Bodynamic Institute, har gennem 30 år trænet fagfolk i kropspsykoterapi både i Danmark og i en række andre lande. Tidligere dansk mester i 400 m hækkeløb i 1970-72. Vi har alle haft Peak Experiences – oplevelser, der løfter vores livskvalitet i bestemte øjeblikke. Det er oplagt at finde en sådan oplevelse frem fra hukommelsen og bruge den til at forbedre fx konkrete arbejds- eller fritidssituationer. På Syddansk Universitet bruger de ""The Peak Interview - as used in coaching"". Idéen er, at man gennem interview kortlægger, hvilke elementer der gik forud for peaket, for således at kunne bruge disse elementer til fx at forbedre konkurrenceresultater. Et peak finder altid sted i en kontekst, og det handler om at få beskrevet denne, samtidig med at kropslige sansninger også inddrages. En konkurrencesejler opdagede i et peak oplevelses-interview, at han sansede hele kroppen - han gik i ét med vandet og i ét med vinden. I coaching-delen fandt vi ud af, hvordan han kunne tage dette med sig ind i startøjeblikket og i selve sejladsen for dermed at optimere indsatsen. Samtalen blev løbende suppleret via telefonkontakt efter hver sejlads, og inden den efterfølgende sejlads 20-30 min. senere. Han endte med at blive dansk mester. I foredraget vil Erik definere peak oplevelsen og beskrive selve interviewet og dets anvendelse i praksis.

Abstract Among the great challenges of 21st century medicine is finding effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a neurodegenerative dementia whose prevalence is growing so rapidly that it threatens to overwhelm healthcare systems in a few decades. While clinical trials on conventional AD drug targets (Aβ and its synthetic enzymes) have failed, a very promising new target for treatment has emerged, namely brain insulin resistance. This abnormality alone can cause or promote many of the key pathological and cognitive features of AD. Using a novel ex vivo stimulation method, our group has shown that insulin resistance is a common and profound feature in brains of AD cases even in the absence of diabetes. We have now discovered that insulin resistance is also advanced in brains of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) cases, which often progress to AD dementia, and that this abnormality can be substantially reduced in brains of both MCI and AD dementia cases with one or more of the antidiabetics known as incretin receptor agonists, including liraglutide and a dual incretin receptor agonist. Such drugs are already known to markedly reduce a broad spectrum of pathologies and cognitive deficits in animal models of AD. The speaker will discuss these discoveries and their potential to produce the first effective treatment of AD.

Undersøgelser viser, at regelmæssig motion kan reducere det hepatiske lipidindhold og forbedre leverens sundhed. Ved fedtrig kostinduceret overvægt hos mus observerede vi øget indhold af lipider i skeletmuskel og lever, analyseret ved massespektrometri samtidig med nedsat glukosetolerance. Vi fandt, at løbebåndstræning af musene resulterede i en reduktion i fedtindholdet i leveren, men ikke i musklerne, samt en forbedret glukosetolerance. Disse fund viser, at øget fysisk aktivitet og træning kan være en plausibel terapeutisk intervention for at forhindre eller i det mindste forsinke udviklingen af fedtlever, der er forbundet med øget kalorieindtagelse og fysisk inaktivitet. Del II I skeletmuskler findes der flere regulatoriske steder for optagelse af fedt, blandt andet transporten af fedtsyrer over plasmamembranen, der involverer fedtsyretransportproteinet FAT/CD36. Tidligere observationer antydet, at en permanent flytning af FAT/CD36 proteinet til sarcolemma inducerer intramyocellulær lipidakkumulering, hvilket kan resultere i insulinresistens. Derfor har FAT/CD36 været associeret med insulinresistens. Om øget FAT/CD36 protein i sarcolemma er en tidlig begivenhed i udviklingen af nedsat insulinfølsomhed og insulinresistens, eller om det er en følge af kronisk øget indtagelse af kalorier, øget plasmafedtsyrerkoncentrationer eller kronisk ændret stofskifte er uvist. Vores fund viser, at en kost med højt fedtindhold inducerer et fald i insulinfølsomheden hos raske mennesker, men dette er uafhængigt af en flytning eller opregulering af FAT/CD36 proteinet i sarcolemma og at ophobningen af det intramyocellulære lipidindhold efter en fedtrig kost er uafhængig af forflytningen af FAT/CD36 til sarcolemma. 2015, 115 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 870 9 Tid 16. april 2015 kl. 14.00 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø.

I dette foredrag om coaching reflekteres over coachens teoretiske forankringer til brug for udvikling af coachingmetoderne. Nogen foretrækker et socialkonstruktionistisk paradigme med systemisk teori og metode i coaching, andre en psykodynamisk teoretisk ramme for coaching - med et væld af coachingstrategier og –metoder. I foredraget undersøges det, hvordan Kierkegaards teori om selvet som det særligt menneskelige kan blive grundlag for et konkret coachingforløb af en leder, der opsøger coaching, fordi hun har tabt sig selv i sit personlige lederskab. Kierkegaards forfatterskab er læst, forstået og fortolket i et psykologisk perspektiv. Perspektivet er: Kierkegaards teori om selvet er ikke blot en mulighed, men også en nødvendighed i det moderne samfund.

Abstract Age-related diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Western society. Recently, inhibition of the mTOR (mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin) signaling pathway by the FDA-approved drug rapamycin has been shown to promote lifespan and delay age-related diseases in model organisms including mice. Unfortunately, rapamycin has serious side effects in humans, including immunosuppression and glucose intolerance, which likely preclude the long-term prophylactic use of rapamycin as a therapy for age-related diseases. Our work suggests that while the beneficial effects of rapamycin are largely mediated by inhibition of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), many of the negative side effects are mediated by “off-target” inhibition of a second mTOR-containing complex, mTORC2. We will discuss our recent work on strategies to more specifically inhibit mTORC1. Relevant papers Lamming DW, Ye L, Sabatini DM, Baur JA. Rapalogs and mTOR inhibitors as anti-aging therapeutics.

Resultaterne viser at skolemad baseret på tilsyneladende sunde kostprincipper (en Ny Nordisk Hverdagskost) men serveret ad libitum, kan have uønskede effekter på børns kropsammensætning til trods for en række positive effekter på risikomarkører for det metaboliske syndrom. Dette store studie gav en unik mulighed for at analysere hvordan forskellige hormoner er associeret med ændringer i kropssammensætning og knoglevækst. Hormonet leptin som produceres i fedtvæv var tilstede i en større koncentration hos børn med en høj fedtmasse, men så ud til at forebygge yderligere øgning i vægt (øgning i fedtmasse index såvel som fedtfri masse index). Samtidig så leptin dog ud til at have negative konsekvenser for knoglesundheden gennem en hæmning af tilvæksten i knoglestørrelse (knogleareal korrigeret for højde). Hormonerne insulin-like growth factor 1 og osteocalcin havde positive effekter på tilvæksten i højde og knoglestørrelse, medens sulthormonet ghrelin kunne se ud til at hæmme tilvæksten i knoglestørrelse. Der blev ikke fundet nogen sammenhænge mellem hormonerne adiponektin, insulin og parathyroideahormon og så ændringer i kropssammensætning og knoglevækst. Der var betydelig årstidsvariation i vækst og kropssammensætning, hvilket kan have praktisk betydning i forbindelse med analyse af vækstdata over kortere tidsperioder og for planlægning af strategier til forebyggelse og behandling af overvægt. 2015, 166 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 860 0 Tid 19. marts 2015 kl. 13.00 Sted Festauditoriet 1-01, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Henrik Friis (chair), Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Især underernærede børn som kræver behandling under indlæggelse på hospital er i høj risiko for at dø. Denne afhandling undersøger mulige årsager til dette ved at følge en gruppe på 120 børn under deres behandling for underernæring på børneafdelingen Mwanamugimu i Kampala, Uganda. Vi så på hvordan underernæring påvirker børns immunsystem, ved at måle størrelsen på børnenes thymus med ultralyd. Vi undersøgte hvad der karakteriserer børn med den alvorlige form for underernæring, Kwashiorkor, hvor børnene får ødemer. Endeligt udforskede vi, hvilke af børnenes symptomer, fund eller behandling, der var forbundet med høj risiko for at dø. 2015, 203 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 852 5 Tid 13. marts 2015 kl. 13.00 Sted Festauditoriet 1-01, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg.

Introduktion til foredraget Fastholdelse af studerende har den sidste snes år været i fokus i studie- og karrierevejledning i UCSJ. Vi har udarbejdet frafaldsundersøgelser, som efterfølgende har givet anledning til ændrede handlemønstre. Studier viser, at de studerende pointerer studiemiljø som en væsentlig faktor for at fortsætte på studiet – følelsen af at høre til og at føle sig studiekompetent samt at have mulighed for at få vejledning, når behovet opstår. De studerende skal se mening med at være på studiet. Liselotte ønsker at skabe forskningsbaseret viden om virksomme fastholdelsesstrategier gennem intervention, dvs. studiefremmende tiltag på læreruddannelsen, da der netop her er et relativt højt frafald. Her spiller coaching en rolle. Liselotte fortæller om sit arbejde og sin planlagte forskning, og deltagernes input og refleksioner er mere end velkommen.

Monitorering af et barns vækst kan afsløre forskellige aspekter af over- eller underernæring. Mere direkte mål for et barns kropssammensætning, som for eksempel fedt og muskel masse, kan også betragtes, men højkvalitets målinger af kropssammensætningen er ofte ikke muligt. Vi har valideret simple antropometriske målingers evne til at vurdere kropssammensætningen hos 3 årige børn. Endvidere har vi modeleret BMI vækst kurver og fundet at karakteristika ved det tidlige toppunkt på BMI kurven er associeret med kropssammensætningen ved 3 år. I denne afhandling har vi udforsket og avanceret forskellige tilgange til at forbedre forskellige aspekter af statistisk modellering og inferens af data på kropssammensætning.

Skoler og boligområder med en høj andel af etniske minoriteter mærker jævnligt til udfordringerne med målgruppen, der har svært ved at indgå og præstere under de rammer og regler som lærerne, skolen og det omgivende samfund sætter op. Spørgsmålet, der stilles på både mikro- og makroniveau, er således, hvordan disse udfordringer kan imødekommes? Projektet ”Unge, holdspil og medborgerskab”, som dette foredrag tager udgangspunkt i, bygger på en hypotese om, at anvendelse af gruppecoaching som et betydningsfuldt tredje kan stimulere til en positiv udvikling i indsatsen for at fremme de unge etniske drenges livsduelighed. En udvikling der kan være medvirkende til, at drengene i større grad formår at agere mere aktivt og ansvarligt i deres eget liv og i samfundet. I foredraget vil det mere konkret blive belyst, hvad drengene oplever, når de bliver coachet, samt hvilken indflydelse gruppecoachingen har på deres udvikling af livsduelighed. Tilmed vil der med udgangspunkt i drengenes og coachenes best- and worst practice-erfaringer blive præsenteret en række praksisnære vejledende retningslinjer, der kan hjælpe coaches, der involverer sig i denne målgruppe.

Abstract It is well known that adipose tissue inflammation plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance and diabetes. Exercise training has been extensively studied as a modality with which to treat and prevent inflammation. For instance, exercise training at the onset of a high fat diet prevents the development of inflammation and insulin resistance in rodents whereas training that is initiated after the onset of obesity leads to reductions in inflammation and improvements in glucose homeostasis. While these studies show a clear, beneficial effect of exercise on adipose tissue inflammation it is difficult to discern if the effects of exercise are direct or, are secondary to changes in adipose tissue mass. The purpose of this seminar will be to discuss recent work from my laboratory (both published and unpublished) and others, highlighting the protective effects of exercise against inflammatory and metabolic challenges.

Goodyear, PhD Harvard Medical School, Senior Investigator and Section Head, Section on Integrative Physiology and Metabolism Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston USA Abstract It is well established that the performance of regular physical exercise results in numerous health benefits, a reduced risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Physical exercise is also widely accepted as a clinically important modality to decrease blood glucose concentrations in patients with diabetes, due largely to an increase in the rate of glucose transport into the contracting skeletal muscles and an increase in insulin sensitivity in the period following exercise. In this presentation, I will discuss our recent data investigating the effects of exercise training on white adipose tissue. In addition, I will present data on studies aimed at investigating the effects of maternal exercise on offspring health.

Andersen, tidl. professor i Sports Psychology på Victoria University, Melbourne, Australien, pt. gæsteprofessor på Halmstad Högskolan (Universitet) i Sverige Mindfulness is all the rage in clinical psychology, medicine, and education. Mindfulness has also shown up in the executive- and life-coaching fields. In the sport psychology area, mindfulness appears mostly as an intervention for performance enhancement, but recently there have been suggestions that sport psychologists train in mindful practices to help them better connect and form therapeutic relationships with the athletes in their care. In this presentation, I will talk about the potential benefits of coaches having mindful practices and how such practices can help them form positive working alliances with their athletes. To examine the fine, and not so fine, qualities of coach-athlete relationships, and what happens when a coach’s brain and an athlete’s brain interact over a relatively long period of time, I will traverse the fields of Freudian psychology (e.g., transference, countertransference), attachment theory (e.g., secure and insecure attachments), neuroscience (e.g., interpersonal neurobiology), and Buddhist psychology (e.g., right mindfulness, compassion for self and others).

Abstract Recent technical developments have considerably simplified the sequencing of complete genomes, and we are rapidly approaching the time when even small teams will be able to use the genomes of their organism of choice in their research. In theory, such analyses are not limited to DNA recovered from living organisms, but could even be applied to extinct species. In parallel with these advances in genomics, there is a growing interest among both amateur and professional scientists in ‘de-extinction’ - the resurrection of extinct species - a discipline in which sequencing of extinct genomes plays a fundamental role. In this talk I use examples of recent studies on modern and ancient genomes, to highlight what can be inferred from such data in the evolutionary context. Subsequently I discuss what role the challenges of genome sequencing has on defining the limits of de-extinction.

Research profile My research is placed at the interface of emerging sequencing techniques with applied questions within evolutionary and conservation biology, anthropology and archaeology. In this regard, I have been active in developing DNA and protein based tools with which to generate and exploit genomic-level information from both modern and ancient specimens, and utilising them to look at questions as varied as the origin and evolution of birds, the taxonomy and methods of speciation in organisms such as giant squid and killer whales, the genetic background of the first Native Americans and Greenlanders, how potato blight has evolved since it first emerged as a major human crop pathogen, whether early farmers actually knew what they were doing, and what makes pigeons such great animals.

Traditionelt set er kosten blevet undersøgt i forhold til ét næringsstof af gangen, men folk spiser ikke ét næringsstof af gangen, de spiser ikke engang én fødevare af gangen. Folk spiser i stedet måltider og disse måltider varierer over en dag og gennem et livsforløb. For at favne noget af denne kompleksitet kan det være en fordel at undersøge kostmønstre, der bredt dækker hele kosten, da disse kostmønstre måske er stærkere markører for vækst og sundhed sammenlignet med enkelte næringsstoffer. På nuværende tidspunkt har vi dog begrænset viden om udviklingen i kostmønstre igennem barndommen, viden om hvilke indikatorer der ligger bag kostmønstrene, og hvilke sundhedsmål der er associeret med kostmønstrene. Formålet med denne ph.d. var derfor at udføre eksplorative analyser af kostmønstre i barndommen vha. metoden principal component analysis (PCA) for at undersøge associationer med mulige indikatorer og sundhedsmål relateret til vækst og fedme. Disse analyser er baseret på data fra to observationelle kohorter (SKOT I og SKOT II) og et interventionsstudie (MoMS). Undersøgelsen viste at PCA er en anvendelig metode til at favne noget af kompleksiteten i kosten hos børn både i observationelle studier og interventions studier såvel som til at undersøge udviklingen i kostmønstre over tid. Eksplorative analyser af indikatorer for kostmønstrene viste at både karakteristika relateret til forældrene, husholdningen og barnet selv er associeret med kostmønstrene tidligt i barndommen. Disse associationer kan formentlig biddrage til at identificere familier, der kan drage nytte af rådgivning om sunde kostvaner for deres småbørn. Relevansen af tidlig og vedvarende sundhedsfremme underbygges af den viste tracking i kostmønstre for nogle børn og ændring i kostmønstre for andre gennem den tidlige barndom samt associationen mellem kostmønstre og markører for sundhedsmål allerede i småbørnsalderen. I forhold til det specifikke indhold af sundhedsfremmende tiltag indenfor kostområdet støtter den aktuelle undersøgelse af kosten hos overvægtige unge den officielle anbefaling om at promovere vandindtag som den vigtigste kilde til væske i stedet for sukker-sødet drikke. 2014, 158 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 794 8 Tid 31. oktober 2014 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium A1-01.01, Festauditoriet, Bülowsvej 17, Frederiksberg.

Among children with SAM, deaths occur largely in those with oedema and during early phase of treatment often aggravated by infection. Treatment outcome could be improved by enhancing monitoring of body hydration (the proportion of water in tissues) during treatment. We studied 351children between 0.5 and 14 years admitted to Jimma University Specialized Hospital with SAM. We recorded weight, height and grade of oedema. Further we measured bioimpedance which is the resistance of the body to an imperceptible current of electricity and in healthy individuals this method is used to estimate total body water. Finally we estimated amount of total body water (TBW) using deuterium dilution method on a subset of 35 children. There were two important findings in this study. First, by comparing the bioimpedance estimated TBW with that estimated by deuterium, we found that bioimpedance is unreliable for measurement of TBW in children with SAM. Second, using the changes in raw bioimpedance values over time it was possible to differentiate tissue-related weight changes from hydration-related weight changes. This new method can improve monitoring of nutritional oedema and dehydration during treatment of SAM. 2014, 117 pages, ISBN 978 87 7611 782 5 Time 9 October 2014, 13:00 Venue Auditorium A1-01.01, Festauditoriet, Bülowsvej 17, Frederiksberg.

Dr. Ayse Basak Cinar, MSc in Behavioral Science, PhD from the University of Helsinki, internationally accredited coach (ICC), assistant professor at the Department of Odontology, KU. Health Coaching (HC), a new patient-centered approach for transformation and maintenance of positive health behaviors, is directly associated with positive lifestyles (smoking cessation, obesity- and diabetes management). However, there is not any research on the impact of HC as a common health promotion approach at diabetes- and oral health management. What makes such a common approach so important? There is a bilateral interrelation between periodontitis and poor diabetes control. Diabetics are more likely to have periodontitis than those without. The aim of the presentation is to: 1. Explain what HC is and how it can be used as a common health promotion approach. 2. Discuss the results of Phase I (Turkey) of an international research study at the University of Copenhagen, which aims to assess the impact of HC on diabetes- and oral health management. 3. Share our expectations about Phase II (Denmark): That there will be similar results as in Turkey; significantly higher improvement of biological markers (HbA1c, periodontitis) and lifestyle (stress, physical activity) in the coaching group compared to the education group (http://videnskab.dk/kort-nyt/forskere-motiverer-diabetespatienter-til-sundere-taender).

Abstract Despite existing therapies for heart failure (HF), the current one-year mortality rate after diagnosis of symptomatic HF remains at 25-40%. As such, new strategies to treat this debilitating syndrome and improve the quality and length of life of patients with HF must be developed. Many existing HF pharmacotherapies typically modify specific molecular targets or pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic nervous system. However, it is becoming increasingly evident that non-cardiac factors also contribute to the symptoms associated with HF. Indeed, peripheral organs such as skeletal muscle and the vasculature are also impaired in HF and it is likely that worsening cardiac, skeletal muscle and vascular function all contribute to HF symptoms such as dyspnea and exercise intolerance. Interestingly, the naturally occurring polyphenol resveratrol, improves skeletal muscle performance, causes beneficial cardiac structural and metabolic remodeling and improves vascular function. Using a pre-clinical animal model of HF, the effects of resveratrol as a treatment of HF have been tested and whether or not resveratrol may one day be used in the treatment of patients with HF will be discussed.

Energiomsætningen i muskler reguleres bl.a. af proteiner der kommunikerer til andre proteiner (proteinsignalering). Muskler består af forskellige muskelfibre med forskellige egenskaber. Det forventes at energiomsætningen og derved sandsynligvis proteinsignaleringen er afhængig af den pågældende muskelfiber. I denne ph.d. afhandling blev det undersøgt, i mennesker, om forskellige muskelfibre reagerer ens på hormonet insulin og fysisk aktivitet – begge stimuli der ændrer på musklernes energiomsætning. Afhandlingen konkluderer, at under insulinstimulerede forhold er proteinsignaleringen i de to undersøgte muskelfibertyper ens. I modsætning hertil er proteinsignaleringen forskelligartet i de undersøgte muskelfibertyper under fysisk aktivitet, særligt under intervalarbejde. Afhandlingen understreger vigtigheden af at foretage muskelfiberspecifikke analyser, da forskelle i energiomsætning mellem muskelfibre tilsyneladende er afhængig af, det pågældende stimulus (fysisk aktivitet versus stimulering med insulin). Mere om afhandlingen Regulering af glukosemetabolisme er, til trods for intensiv forskning igennem årtier, endnu uafklaret. Skeletmuskler er særdeles vigtige for vedligeholdelsen af blodets glukosebalance. Regulering af glukosemetabolismen i skeletmuskler foregår via proteinsignalering og ændringer i aktiviteten af metaboliske enzymer. Skeletmuskler er opbygget af tusindvis af muskelfibre. Muskelfibre kan groft klassificeres i type I og type II muskelfibre. Det overordnede formål med denne ph.d. afhandling var at undersøge effekten af insulin og fysisk aktivitet på muskelfibertypespecifik metabolisk signalering i mennesker. Betydningen af type I muskelfibre i mennesker er illustreret ved, at der er fundet en positiv korrelation imellem den relative andel af type I fibre i en muskel og kroppens insulinfølsomhed. Dette fund indikerer at type I muskelfibre er mere insulinfølsomme end type II muskelfibre. Øget insulinfølsomhed i type I muskelfibre kunne være resultatet af en bedre virkning af insulin på metabolisk signalering sammenlignet med type II muskelfibre. Dette blev i nærværende ph.d. afhandling undersøgt i muskelbiopsier fra normalvægtige og overvægtige raske forsøgspersoner og i overvægtige patienter med type 2 diabetes. Fra disse muskelbiopsier blev enkeltfibre dissekeret ud. Disse fibre blev fibertypebestemt og samlet i grupper af type I og II muskelfibre til bestemmelse af reguleringen af signaleringsproteiner og enzymer, involveret i glukosemetabolisme. Resultaterne fra dette studie tyder på, at følsomheden for insulin til at regulere disse signaleringsproteiner i muskler er ens i type I og II muskelfibre uanset hvilken gruppe af forsøgspersoner man tilhører. Til gengæld har type I muskelfibre en øget proteinmængde af metaboliske enzymer ift. type II muskelfibre. Dette tyder på, at type I muskelfibre har en højere kapacitet til at håndtere glukose sammenlignet med type II muskelfibre. For at undersøge om reguleringen af proteiner involveret i glukosemetabolisme under et enkeltstående stykke arbejde er muskelfibertypespecifik, blev der udtaget muskelbiopsier fra raske unge mænd. Forsøgspersonerne havde forinden udført enten kontinuerligt eller intervalarbejde. Prøver bestående af type I og II muskelfibre blev fremstillet som beskrevet i ovenstående. Resultaterne fra dette studie tyder på, at reguleringen af det metabolisk regulerende protein, AMP-aktiveret proteinkinase (AMPK) og AMPKs nedenstrømsproteiner reagerer ens i type I og II muskelfibre under kontinuerligt arbejde. I modsætning hertil var der en nedsat regulering af disse proteiner i type I ift. type II muskelfibre under intervalarbejde. Den overordnede konklusion er at metabolisk signalering i type I og II muskelfibre i nogle tilfælde er ens (under insulinstimulering og kontinuerligt arbejde) og i andre tilfælde er forskellig (under intervalarbejde). Mængden af signaleringsproteiner og metaboliske enzymer er i mange tilfælde forskellig mellem type I og II muskelfibre, indikerende at deres glukosemetabolisme er forskellig. 2014, 184 sider ISBN 978 87 7611 762 7 Tid 20. juni 2014 kl. 14.00 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København.

Imidlertid er der utilstrækkelig videnskabelig evidens for denne opfattelse. I høj-indkomst lande som Danmark er kostens kvalitet, samt indtaget af jern og n-3 langkædede polyumættede fedtsyrer (n-3 LCPUFA) fra fed fisk de mest relevante ernæringsrelaterede forhold i relation til kognitive funktioner. Få studier har undersøgt effekten af skolemad på børns kognition og indlæring i høj-indkomst lande. De fleste tidligere skolemadsstudier har undersøgt effekten af at øge udbuddet af sund mad i skolekantinen og undersøgte ikke effekten af dette på børnenes kostindtag eller på biomarkører for jern- og n-3 LCPUFA-status. Desuden sætter metodiske svagheder ved disse studier spørgsmålstegn ved resultaternes validitet. OPUS Skolemadsprojekt var et cluster-randomiseret overkrydsningsforsøg, som blev implementeret i tredje og fjerde klassetrin på ni danske skoler. Den tre måneder lange intervention bestod af et sundt skolemadsprogram baseret på Ny Nordisk Hverdagsmad, og blev sammenlignet med børnenes sædvanlige madpakke hjemmefra (kontrolperioden). Ved baseline og i slutningen af hver studieperiode blev der foretaget en række målinger, herunder vægt, højde og blodprøve, samt en vurdering af fysisk aktivitet og kostindtag over syv dage. Herudover vurderede vi elevernes præstation i d2 opmærksomheds- og koncentrationstest, samt i danske standardtests af færdigheder i læsning og matematik. Blodets indhold af hæmoglobin og ferritin, samt blodets fedtsyresammensætning blev benyttet som biomarkører for jern- og n-3 LCPUFA-status. Det overordnede formål med denne ph.d. afhandling var, at undersøge effekten af at servere sunde skolemåltider på 8-11 årige børns opmærksomhed og faglige færdigheder i skolen. Herunder undersøges det hvilken rolle n-3 LCPUFA-status og jernstatus spillede, samt hvorvidt skolemadsinterventionen havde forskellig effekt afhængig af forældrenes uddannelsesniveau, køn og barnets læsefærdigheder ved baseline. 2014, 139 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 752 8 Tid 20. juni 2014 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium A1-01.01, Festauditoriet, Bülowsvej 17, Frederiksberg.

Abstract Women demonstrate distinctive body fat distributions before and after menopause, and circulating estrogen status is associated with the maintenance of this adiposity patterning. Hormonal therapies and short-term exposure to gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists or antagonists can result in alterations in energy expenditure, adiposity, and lean mass. However, the influence of estrogens on region-specific adiposity and metabolism is unclear. We have found that local in-vivo exposure of subcutaneous adipose tissue to 17β-estradiol results in region-specific effects on lipolysis that may occur through both adrenergic and adrenergic-independent mechanisms to either potentiate or blunt lipolysis. There is also likely dose-dependency of these effects. Furthermore, the depot-specific estrogen receptor content may be an important underlying determinant of regional effects of estrogen in upper and lower body adipose tissue. The specific circumstances of hormonal exposure must therefore be carefully considered when making conclusions regarding the metabolic effects of estrogens.

My studies at ECU have been diverse, encompassing exercise training and nutritional interventions across the lifespan, from prepubescent children to aged individuals. My studies have focused primarily on the regulation of microcirculation and lipolysis by nitric oxide and other compounds as studied with microdialysis and tissue biopsies. A recent publication from my lab of 17β-estradiol mediated regional differences in lipolysis in women was highlighted in the American Physiological Journal in July, 2013. My current NIH funding supports studies into the effects of obesity and exercise training on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the regulation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) mediated skeletal muscle blood flow. We will continue these studies of ROS-NOS interactions in obesity with exercise, nutritional, and weight-loss interventions.

Denne metode blev endvidere anvendt til at undersøge den karudvidende virkning af både insulin og inkretinhormont glukagon-like-peptid-1 (GLP -1) på mikrocirkulationen. Glukagon-like-peptid-1 analoger er lægemidler der anvendes til behandling af insulinresistens og type 2-diabetes, men de vaskulære virkninger af GLP-1 in vivo er stadig uklare. Her fandt vi at, ligesom insulin, øgede GLP-1 den mikrovaskulære rekrutering, men i modsætning til insulin uden direkte effekt på glukoseoptagelsen i skeletmuskulaturen. Mere om afhandlingen I dette ph.d. arbejde blev en ny metode til måling af den mikrovaskulære rekruttering udviklet og evalueret ved hjælp kontrastforstærkede ultralyds optagelser foretaget i real-time. Gasfyldte mikrobobler blev infunderet intravenøst og ved at udnytte mikroboblernes ekkogene egenskaber blev resonansen fra mikroboblerne i den systemiske cirkulation optaget og kvantificeret til bestemmelse af den mikrovaskulære rekruttering i prædefinerede muskel segmenter. Resultaterne viste, at den mikrovaskulære rekruttering steg med ~30% i rotter, og ~40% i mennesker efter insulinstimulering. Endvidere blev det observeret, at muskelkontraktioner øgede muskel perfusion hurtigt og den mikrovaskulære rekruttering steg 3-4 fold over basalniveauet hvilket samtidig var en 1-2 fold stigning over den insulinstimulerede effekt, i henholdsvis rotte og human skeletmuskulatur (studie I). Denne real-time kontrastforstærkede ultralyds metode blev endvidere anvendt til at undersøge den vaso-aktive virkning af inkretinhormon glukagon-like-peptid-1 (GLP -1) på mikrocirkulationen. Glukagon-like-peptid-1 analoger er lægemidler der anvendes til behandling af insulinresistens og type 2-diabetes, men de vaskulære virkninger af GLP-1 in vivo er stadig uklare. Her blev det vist, at GLP-1 hurtigt øgede den mikrovaskulære rekruttering med ~60% i human- og ~30% i rotte skeletmuskulatur, og at denne effekt var uafhængigt af insulin (studie II og III). Endvidere blev det i rotter, observeret at akut infusion af GLP-1 øgede den mikrovaskulære rekruttering og derved ophævede den kostinducerede insulinresistens der indtraf efter både 5 dages- og 8 ugers indtagelse af en fedtrig kost bestående af 60 E% fedt. Den GLP-1 inducerede stigning i den mikrovaskulære rekruttering var associeret med en normalisering af både helkrops insulinfølsomheden og den insulinmedierede glukoseoptagelse i skeletmuskulaturen når GLP-1 blev infunderet med insulin efter 5 dages- men ikke efter 8 ugers kostintervention bestående at 60E% fedt.

These modifications include phosphorylation, acetylation, and mono-, di-, and tri-methylation, and while some are associated with transcriptional repression, acetylation of lysine residues within H3 generally correlates with transcriptional activation. Histone acetylation is regulated by the balance between the activities of histone acetyl transferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC). In skeletal muscle, the class II HDACs 4, 5, 7, and 9 play a key role in muscle development and adaptation and have been implicated in exercise adaptations. As just one example, exercise results in the nuclear export of HDACs 4 and 5, secondary to their phosphorylation by CaMKII and AMPK, two kinases that are activated during exercise in response to changes in sarcoplasmic Ca2+ levels and energy status, in association with increased GLUT4 expression in human skeletal muscle. Unravelling the complexities of the so-called ""histone code"" before and after exercise is likely to lead to a greater understanding of the regulation of exercise/activity-induced alterations in skeletal muscle gene expression and reinforce the importance of skeletal muscle plasticity in health and disease.

Svær overvægt øger blandt andet risikoen for at udvikle type 2 diabetes, hjertekarsygdom og cancer, som er blandt de sygdomme, der slår flest mennesker ihjel på verdensplan. Forebyggelses- og behandlingsstrategier, der kan reducere sygelighed og dødelighed som følge af svær overvægt, er derfor afgørende. I de senere år et der blevet spekuleret i om bakterier der lever i menneskets tarm er involveret i udviklingen af overvægtsrelaterede sygdomme, og om næringsstoffer fra kosten der stimulerer væksten af specifikke tarmbakterier kan være en strategi til forebyggelse af netop disse sygdomme.

Abstract Marine fish and turtles maintain an internal osmotic pressure of ~300 mOsm and are forced to ingest seawater to compensate for diffusive water loss to the surrounding seawater. Imbibed seawater is desalinized in the water-impermeable esophagus, resulting in intestinal fluids slightly hyperosmotic to the blood plasma. Hypertonic fluid absorption by the intestinal epithelium is driven by Na+ and Cl- absorption, with ~50% of Cl- absorption being attributable to anion exchange resulting in high luminal concentrations of HCO3- (up to 100 mM). This luminal HCO3- reacts with Ca2+ ingested with seawater to form CaCO3 precipitates in the intestinal lumen, a reaction that results in reductions of luminal osmotic pressure by as much as 100 mOsm. Further reductions in luminal osmotic pressure occur as H+ secreted by distal intestinal segments is titrated with luminal HCO3-, facilitating continued water absorption. Intestinal anion exchange is thus important for solute coupled as well as osmotic fluid absorption and is mediated by the apical a6 member of the SLC26 family of anion transporters, an electrogenic nHCO3-/Cl- exchanger. HCO3- for intestinal secretion comes from two sources: Hydration of endogenous CO2, catalyzed by cytosolic carbonic anhydrase (CAc), and HCO3- imported across the basolateral membrane via the NBC1 member of the SLC4 family of anion transporters, the latter forming the rate limiting step for overall intestinal HCO3- secretion rates. The formation of CaCO3 precipitates in the intestinal lumen appears to be facilitated by matrix proteins and the release of these CaCO3 precipitates to the environment may be mediated by a diuretic response in the distal intestinal segments. The distal intestine of marine fish responds to peptides of the guanylin family with a transient reversal of an absorptive to a secretory Cl- current mediated by NKCC1 and CFTR, a response which is associated with a secretory water flux. It is clear that the reduction in luminal osmotic pressure achieved by CaCO3 production is critical for osmoregulation and thus survival of marine organisms. The excretion of these precipitates also contributes significantly to the inorganic oceanic carbon cycle and likely explains observations of increased titratable alkalinity with depth above the aragonite lysocline (Ω=1), a connection that links fish physiology to important global processes.

"AKC Seminar: Crosstalk between muscle cells and immune cells in high fat environments";"August Krogh Centre";"2014-05-13";"14:00";"";"15:30";"Auditorium 1, August Krogh Building, Universitetsparken 13, DK-2100 Copenhagen ";"Senior Scientist Dr. Amira Klip presenting in August Krogh Club.";"August Krogh Club Seminar Senior Scientist Dr. Amira Klip The Hospital for Sick Children, and Professor of Paediatrics, Biochemistry and Physiology, The University of Toronto, Canada Abstract Obesity-associated low-grade inflammation in metabolically relevant tissues contributes to insulin resistance. We recently reported a noticeable monocyte/macrophage infiltration in mouse and human skeletal muscles, and will present key findings. Further, the molecular triggers of this infiltration are unknown, and recent unpublished findings will be presented. Animal studies are not amenable to specifically investigate the vectorial cellular communication between myocytes and immune cells, but this is discernible using cell culture paradigms. We first investigated the crosstalk between L6 myotubes and monocytes (macrophage precursors) exposed to physiological levels of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Media from L6 myotubes treated with palmitate – but not palmitoleate – induced THP1 monocyte migration across transwells. Palmitate activated the TLR4-NFκB pathway in myotubes and elevated cytokine expression, but the monocyte chemoattracting agent was not a polypeptide. Instead, nucleotide degradation eliminated the chemoattracting properties of the myotube conditioned-media. Moreover, palmitate-induced expression and activity of pannexin-3 channels in myotubes was mediated by TLR4-NFkB, and TLR4-NFkB inhibition or pannexin-3 knockdown prevented monocyte chemoattraction. In mice, the expression of pannexin channels was increased in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in response to high fat feeding. These findings identify pannexins as a new target of saturated fatty acid-induced inflammation in myotubes, and point to nucleotides as possible mediators of immune cell chemoattraction towards muscle in the context of obesity. We next investigated if muscle cells affect the polarization status of macrophages. Fatty acid-free media from palmitate-treated muscle cells caused macrophage ‘M1-like’ inflammatory polarization whereas media from palmitoleate-treated muscle cells did not. On their own, palmitate caused macrophage ‘M1-like’ polarization and palmitoleate caused ‘M2-like’ anti-inflammatory polarization. Finally, the converse contribution of macrophages to muscle cells was investigated. Fatty acid-free media from palmitate-treated macrophages conferred insulin resistance to muscle cells, through activation of atypical PKC epsilon and theta in the muscle cells. These results reveal a bidirectional communication between muscle and immune cells that may underlie the infiltration of macrophages into muscle tissue that occurs in vivo during high fat diets and contributes to the development of insulin resistance.

Fortællinger fra hjertesyges livsverden, viser at deltagere, der har været motionsaktive fra barndommen også er det i deres voksenliv og fortsat er det efter rehabiliteringsforløbet. Hvorimod deltagere der aldrig har været aktive før rehabiliteringsprogrammet, kæmper med at fastholde et aktivt liv. De hjertesyges fortællinger viser samtidig, hvor betydningsfuldt det er at medtænke de sociale relationer i forbindelse med rehabilitering, da det at møde op til motionstilbud, hvor mennesker ved hvem du er og hvad du har oplevet i livet, netop kan være med til at fastholde et motionsaktivt liv. Ph.d. afhandlingen er en fænomenologisk livshistorisk kvalitativ undersøgelse af hjertesyge mænd og kvinders hverdagsliv, og deres erfaringer med at livsstilsforandre, både under og efter rehabiliteringsforløbet. Mere om afhandlingen Undersøgelsen er en kvalitativ fænomenologisk undersøgelse af 21 hjertesyge mænd og kvinders hverdagsliv, og deres erfaringer med at livsstilsforandre, både under og efter et rehabiliterende træningsforløb. Undersøgelsen har et overordnet livshistorisk perspektiv, der søger at afdække oplevelser og erfaringer med fysisk aktivitet i barndommen, voksenlivet og i forbindelse med hjertesygdom og rehabiliteringsforløb. Dette gøres gennem livshistoriske fokusgruppeinterview (n=12) samt individuelle interview (n=18) halvandet år efter træningsforløbene. Undersøgelsens formål er at udvikle mere nuancerede forståelser af livsstilsforandringsproblematikker og selvhåndteringsstrategier, der opstår i forbindelse med rehabiliteringstilbud. Undersøgelsen viser, at den individuelle livshistorie har stor betydning for livsstilsforandringer. Fortællinger fra hjertesyges livsverden, viser at deltagere, der har været motionsaktive fra barndommen også er det i deres voksenliv og fortsat er det efter rehabiliteringsforløbet. Hvorimod deltagere der aldrig har været aktive før rehabiliteringsprogrammet, kæmper med at fastholde et aktivt liv. Hverdagslivets rutiner fortsætter således for mange, også selv om, man har viden om og har oplevet, at man får det fysisk bedre ved at motionere. Når evidensen møder modstand i denne undersøgelse, handler det om at det ikke er nok at vide, hvordan man mest effektivt træner sin krop, hvis denne krop ikke er mødt eller forstået som en individuel krop. Det lystbetonede vækkes ikke nødvendigvis gennem effektiv træning. Gennem de hjertesyges livsfortællinger får vi indblik i individuelle livsvilkår og betingelser, der er med til at påvirke deres evne til at leve et motionsaktivt liv, som alle er individuelle livsvilkår der ikke kan rummes i et rehabiliteringstilbud. Det er derfor undersøgelsens hovedkonklusion at denne form medikaliserede og evidensbaserede tilgang til livsstilsforandring, ikke kan inkorporeres i hjertesyges hverdagsliv. De hjertesyges fortællinger viser samtidig, hvor betydningsfuldt det er at medtænke de sociale relationer i forbindelse med rehabilitering, da det at møde op til motionstilbud, hvor mennesker ved hvem du er og hvad du har oplevet i livet, netop kan være med til at fastholde et motionsaktivt liv. 2014, 313 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 740 5 Tid 13. maj 2014 kl. 14.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N.

Petersen Ph.d. afhandling En vigtig rolle for D vitamin er at medvirke til calcium absorption og metabolisme, hvilket er essentielt for en række funktioner i kroppen. I perioder med knoglevækst øges børns behov for calcium, og D vitamin menes at være særlig vigtig her. Samtidig tyder meget på at D vitamin spiller en rolle for andet end knoglesundhed, såsom risikoen for hjerte-kar sygdom og type II diabetes. D vitamin status er kompleks at vurdere og påvirke, bl.a. fordi kosten ikke er den eneste kilde, og fordi der fortsat er usikkerhed om, hvad den optimale D vitamin koncentration er. Menneskers primære kilde til D vitamin menes at være syntese i huden som følge af soleksponering, mens indtag via fødevare, kosttilskud og evt. berigede fødevarer menes at være sekundære kilder. På nordlige breddegrader er syntese fra sollyset dog ikke mulig om vinteren, og lave vinter koncentrationer er fundet hos danske børn. Samtidig er meget få fødevarer naturligt rige på D vitamin, og man ved ikke nok om hvilken effekt indtag af D vitamin fra kosten har på børns D vitamin status. Formålet med denne ph.d. var at undersøge aspekter omkring danske børns D vitamin status vedrørende sufficiens niveau, potentiale for at forbedre status, og om D vitamin status er associeret med cardio-metaboliske markører.

Alle fødevarer blev udleveret gratis efter ad libitum princippet fra en til formålet oprettet butik. Efter 26 uger havde NND gruppen tabt 4,7 kg, hvilket var 3,2 kg mere end ADD gruppen. Derudover havde NND gruppen et større fald i blodtryk sammenlignet med ADD gruppen, og dette fald var delvist uafhængigt af vægttabet. Efter interventionen blev alle deltagere opfordret til at følge NND i yderligere 52 uger (opfølgningsperiode). Sammenholdt med før interventionen var det totale vægttab for NND gruppen 1,7 kg og 1,8 kg for ADD gruppen. Blodtrykket forblev lavere end før interventionen i NND gruppen, hvilket kun var delvist tilfældet for ADD gruppen. Selvevalueret efterlevelse og tilfredshed med NND var høj i NND gruppen i løbet af interventionen, og forblev relativ høj i løbet af opfølgningsperioden.

Reinhard Stelter, professor i idræts- og coachingpsykologi, NEXS, KU og forfatter til bogen ”Tredje generations coaching”. Vi lever i et hyperkomplekst samfund, hvor både den enkelte og organisationer har udfordringer med at håndtere den stigende sociale mangfoldighed og organisatoriske diffusitet, og hvor det er blevet umuligt at komme frem til entydelige og langstidsholdbare løsninger på givne udfordringer. Disse mangeloplevelser er udgangspunktet i coachingrelationen eller i dialoger med inspiration fra coaching. Dagsordenen for coachingsamtalen er at give rum til nye refleksioner ved at indlede en proces, som leder til transformation, ny selvforståelse og handlekompetence. Denne proces kan inspireres af tredje generations coaching, hvor coach og coachee er samskabende partnere i dialogen med et særligt fokus på værdirefleksion og det meningsgivende.Med udgangspunkt i forskning om ’common factors’ er det Stelters hovedintention for foredraget at belyse centrale perspektiver, som styrker relationen i retning af tredje generations coaching: 1.

Det overordnede formål med min PhD-afhandling var derfor at beskrive fysisk aktivitet, stillesiddende adfærd og søvn i 8-11 årige danske børn og relatere disse til sundhedsparametrene kostindtag, overvægt og kardiovaskulære risikofaktorer. De fleste børn opfyldte ikke internationale anbefalinger for skærmtid, fysisk aktivitet og søvnlængde. Fysisk aktivitet var lavest og stillesiddende tid højest i løbet af vinteren og i weekenden og søvn var desuden lavere i weekenden. Kort søvnlængde, høj variation i søvnlængden samt oplevelsen af søvnproblemer var forbundet med en fedmefremmende kost. Kort søvnlængde var desuden forbundet med et højere fedtmasse index og en øget kardiovaskulær risiko. Et fald i fysisk aktivitet var forbundet med stigende fedtmasse index og kardiovaskulær risiko henover 200 dage. Herudover prædikterede fedtmasse index ved første måling faldet i fysisk aktivitet og stigningen i stillesiddende tid henover 200 dage. Endeligt var kombinationen af negative niveauer i fysisk aktivitet, stillesiddende adfærd og søvn synergetisk forbundet med højere fedtmasse index og kardiovaskulær risiko. Disse resultater tyder på, at fysisk aktivitet, stillesiddende adfærd og søvn har potentialet til at nedsætte den kardiovaskulær risiko i barndommen, om end effekten muligvis er medieret eller konfounded af fedtmassen, og at vinter og weekend kan fungere som vigtige interventionsperioder for dette. 2014, 146 sider ISBN 978 87 7611 723 8 Tid 31. marts 2014 kl. 13.00 Sted Festauditoriet, 1-01, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg C.

Type 2 Diabetes er forbundet med organers nedsatte evne til at reagere på insulin som udskilles efter et måltid mad. I skeletmuskulatur medfører insulinet at blodsukkeret fra maden optages i musklerne. Skeletmuskulaturen er unik da den er ansvarlige for hovedparten af insulinstimuleret sukkeroptagelse. Derudover har skeletmuskler også evnen til at optage sukker via insulin uafhængige mekanismer. Dette sker under fysisk aktivitet, og denne evne er ikke nedsat i Type 2 Diabetes, sandsynligvis fordi de intracellulære mekanismer, der regulerer insulin- og motions-stimuleret optagelse af sukker er forskellige. Derfor er fysisk aktivitet en vigtig måde hvorpå personer med Type 2 Diabetes kan sænke blodsukkeret ved at optage det i musklerne. Men de proteiner der regulerer disse processer er ikke klarlagte. I denne afhandling fandt vi at proteinet Rac1 blev aktiveret af både insulin og fysisk aktivitet i mus og menneskers skeletmuskel. Rac1 proteinet var nødvendig for normal regulering af både insulin - og motions-stimuleret sukkeroptagelse. Vi fandt også at Rac1`s aktivering var nedsat i skeletmuskulatur fra overvægtige og Type 2 Diabetiske mennesker samt i fede mus. Disse resultater viser at Rac1 proteinet regulerer både insulin- og motions-stimuleret sukkeroptagelse i skeletmuskulatur og at Rac1`s dysfunktionelle regulering kan være én af årsagerne til muskulær insulinresistens hos Type 2 Diabetiske patienter. 2014, 144 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 718 4 Tid 27. marts 2014 kl. 14.30 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København.

Poulsen har udgivet en række bøger om mentoring på dansk og engelsk. Hun var den første formand af EMCC (European Mentoring & Coaching Council) i Danmark fra 2007-2009. Coaching og mentoring anvendes i mange forskellige sammenhænge og med mange forskellige definitioner, som ikke alle er lige klare og entydige. Hvilke forskelle og ligheder er der i dag på coaching og mentoring? Hvilket udbytte giver coaching, og hvilket udbytte giver mentoring? Skal coachen kun stille spørgsmål, og skal mentor kun overføre viden og give gode råd? Hvad betyder det egentligt at være en god mentor? Er alle ledere automatisk gode mentorer? Disse spørgsmål og mange flere vil blive bragt op i præsentationen og i en diskussion med deltagerne. Kirsten vil desuden præsentere eksempler på, hvordan vi kan arbejde med både coaching og mentoring på samme tid – samt forudsætninger for at mentoring/coaching-programmer kan skabe resultater for både mentees/coachees, mentorer/coaches og for organisationen. En af disse forudsætninger er opmærksomheden på strukturelle og mentale barrierer i organisationen for udvikling gennem en-til-en samtaler.

Forskningen i fysisk aktivitet blandt yngre børn har været hindret af manglende metodisk konsensus, hvilket gør det svært at sammenligne fund på tværs af studier, og svært at komme med endelige konklusioner. Der mangler derfor fortsat viden om, præcist hvor aktive børn i denne aldersgruppe er. I denne kohorte af raske danske 3-årige fra SKOT studiet, var børnene mere aktive på dage, hvor de var i daginstitution, end på dage hvor de ikke var i daginstitution. Der var meget stor forskel på aktiviteten blandt den mindst aktive og den mest aktive kvartil af børnene. Således var nogle børn tilsyneladende i stand til at være meget aktive uanset tid og sted, mens de mindst aktive børn tilsvarende fastholdt et konstant lavt aktivitetsniveau uanset hvor de befandt sig, og uanset tid på dagen. Tiden tilbragt i let, moderat og høj aktivitet, samt tid tilbragt stillesiddende var hver især selvstændigt associeret til en række væsentlige sundhedsparametre. Stillesiddende adfærd var positivt relateret til højere niveauer af lav-densitets lipo-proteiner (LDL) og total kolesterol, samt højere puls, uafhængigt af mængden af tid tilbragt i moderat-til-høj aktivitet. Let aktivitet var positivt associeret til øget fedtfri-masse-indeks, uafhængigt af stillesiddende tid. Dette var formodentlig et udtryk for øget muskelmasse. Moderat til høj aktivitet var positivt associeret med fedtfri masse og vækstmarkører samt inverst associeret til puls, uafhængigt af stillesiddende tid. Endeligt var høj aktivitet positivt associeret til knoglemasse, ligeledes uafhængigt af stillesiddende tid. På samme vis var det, at leve op til anbefalingen for børn over 5 år om 1 times daglig moderat-til-høj fysisk aktivitet associeret med bedre kropssammensætningsmål, lavere puls og, lidt overraskende, højere blodtryk. Sundhedsadfærd så som aktivitets- og bevægelsesvaner grundlægges i høj grad i barndommen, og videreføres i resten af livet. Det er derfor væsentligt at fremhæve betydningen af fysisk aktivitet i barndommen, og at være særligt opmærksom på de mindst aktive børn. Anbefalinger om fysisk aktivitet for børn i børnehavealderen bør opfordre til øget tid i aktivitet og mindsket stillesiddende adfærd. Ligeledes bør der lægges vægt på øget aktivitet af moderat og høj intensitet. 2014, 166 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 717 7 Tid 21. marts 2014 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditoruim A2-70.03, Thorvaldsensvej 40, 1871 Frederiksberg C.

Kurt Højlund has been appointed adjoint professor at Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports at the University of Copenhagen. Abstract In collaboration with the group of professor Jørgen Wojtaszewski at the August Krogh Centre, Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports the research group of Kurt Højlund has focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle. Their studies have demonstrated impaired insulin action on Akt, TBC1D4 and glycogen synthase in the insulin signaling to glucose transport and glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscle in obesity, type 2 diabetes, PCOS and carriers of a mutation in the insulin receptor gene (INSR). This includes studies of the reversibility of insulin signaling defects in response to acute hyperglycemia, endurance training and acute exercise. Moreover research from his group including transcriptional profiling, proteomics and studies of isolated mitochondria indicates that abnormalities in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism are linked to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle in obesity, type 2 diabetes and PCOS, and that these defects are partly reversible. Interestingly, a recent study of INSR mutation carriers demonstrate that mitochondrial dysfunction could be consequence of insulin resistance. The group of Kurt Højlund is currently investigating the potential role of abnormalities in autophagy, unfolded protein response and reversible phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins in skeletal muscle in insulin resistant conditions.

Imidlertid har adgangen til en ubegrænset mængde af fødevarer og en mere stillesiddende livsstil ført til en øget forekomst af fedme og metabolisk syndrom. Fedme og metabolisk syndrom er komplekse lidelser, og er ikke udelukkende forårsaget af en kost med højt kalorieindhold og ringe mængder motion. Den specifikke karakter af næringsstofferne, uafhængigt af deres kalorieindhold, spiller også en rolle. Spørgsmålet er, hvilken? I søgen efter at besvare dette spørgsmål er det kvalitative indtag af protein af særlig interesse, da det har vist sig, at det er muligt at opnå større vægttab på en kost med højt proteinindhold sammenlignet med en kost med højt kulhydrat-indhold. Endvidere er det blevet påvist, at specifikt valleproteiner fra mælk har visse biologiske egenskaber, som kan være gavnlige i behandling og forebyggelse af metabolisk syndrom relateret til fedme og diabetes. I denne afhandling bliver effekten af valleindtag på det menneskelige metabolom undersøgt ved hjælp af en metabolomics-tilgang. Vi viser, at indtag af valle forårsager en lavere ventrikeltømningshastighed sammenlignet med andre proteinkilder. Dette står i kontrast til tidligere undersøgelser, som viser, at valleproteiner tømmes hurtigere fra ventriklen end andre proteiner. Paradoksalt i forhold til ovenstående så finder vi disproportionalt høje niveauer af nogle aminosyrer (AA) efter indtag af valle-måltidet. Dette indikerer, at absorptionen af aminosyrer påvirkes uafhængigt af, eller i det mindste ikke fuldstændigt kontrolleres af ventrikeltømningshastigheden. Derudover finder vi, at valle nedsætter niveauet af et antal fedtsyrer på grund af øget insulinniveau, hvilket sandsynligvis er induceret af de forhøjede aminosyreniveauer. På nuværende tidspunkt er identifikation af stofferne den største flaskehals i metabolomics studier af denne type. Derfor vil denne afhandling præsentere og diskutere nogle af de nyeste værktøjer til computerassisteret identifikation af stoffer, herunder: annotering af fragmenter, bestemmelse af molekylær-ionen, in silico fragmentering, retentionstids-overførsel mellem analytiske systemer og de novo retentionstidsforudsigelse. Et sammenhængende system, der kombinerer disse værktøjer, bliver beskrevet, og den potentielle indflydelse på metabolomics-feltet understreges. 2014, 196 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 704 7 Tid 21. februar 2014 kl. 13.00 Sted A2-70.04 - Marble Hall, Thorvaldsensvej 40, 1871 Frederiksberg C Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Søren Balling Engelsen (chair), Department of Food Science University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

De eksisterende metoder til at bestemme kostindtag er i høj grad baseret på selv-rapportering og det er velkendt at disse metoder er meget usikre. Biomarkører som måles i biologiske prøver er objektive mål og derfor fordelagtige til at bestemme hvad en person har spist. Desværre er der kun få veldokumenterede biomarkører som bruges ofte i ernæringsforskning og der er derfor et behov for at finde nye markører, især for indtag af enkelte fødevarer. I denne afhandling er untargeted metabolomics, som er en relativt ny metode indenfor ernæringsforskning, anvendt til at finde nye potentielle markører i urin for indtag af en række fødevarer. Det er desuden undersøgt om det er muligt at adskille to veldefinerede kostmønstre, ny nordisk hverdagsmad (NNH) og gennemsnitlig dansk kost (GDK), i urinprøver fra et kontrolleret interventionsstudie. I afhandlingen indgår data fra tre studier: Et kontrolleret overkrydsningsstudie med ni forskellige måltider, en række små måltidsstudier med enkelte fødevarer og et seks måneders parallelt interventionsstudie med NNH og GDK. Ved brug af LC-MS baseret untargeted metabolomics blev fundet 35 markører, der var relateret til indtag af bestemte fødevarer i studierne, bl.a. kål, citrus, rødbeder, valnødder og fisk. En del af de fundne markører blev fundet i alle de undersøgte studier og er derfor meget lovende nye kostmarkører i urin. Flere af markørerne er også fundet i andre metabolomics studier. Det var muligt at adskille NNH og GDK i 24 timers urinprøver ved en multivariat model baseret på måling af 52 metabolitter. Metabolitterne i modellen afspejlede indtag af karakteristiske fødevarer for begge kosttyper, dog mest GDK. Ved en validering af modellen blev 81% af 139 prøver klassificeret korrekt. Antallet af misklassificerede prøver var størst for NNH. En sammenligning af forsøgspersoner med misklassificerede og korrekt klassificerede NNH prøver i modellen for forskellige kendte komplians relaterede parametre tyder på at flere personer i denne kostgruppe ikke har overholdt forsøgskosten. Alt i alt underbygger resultaterne i denne afhandling untargeted metabolomics som et lovende værktøj til udvikling af nye eksponerings- og komplians markører for kostindtag. 2014, 184 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 686 6 Tid 24. januar 2014 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium A2-83.01, Thorvaldsensvej 40, 1871 Frederiksberg C.

Iltoptagelses kinetik beskriver de forskellige faser af iltoptagelsesforløbet. Hurtig iltoptagelses kinetik anses som fordelagtig i intens udholdenhedssport af ~2-8 minutters varighed, mens en lav iltoptagelse under stabile forhold (høj nyttevirkning) anses som særlig fordelagtigt i længerevarende discipliner. For at opnå yderligere viden om hvilke mekanismer, der regulerer iltoptagelses kinetikken, i særdeleshed i starten af et arbejde, blev der gennemført 5 studier, hvor der blev manipuleret med ilt leverancen, indtag af nitrat gennem kosten, trænings intensitet og forudgående arbejde.

Fødselsvægt og vækstmønster de første leveår har vist sig stærkt relateret til senere kropssammensætning og fedmerisiko. Denne afhandling giver en nærmere beskrivelse af kropssammensætningen i 3-årsalderen, og hvordan tidlige vækstmønstre, spædbarnskosten og vækstfaktoren insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) relaterer sig til fordelingen af fedt- og fedtfri masse ved 3 år. Samtidig er der forskning, der tyder på, at øget væksttempo inklusiv højdetilvækst er relateret til et tidligt lavpunkt på BMI-kurven med efterfølgende tidligt opsving i BMI, hvilket også er associeret med øget fedmerisiko. IGF-I er relateret til tidlige vækstmønstre med større vægt og længdetilvækst, og relationen mellem IGF-I koncentrationen ved 9 og 36 måneder, kostindtag og kropssammensætning ved 3 år bliver udforsket. Disse aspekter af forskningen er relevante i søgningen efter modificerbare faktorer i den tidlige barndom, som kan fremme udviklingen af en mere optimal kropssammensætning og mindske risikoen for udvikling af fedme. 2014, 155 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 667 5 Tid 10. januar 2014 kl. 13.00 Sted Festauditoriet, 1-01, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg C.

Mette Trangbæk Hammer, cand. mag. i dansk og idræt, vicerektor på Sankt Annæ Gymnasium, forfatter til lærebøger og senest medforfatter til bogen ”Narrativ ledelse – forandring gennem spørgsmål og fortællinger”. Narrativ ledelse handler om at lytte og spørge ind til de fortællinger, der findes overalt i relationer mellem mennesker. Som leder kan man komme langt med en anerkendende og åbnende praksis til gavn for både arbejdspladsen og den enkelte. Når man som leder træder ind i en position som coach gælder nogle helt særlige uskrevne etiske regler. Forelæsningen vil fokusere på, hvordan man som leder af primært ressourcestærke medarbejdere kan anvende det narrative perspektiv i bestræbelsen på at gribe nye ideer som potentielle innovationer, at møde og forstå konflikterne, mens de endnu er til at løse og at skabe mening for den enkelte og arbejdspladsen. Sprogteori har her stor relevans, fordi argumentation, diskurser, kommunikation, metaforbrug og sproghandlinger er en del af hverdagen for os alle. Det er i stor udstrækning gennem sproget, vi leder. Forelæsningen vil fokusere på, hvordan de korte samtaler i hverdagen samt de mere formelle som medarbejderudviklingssamtalen kan gentænkes og fornyes gennem et narrativt perspektiv.

Louise Bruun Werner Ph.d. afhandling Prævalensen af kardiovaskulære sygdomme og type 2 diabetes er stigende i den vestlige verden, og alle tiltag, der kan forebygge udviklingen heraf eller reducere de med følgende komplikationer, er derfor relevante. Et af disse er brugen af bioaktive komponenter i fødevarer. Phytansyre (PA) er en fedtsyre der specifikt findes i fedt fra drøvtyggende dyr og dannes ved nedbrydningen af klorofyl molekylet. PA er fra dyre- og celleforsøg blevet foreslået at have en forbyggende effekt på de metaboliske dysfunktioner. Indholdet af PA i mælkefedt har vist sig at stige i takt med indholdet af grønt foder givet til malkekøerne, og der er derfor potentiale i at øge indholdet af denne fedtsyre i mejeriprodukter. Målet for første del af denne ph.d. afhandling var at undersøge om fodring med grønt plantemateriale til køer fører til et mælkefedt med en mere sundhedsgavnlig virkning - med fokus på phytansyre. Dette blev evalueret ud fra to humane kost intervention studier. Omkring en tredjedel af den samlede menneskeskabte udledning af drivhusgasser i Europa er relateret til fødevareproduktion, hvoraf animalske produkter generelt er forbundet med en relativt større udledning per kg sammenlignet med vegetabilske produkter. I den forbindelse har der været en tro på, at forbrugerne kan bidrage positivt til at reducere miljøbelastningen ved at erstatte animalske produkter med vegetabilske produkter. Imidlertid er det vigtigt at afveje den ernæringsmæssige værdi af alternative valg af fødevarer, når vi diskuterer behovet for at reducere drivhusgasudledningen. Målet med anden del af denne ph.d. afhandling var at belyse mejeriprodukternes ernæringsmæssige rolle og endvidere at klarlægge effekten af ændret kostvalg på udledningen af drivhusgasser, samt beregne ernæringsværdien af den enkelte fødevare i forhold til dets klimapåvirkning. 2013, 160 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 656 9 Tid 21. november 2013 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium A2-83.01, Thorvaldsensvej 40, stuen, 1871 Frederiksberg C.

DOPING OG ANTI-DOPING: Oprettelsen af World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) i 1999 markerede en ny start for den internationale bekæmpelse af doping. Den første WADA-kode blev introduceret i 2004, og hermed blev rammerne for en omfattende harmonisering, koordinering, effektivisering og standardisering af anti-doping politikker og regler udstukket. Vi ved kun lidt om, hvordan udøvere oplever nøgle-elementer i anti-doping policy, hvorfor nogle udøvere vælger at anvende lovlige og ulovlige præstationsfremmende midler, og andre ikke gør det, samt hvilken rolle anti-doping policy (f.eks. doping test og straffe) spiller i den henseende. Det overordnede mål i afhandlingen er at undersøge, hvordan eliteidrætsudøvere af forskelligt køn, alder og idrætsgren forholder sig til spørgsmål om lovlige og ulovlige præstationsfremmende midler, hvilken rolle forskellige dele af anti-dopingindsatsen spiller for udøverne, både i dagligdagen og som præventiv faktor samt hvorvidt den nuværende bekæmpelse af doping har konsekvenser for udøverne. Afhandlingen tager udgangspunkt i syv forskningsspørgsmål med det fælles referencepunkt, at de er tæt forbundet med spørgsmål om doping set i relation til den nuværende dopingbekæmpelse; at det er udøverens perspektiv, der belyses; og at der i hvert forskningsspørgsmål undersøges, om der ses køns-, alders-, og idrætsgrensspecifikke træk. Forskningsspørgsmålene besvares i forskellige kapitler i afhandlingen og i fem videnskabelige artikler. Afhandlingen er inspireret af en såkaldt mixed-metode Multi-dimensionel tilgang. I tråd med denne tilgang inddrages forskellige teoretiske forklaringsmodeller (fra forskellige fagdiscipliner) og metoder i afhandlingen. Det empiriske grundlag for afhandlingen er 34 semi-strukturerede interviews med eliteidrætsudøvere, tidligere eliteidrætsudøvere og eksperter samt en to-delt webbaseret spørgeskemaundersøgelse med danske eliteidrætsudøvere fra 40 forskellige idrætsgrene. Livet som eliteidrætsudøver og præstationsoptimeringsrutiner er i fokus i første skema (N=775), mens udøvernes oplevelser af doping og anti-doping arbejde undersøges i andet skema (N=645). 2013, 321 sider ISBN 978 87 9177 156 9 Tid 20. november 2013 kl. 15.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N.

Transformativ læring er den avancerede læringsform, vi kan betjene os af, når vi ændrer og videreudvikler elementer af vores identitet. I den aktuelle globaliserede verden, hvor der hele tiden sker dybtgående forandringer i vores livsvilkår -'den flydende modernitet' som det hedder hos den polsk-engelske sociolog Zygmunt Bauman - er der et stigende behov for og pres på den transformative læring: vi skal nødvendigvis følge med tiden og alle dens udviklinger. Men samtidig skal vi også holde fast i os selv, vores mål og vores værdier. Alt dette kræver en identitet, der kan fastholde en balance mellem stabilitet og fleksibilitet - og coaching kan forstås og praktiseres som en teknik, der kan bidrage til, at vi overkommer denne udfordrende balancegang, og det er bestemt en fordel, hvis både coach og coachee har kendskab til og indsigt i disse forhold.

Evans presenting in August Krogh Club.";"August Krogh Club Seminar Professor and Director Ronald M. Evans Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California Abstract Survival requires the ability to adapt to cycles of feast and famine yet the underlying mechanisms to maintain metabolic balance during extremes of nutrient challenge remain poorly understood. As part of a screen to identify genes that respond to feast and famine cues, we discovered that FGF1 is induced in white adipose tissue (WAT) in response to high-fat-diet (HFD) and repressed during a fast, pointing to an unexpected metabolic function. Thus, FGF1 participates in both fed-state and fasted-state responses. In WAT, FGF1 is induced by HFD through a PPAR-gamma dependent mechanism. On HFD, FGF1 deficient mice develop an aggressive diabetic phenotype, with adipose tissue becoming inflamed and unable to adapt to nutrient excess. As loss ofFGF1 results in a diabetic phenotype, synthetic FGF1 could be as a new class of insulin sensitizer. Mammalian metabolism is highly circadian and major hormonal circuits involving nuclear hormone receptors display interlinked diurnal cycling. However, mechanisms that logically explain the coordination of nuclear hormone receptors and the clock are poorly understood. Recently we have shown that two circadian co-regulators, Cryptochrome 1/2 (Cry 1 and 2), and Rev-erb a&b act in the liver to control both lipogenic and gluconeogenic programs. These observations expand our understanding of how metabolism is coordinated with geophysical time.

Der er en høj forekomst af overvægt blandt danske teenagere. Metabolisk syndrom er en ophobning af risikofaktorer for type 2 diabetes og atherosklerotisk hjertekarsygdomme, og dette syndrom er relateret til overvægt. Overvægtige børn har en højere koncentration af de metaboliske risikofaktorer end normalvægtige børn og den sygdomstilstand, som er underliggende for hjerte-karsygdomme, atherosklerose, ser ud til at starte i barndommen. En vigtig tidlig faktor for udvikling af atherosklerose, er karvæggens funktion. Men man ved kun lidt om hvilke kost- og livsstilsfaktorer, som påvirker funktionen af arterievæggen i barndommen. I denne PhD afhandling blev baseline data fra interventionsstudiet derfor brugt til at undersøge kost- og livsstilsfaktorers indflydelse på arterievæggens funktion hos overvægtige teenagere. Resultaterne viste, at øget fysisk aktivitet var relateret til en bedre funktion af arterievæggen, mens fedme centralt placeret på kroppen samt et højt proteinindtag var relateret til en dårlig funktion af arterievæggen. I interventionsstudiet blev teenagerne med et lavt mælkeindtag randomiseret til at drikke 1L skummetmælk, valle, kasein eller vand dagligt i tre måneder. Baggrunden for interventionen er, at mælk er en vigtig kilde til protein i den vestlige verden og at epidemiologiske studier har vist, at børn, som kun drikker lidt mælk, har en øget risiko for fedme og metabolisk syndrom end børn der drikker meget mælk. Formålet med interventionsstudiet var at undersøge om det er gavnligt for overvægtige teenagere, som har et lavt dagligt indtag af mælk at øge indtaget af skummetmælk og om en gavnlig effekt kan skyldes valle eller kasein. Resultaterne fra interventionsstudiet viste, at skummetmælk, valle og kasein øgede den alders-justerede BMI selvom der ikke var ændringer i energiindtaget. Resultaterne viste også, at valle og kasein øgede insulin sekretionen, målt ved C-peptid koncentrationen. Endelig viste interventionen, at kasein reducerede det diastoliske blodtryk med ca. 2 mm Hg uafhængigt af vægtstigningen. Det nedsatte diastoliske blodtryk hos de overvægtige børn, der drak kasein er sandsynligvis gavnligt i forebyggelsen af hjertekarsygdomme. De resterende resultater fra interventionsstudiet indikerer dog, at det ikke er hensigtsmæssigt for overvægtige børn at øge indtaget af valle og kasein. Studiet indikerer også, at det ikke vil være hensigtsmæssigt at anbefale at øge indtaget af skummetmælk til 1 L om dagen, da det ser ud til at øge kropsvægten. Endeligt viste studiet, at det er harmløst og muligvis gavnligt at supplementere overvægtig teenagere med vand. 2013, 112 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 653 8 Tid 1. november 2013 kl. 10.00 Sted Auditorium A1-01.01 (Festauditoriet), Det Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet, Københavns Universitet, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg.

Abstract Skeletal muscle has an enormous capacity to adapt to external stimuli such as physical activity, nutrient supply, temperature and oxygen levels by altering signaling pathways, metabolic properties, myofibrillar function and protein synthesis and degradation rates. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) is a regulatory nexus of endurance training in muscle. Every major signaling pathway activated in a contracting muscle fiber converges on this transcriptional coactivator at some point; in turn, PGC-1α controls the biological programs that are necessary to evoke an endurance trained phenotype in skeletal muscle. We are both interested in studying how upstream signaling is integrated and coordinated to activate PGC-1α as well as deconvoluting the transcriptional networks by which PGC-1α regulates distinct biological functions in this tissue. For example, we investigate the crosstalk between muscle fibers and the motor neuron to study how morphological and functional properties of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) are determined in a PGC-1α-dependent manner. Furthermore, we are interested in the metabolic remodeling and selective energy substrate usage in inactive and trained muscle, respectively. Intriguingly, many of the pathologies that are linked to an aberrant substrate usage have been associated with a persistent, sterile inflammation, most prominently type 2 diabetes. In white adipose tissue, a close link between metabolic regulation and macrophage infiltration and activation has been proposed. We therefore studied whether such a link also exists in skeletal muscle since we have previously shown that muscle-specific loss-of-function animal models for PGC-1α, which exhibit a phenotype that is remarkably similar to pathological inactivity, suffer from elevated tissue as well as systemic inflammation. Our findings suggest that the PGC-1s negatively modulate the transcriptional activity of the nuclear factor κB (NFκB) in muscle cells. Together, our results imply that the PGC-1 coactivators are the molecular mediators of the mutual regulation of metabolism and inflammation in skeletal muscle.

Der er på nuværende tidspunkt ikke påvist nogen simpel kur, forebyggelse eller behandling af T2D og de risikofaktorer der er relateret til sygdommen. Det kræver en kombination af flere interventioner for at behandle og/eller forebygge T2D. I dag er den primære behandling livstilsændringer i form af øget fysisk aktivitet og kostomlægning, hvilket stemmer overens med behandlingen af insulinresistens, IGT og fedme. Sekundært bliver farmakologisk behandling anvendt i de situationer hvor livsstilændringer ikke er tilstrækkeligt. Et af forskningsområderne inden for ernæring er forebyggelse og behandling af T2D. Her er optimeret glykæmisk kontrol et af de forebyggende tiltag der kan være med til at forsinke incidensen af T2D. Den postprandiale regulering af glukose er en kompleks proces, og der er flere metoder hvorpå den glykæmiske kontrol kan påvirkes. Den postprandiale regulering af glukose afhænger af faktorer som fysisk aktivitet, fødeindtag, mavetømningshastighed, den intraluminale glukose koncentration og aktiviteten af fordøjelsesenzymerne i brush border membranen. I denne ph.d. afhandling, fokuseres der på enzymaktiviteten i brush border membranen og evidens fra in vitro studier, dyrestudier og humane studier omhandlende L-arabinose, D-xylose og polyphenolers effekt på de kulhydrat- nedbrydende enzymer, og derved mulige effekt på det postprandiale respons. 2013, 138 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 638 4 Tid 17. oktober 2013 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium A1-01.01 (Festauditoriet), Det Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet, Københavns Universitet, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg Bedømmelsesudvalg Associate Professor, MD, PhD, Christian Mølgaard (chair), Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Abstract The talk will start with a summary of the discovery and main conceptual steps involved in our current understanding of purinergic signalling, including the metabolism of extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides. There is increasing interest in the pathophysiology of purinergic signalling and its therapeutic potential. The cotransmitter role of ATP appears to increase in pathological conditions, as in parasympathetic nerve control of human bladder in interstitial cystitis, obstructed and neurogenic bladder and in sympathetic nerve control of blood vessels in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Clopidogrel, a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, has been very successful for the treatment of stroke and thrombosis, making 7.09 billion dollars worldwide in 2011. There is current exploration of P2X3, P2X2/3, P2X4 and P2X7 receptor antagonists for the treatment of pain. A P2Y2 receptor agonist was successfully developed for the treatment of dry eye, approved for use in Japan. Purinergic therapeutic strategies are being explored for kidney failure, inflammatory bowel disease, osteoporosis, cough, IVF, disorders of the central nervous system and cancer.

Underernæring er blevet identificeret som en af de væsentligste årsager til denne dødelighed. Ernæringssupplementer er nu ved at blive en integreret del af hiv-programmer i afrikanske lande. Men supplementerne består ofte af mere eller mindre tilfældige produkter, såsom supplementer udviklet til børn med akut underernæring, og der er meget lidt evidens for deres effekter blandt hiv-patienter. Derudover er der behov for at undersøge, hvordan patienterne opfatter og bruger supplementet, for at kunne vurdere dets samlede anvendelighed. Denne ph.d. afhandling er baseret på data fra et studie i Etiopien, hvor vi undersøgte effekterne af tre måneders supplement til voksne hiv-patienter ved opstart af medicinsk behandling. Det daglige supplement bestod af 200 g jordnøddesmør tilsat vitaminer og mineraler samt protein fra enten valle eller soja. Studiets primære fund er at patienter, som modtog supplement, tog tre gange så meget vægt på, som dem der startede medicinsk behandling uden ernæringssupplement. Der var en markant effekt på mager kropsmasse, hvilket var ledsaget af en forbedring af deres muskelfunktion, set ved måling af gribestyrke. Derudover havde supplementet med valle-protein en positiv effekt på immunforsvaret. Et kvalitativt studie viste at patienterne var højt motiverede for at tage supplementet. Deres primære bekymring handlede om risikoen for, at andre ville opdage, at de var hiv-positive pga. supplementet, som de skulle tage med hjem. Derimod udgjorde hverken religiøse faste- eller sociale dele-praksisser barrierer for supplementets anvendelighed. Patienterne betragtede supplementet som en del af hiv-behandlingen, hvilket betød at mange af de sociale og religiøse normer, der normalt gælder for mad, ikke var aktuelle for supplementet. 2013, 124 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 642 2 Tid 4. oktober 2013 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium A1-01.01 (Festauditoriet), Det Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet, Københavns Universitet, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark.

Disse mekanismer involverer både en øgning af appetitten, samt et fald i energiforbruget. Et sådan kompensatorisk respons modvirker vægttab og prædisponerer individer til at tage den tabte vægt på igen. At fedmekirurgi, og specifikt gastric bypass (GBP), kan forhindre dette respons kan være en af forklaringerne på hvorfor denne intervention på nuværende tidspunkt er den eneste effektive behandling mod svær fedme. Det er dog uklart hvordan energiforbruget påvirkes af GBP uafhængigt af den akutte negative energibalance, der uundgåeligt følger med denne operation. GBP er desuden påvist at kunne medføre en lang række hormonelle ændringer, men hvordan disse kan forklare ændringer i appetit, energiindtag og energiforbrug er uafklaret. Denne afhandling har til formål at undersøge, om GBP kan forhindre et vægttabs-medieret fald i energiforbruget, og om ændringer i niveauer af hormonerne PYY, leptin, FGF19 og galdesyrer kan forklare potentielle effekter. Dette blev undersøgt i et klinisk studie hvor forsøgspersoner blev randomiseret til enten GBP eller til en såkaldt par-fodret kontrolgruppe, samt ved en kritisk gennemgang af den eksisterende litteratur. I samme studie blev det undersøgt, hvordan PYY, GLP-1, CCK, leptin og ghrelin bidrager til de postoperative ændringer i appetitfølelse. Hvorvidt GLP-1 og PYY udøver deres effekter på appetit og fødeindtag gennem overlappende, additive og/eller synergiske effekter blev undersøgt i et randomiseret, dobbeltblindet, placebokontrolleret overkrydsningsstudie med fire arme, hvor forsøgspersoner modtog enten mono- eller co-infusioner af GLP-1 og PYY. Hverken de kliniske studier eller den eksisterende litteratur kunne levere evidens for at en stigning i energiforbruget bidrager til det postoperative vægttab. Derimod var reduktionen i basalstofskiftet og i det totale energiforbrug efter GBP større end i kontrolgruppen. Det yderligere fald i energiforbruget hos GBP-opererede kunne forklares ved et fald i leptin. Til trods for et markant øget postprandialt respons af PYY, galdesyrer og FGF-19 sås der ingen effekter på den måltidsinducerede thermogenese. Hvorvidt GBP har effekter på energiforbruget ved energibalance vides ikke, og særligt den måltidsinducerede thermogenese vil være interessant at undersøge i fremtidige studier. Til trods for et intensivt vægttab var motivationen til at spise reduceret efter GBP. Dette kunne delvist forklares ved en postprandial stigning i GLP-1, en undertrykkelse af ghrelin, en stigning i kvalme og i mindre grad af en stigning i PYY. Derimod kunne leptin og CCK ikke forklare ændringer i appetit. Ved co-infusion af GLP-1 og PYY var reduktionen i energiindtaget større end summen af effekterne ved mono-infusion af GLP-1 og PYY. Dette tyder på en synergistisk virkning, hvilket ikke tidligere er blevet påvist i humane studier. Det konkluderes, at det er usandsynligt at det postoperative vægttab er medieret af en stigning i energiforbruget. Snarere er nedsat appetit en plausibel forklaring for vægttab efter GBP og synes delvist medieret af GLP-1, PYY og ghrelin, samt ved komplekse interaktioner mellem disse. 2013, 145 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 634 7 Tid 12. september 2013 kl. 11.00 Sted Auditorium A1-01.01, Bülowsvej 17, 1870 Frederiksberg.

Nærværende afhandling giver indsigt i interaktioner mellem karudvidende substanser, der er vigtige for funktionen af blodårerne og regulering af blodgennemstrømning til aktiv skeletmuskulatur i esssentiel hypertension (forhøjet blodtryk) og med aldring og identificerer mekanismer, der ligger bag effekten af fysisk aktivitet på funktionen af blodårerne. Konklusion De karudvidende stoffer ATP og adenosin stimulerer dannelsen af nitrogenoxid og prostanoid systemerne i skeletmuskulatur. Disse interaktioner mellem disse systemer kan være medvirkende til at forklare den centrale rolle som nitrogenoxid og prostanoider spiller i reguleringen af blodgennemstrømning til skeletmuskulatur. Blodgennemstrømningen til det arbejdende ben var reduceret i personer med forhøjet blodtryk og ældre individer. Den potentielle forskel i hvilke systemer, der ligger bag denne reduktion i blodgennemstrømning i de to grupper er i overensstemmelse med, at mere end ét system er essentielt for den præcise regulering af blodgennemstrømning til aktive muskler. Dette indikerer, at enhver tilstand, der er associeret med en reduceret ilttilførsel, skal undersøges uafhængigt. Fysisk aktivitet kan begrænse eller helt modvirke effekten af forhøjet blodtryk og aldring på funktionen af blodårerne og blodgennemstrømningen til aktive muskler. 2013, 99 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 610 1 Tid 8. juli 2013 kl. 14.00 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København.

Abstract Most of white and brown adipocytes, in spite of their well known different functions: i.e. storing energy (white) and thermogenesis (brown), are contained together in visceral and subcutaneous depots (adipose organ) in all mammals including humans (S Cinti The Adipose Organ, Kurtis Milan 1999, A Frontini et al Cell Metab 2010). A growing body of evidence suggests that the reason for this anatomical mixture could reside in the fact that adipocytes have peculiar plastic properties allowing them to convert directly each other under appropriate stimuli (S Cinti Am J Physiol EM 2009). Under chronic cold exposure white convert into brown to support the need for thermogenesis and under obesogenic diet brown convert into white to satisfy the need of energy storing. Adipocyte population in the mammary gland offers another striking example of adipocyte plasticity: during pregnancy and lactation adipocytes transdifferentiate into milk-producing epithelial cells (we propose to call them: pink adipocytes) and vice versa in the post-lactation period (Morroni M et al PNAS 2004, DeMatteis R et al Stem Cells 2009). The white into brown transdifferentiation is of great medical interest because the brown phenotype of the adipose organ is associated with obesity resistance and drugs inducing the brown phenotype curb obesity and related disorders. Type 2 diabetes is the most common disorder associated to visceral obesity. Macrophages infiltrating the adipose organ are thought to be responsible for the low-grade chronic inflammation dealing to insulin resistance and T2 diabetes. Macrophages form characteristic histopathologic figures we called: crown like structures (CLS) due to the need of removal debris deriving from the death of adipocytes . Death of adipocytes is tightly related to their hypertrophy up to the critical death size (Cinti S et J Lip Res 2005). We recently showed that most hypertrophic adipocytes of genetically obese mice have ultrastructural features consistent with a stressed state. Some hypertrophic adipocytes show also degenerative signs before CLS formation. Visceral adipocytes are more stressed than subcutaneous adipocytes and have a critical death size smaller than subcutaneous adipocytes, thus offering an explaination for the higher inflammation and morbidity of visceral fat (Murano et al J Lip Res 2008).

Daglig træning er for mange mennesker, over hele verden, med til at give deres liv mening. For børn er fysisk aktivitet en sjov og indbygget del af deres daglige liv, for teenagerne en vigtig måde at lære om og håndtere deres sociale relationer på og for den elite trænede voksne en afgørende faktor i deres jagt på succes. Uanset om formålet med den fysiske aktivitet er sundhed eller præstation er intensiteten og træthed af afgørende betydning, i forhold til at få udbytte af den. For at forstå dette nærmere, er det i høj grad nødvendigt at kunne teste og forstå skoleelevers, teenageres og professionelle elitefodboldspilleres fysiske form, hvorfor denne ph.d. afhandling også kigger nærmere på at designe og undersøge brugbare tests. Denne ph.d. afhandling bygger på syv videnskabelige artikler og fokuserer således på det fysiologiske respons til en lang række forskellige fysiske aktiviteter, fra de 6-årige skoleelever der deltager i en række forskellige idrætsgrene, via de 18 årige kvindelige fodboldspillere på breddeniveau, til elitefodboldspillerne der skal præstere på højeste niveau, og undersøges ved hjælp af gentagne muskel og blodprøver. Studie 1 undersøgte pålideligheden og validiteten af to intervalløbetests, Yo-Yo Interval Restitutions testen niveau 1 (YYIR1c) og Andersen testen, samt deres evne til at estimere VO2max for børn under 10 år. I studie 2 undersøgtes der hvorvidt YYIR1c og Andersen testen kan udløse den maksimale puls (HRmax), samt disse tests evne til at detektere forskelle i fysisk form. I studie 3 undersøgtes intensiteten udtrykt ved pulsen til en lang række forskellige former for fysisk aktivitet i folkeskoleidræt. Derudover undersøgtes effekten af en 6-ugers træningsintervention, bestående af 2x30 min fodbold og hockey pr uge. I studie 4, blev det fysiologiske arbejdskrav i kvindefodboldkampe på ungdomsniveau undersøgt ved hjælpe af Time-Motion analyser og pulsmålinger. I studie 5 blev muskelmetabolitter, blod variable og sprintevnen undervejs i Copenhagen Soccer Test (CST) undersøgt og sammenlignet med en turneringskamp på tilsvarende niveau. I studie 6, blev det fysiologiske respons under Copenhagen Soccer Test for women (CSTw) sammenlignet med en turneringskamp på tilsvarende høje niveau. I studie 7 blev reproducerbarheden af både en maximal og en sub-maximal version af Yo-Yo Interval Udholdenhed niveau 2 testen (YYIE2), samt sammenhængen mellem YYIE2 og kamp undersøgt. 2013, 138 sider, ISBN 978 87 9177 155 2 Tid 10. juni 2013 kl. 14.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N.

Abstract The regulation of muscle glucose uptake has traditionally been defined by the rate-limiting step paradigm, where membrane glucose transport is the sole determinant of control. Research from our laboratory in murine models, as well as the contributions of other laboratories have shown that muscle glucose uptake is more accurately defined by distributed control. Glucose flux into muscle is controlled by delivery of glucose to muscle, muscle membrane glucose transport, and phosphorylation of glucose within muscle. The implication of distributed control is that muscle insulin resistance may occur due to dysfunction at multiple sites. Recent work from our laboratory has combined pharmacological tools with genetic mouse models to demonstrate that insulin resistance due to high fat feeding is largely a consequence of remodeling of the muscle extracellular matrix and the abundance of capillaries. Further we show that targeting extracellular matrix components, collagen receptor signaling, or muscle blood flow and capillary abundance improves insulin action in the diet-induced insulin resistant mouse. Defects in the extracellular matrix may represent a common pathogenic link between the vascular, fibrotic, and metabolic co-aggregates of obesity.

Janette is a leading authority on applied health behaviour change in Australia and Canada and has authored two text books on this subject. Janette works with a wide variety of corporate and public health organisations to develop health coaching programs and train practitioners. This presentation outlines the not-negotiable aspects of providing behaviour change assistance in coaching interventions and in clinical health practice. The focus is on working with a whole person as they progress through the various processes of the behaviour change pathway. The approach is based on a multi-theoretical practice model that is flexible enough to help coaches and health service providers to exercise their unique theoretical and practical skill sets, yet systematic enough to allow them to know which theory or model to draw from at any particular point in time in a consultation. It also provides measurement and program evaluation at the process level and methodological consistency across practitioners. For health service providers, it provides a way of balancing professional duty of care with the client’s right to make fully-informed decisions, taking their personal needs into account. Applications using this approach from health organisations in Australia and Canada are discussed to illustrate the use of the model in practice.

Udviklingen af insulinresistens er påvirket af en række faktorer bl.a køn og indtagelse af fedt i kosten. Formålet med denne afhandling var at undersøge hvorvidt insulinfølsomhed var forskellig hos kvinder sammenlignet med mænd og hvorvidt en fedtbelastning påvirkede insulinfølsomhed i samme grad hos kvinder og mænd, at bestemme hvorvidt fedtinduceret nedsat insulinfølsomhed skyldtes energioverskud eller fedtsyre-kvalitet og/eller kædelængde, at undersøge molekylære mekanismer, der ligger til grund for fedtinduceret insulinresistens. Data fra forsøg der ligger til grund for denne afhandling viste at insulinfølsomhed i skeletmuskler var højere hos kvinder end hos mænd. Ved en øget fedtbelastning (intralipid infusion) reduceredes insulinfølsomheden mere hos mænd (38%) end hos kvinder (26%, p<0,05) sammenlignet med kontrolsituationen, hvilket viser at kvinder var mindre tilbøjelige til at opnå insulinresistens ved øget fedtbelastning. Efter indtagelse af en hyperkalorisk fedtrig kost (80 E% fedt) bestående af umættede fedtsyrer i 3 dage reduceredes helkropsinsulinfølsomhed (20%) og insulinstimuleret glukoseoptagelse i skeletmuskler (28%) sammenlignet med en isokalorisk kontrol kost i raske mænd. Efter indtagelse af en fedtrig kost bestående overvejende af lang-kædede mættede fedtsyrer reduceredes helkropsinsulinfølsomhed (19%) og insulinstimuleret glukoseoptagelse i skeletmuskler (24%), hvorimod ingen ændringer blev observeret efter en kost bestående af mellemkædede mættede fedtsyrer eller kulhydrater (80 E%). Disse resultater viser, at nedsat insulinfølsomhed ikke skyldes energioverskud, men derimod typen og kædelængden af fedtsyrer i kosten. Den fedtinducerede reduktion i insulinfølsomhed i skeletmuskler blev observeret uden ændring i den proximale insulin signaleringskaskade. Derimod synes nedsat insulinfølsomhed i skeletmuskler at kunne tilskrives en mindre insulinstimuleret GLUT4 translokation til plasmamembranen efter den umættede (23%) og den langkædede mættede fedtsyre kost (26%) sammenlignet med kontrolkosten (52%)(undersøgt i rotter). Endvidere tyder data på, at mekanismer, der regulerer GLUT4 translokation til plasmamembranen og insulinstimuleret glukoseoptagelse i skeletmuskler, er fedtsyre type afhængig. 2013, 147 sider, ISBN 978 87 7611 573 7 Tid 22. maj 2013 kl. 14.00 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København.

Kapillær tilvækst i skelet muskel er en kompliceret proces der kræver koordinering af mange forskellige faktorer for at sikre tilstrækkelig vaskulær funktion. Kapillærtilvækst initieres af ændringer i mekaniske og/eller metabolske faktorer under arbejde og når stimuleringen gentages kan der ske en tilvækst af kapillærer hvis nødvendigt. Et øget antal kapillærer er af gavn for musklen da det forbedrer muligheden for optagelse af ilt og næringsstoffer som musklerne skal bruge for at danne energi. Vaskulær endotel vækst faktor (VEGF) er den mest centrale factor i arbejds-induceret kapillær tilvækst. Denne afhandling baseres på 6 videnskabelige artikler hvori reguleringen af kapillær tilvækst i skelet muskel er belyst ved undersøgelse af hvordan forskellige træningsformer og åreforkalkning påvirker positive og negative angiogene faktorer. I artikel I, III og IV undersøges hvordan forskellige træningsformer påvirker sekretionen af VEGF til intersitiet, kapillærtætheden samt balancen mellem positive og negative angiogene faktorer i skelet muskler i unge raske personer. I artikel II undersøges det i skelet muskel celle kultur hvorvidt den arbejds-induceret stigning i sekretionen af VEGF er medieret via adenosin og dets receptorer. I artikel V undersøges lokaliseringen af VEGF i skelet muskel ved brug af konfokal og transmission elektron mikroskopi. Ydermere søges det belyst hvordan sekretionen af VEGF fra muskel celler til interstitiet under arbejde er reguleret.

Abstract It is well established that combinations of genetic and environmental factors affect the susceptibility for type 2 diabetes. While ageing, obesity and physical inactivity represent non-genetic risk factors, genome-wide association studies have identified approximately 60 polymorphisms that influence type 2 diabetes. However, epigenetic modifications may also promote the disease. Indeed, studies from our group suggest that epigenetic modifications are involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. We have also shown that environmental factors, including exercise and diet, may affect the epigenetic pattern in human muscle and fat. Moreover, we recently demonstrated that polymorphisms associated with type 2 diabetes directly modify the epigenetic pattern in humans. Together, we propose a model where combinations of genetic, epigenetic and non-genetic factors contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract “Omics” technologies represent promising novel tools for studying disease mechanisms, individual patient risk assessment, diagnostics, prognostics, prevention and treatment guidelines. However, “proof of principle” of the concept of using genomics and proteomics to predict the phenotype and clinical outcome in a reliable manner is still lacking. Metabolomics allows mapping of a significant number of intermediary metabolites of glucose, fat and protein metabolism in human blood, urine and tissue samples, and may become instrumental to bridge the gap between genotype and clinical outcome. Besides using metabolomics as a screening tool to detect static concentration levels functional metabolomics also referred to as fluxomics is using metabolite tracers to determine the in vivo rate of production and utilization of metabolites. The method for quantitative human metabolite profiling and in vivo metabolic flux measurements is with mass-spectrometry (MS) or MS in combination with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). In case of fluxomics the so-called tracer dilution and/or incorporation methodology will be used. In humans, the label (tracer) in the metabolite should be a stable isotope (i.e. 13C, 2H, 15N) that safely and repeatedly can be used. Unfortunately metabolomics, like the other omics, is expensive and analytically challenging. In spite of the expensive analytical machinery the actual limitation is in the use of metabolomics such as sample processing, manual data management, quality control and simply that a detailed quantitative metabolic profile of 1 sample can take from several hours up to a day. Therefore, in view of the required expertise and expenses dedicated analytical metabolomic core facilities are essential as well as training in the proper use of fluxomics in research.

Its application in nutrition has the potential to disclose the underlying patterns in the interface between the nutrients and biological systems to understand the nutrient influence in the assessment of individual’s health and disease status. Two nutritional issues were objects of investigation: 1) metabolic states as a function of time since the last meal (postprandial response) 2) patterns related to trans-fat intake. In order to extract the associated metabolic patterns from LC-MS and NMR plasma profiles, a metabolomics workflow starting with data handling, through identification of relevant metabolites, to interpretation of results in biological terms, has been established. In terms of data handling, several software tools (e.g. MZmine, MarkerLynx and XCMS) for preprocessing LC-MS data has been evaluated. Furthermore, application potential of PCA, PLSDA and sparse PCA as data analysis tools in metabolomics has been discussed. 2013, 176 pages, ISBN 978 87 7611 561 6 Time 26 February 2013, 13:00 Venue Lecture Hall A2-83.01 (3.03), Thorvaldsensvej 40, Ground Floor, 1871 Frederiksberg C.

I afhandlingen sættes fokus på motion-selv forholdet, specielt det fysiske selv i den kliniske population. Forfatteren undersøger forholdet mellem forandringer i psykologiske variable og fysisk fitness i depressive patienter – et interessant og værdifuldt emne og et sjældent undersøgt tema, som fortjener behørig opmærksomhed. Mere specifikt var fokus på at undersøge effekterne af aerobe og anaerobe træningsformer samt afspændingsøvelser på fysisk selvopfattelse og selvværd hos danske patienter med depression. Dette studie var tilrettelagt som en del af et større projekt kaldet DEMO, hvilket var et parallelgruppe, randomiseret superioritets forsøg, udført på Bispebjerg Hospital i Danmark (Krogh et al., 2007). Afhandlingen er baseret på resultater fra tre på hinanden følgende studier. Motion viste sig at påvirke humøret gennem selvværd og dets formodede fysiske kompetencer i et lodret kontinuum af specificitet-generalitet, da path-hypotiseret ved modellerne 3-6 (tid 2 og 3) var signifikante. Denne indflydelse var også evident gennem longitudinelle forløb på model 7, hvorigennem færdighedsudviklingshypotesen blev bekræftet. Self-enhancement hypotese blev også understøttet gennem top-bund model-8 på patienter med depression. Desuden blev mest direkte og indirekte hypotetiske sammenhænge mellem depression, selvværd, PSPs og motionsadfærd fundet at være signifikante, især de faldende effekter fra tid 2 (efter intervention) til tiden 3 var kraftigere. Alle de hypotetiske forhold i de longitudinelle data blev underbygget, og de samlede modeltilpasningsresultater af path-analysen gav stærk empirisk støtte til begge de foreslåede teoretiske modeller (dvs. udvikling af færdigheder og self-enhancement hypotese). Ved at vise stærke direkte associationer med en høj størrelsesorden af koefficienter i PA’s med et teoretisk grundlag, viser dette studie, at der er årsags- og medierende sammenhænge. Som følge af, at dette studie er longitudinelt, og fordi studiet undersøgte mediatorer på forskellige tidspunkter (dvs. kort- og langsigtet tidspunkter), kan således kausale følgeslutninger foretages. Disse resultater udvider de tidligere etablerede teorier og modeller relateret til globalt selvværd for patienter med klinisk depression. 2013, 202 sider, 100,- kr., ISBN 978 87 9177 152 1 Tid 22. januar 2013 kl. 10.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt og Ernæring, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Associate Professor Anne-Marie Elbe (chair), Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

An Explorative Study of Body Investment Practices";"An Explorative Study of Body Investment Practices Nicole Thualagant Ph.d. afhandling Hvorledes investerer brugerne af foreningsbaserede fitnesscentre i deres kroppe og hvilke midler er brugerne villige til at anvende for at forbedre deres kropslig udseende samt kroppens sundhed? Disse spørgsmål samt andre relaterede spørgsmål diskuteres i afhandlingen ”Fitness Doping and Body Management. An Explorative Study in Body Investment Practices.” Jeg belyser i denne afhandling manglen på en nuanceret forståelse af kropsarbejde i forhold til implementeringen af en anti-doping politik i en fitness kontekst. Som udfoldet i en af afhandlingens artikler, er den aktuelle anti-doping politik problematisk grundet det snævre fokus på anabolske steroider og andre muskel fremhævende midler. Andre sundhedsskadelige praksisser ignoreres ganske simpelt. Kropsarbejde indbefatter forskellige kropsprojekter og derfor også forskellige forbrug af kropsforbedrende midler. To kropsorienteringer undersøges mere specifikt i denne afhandling; et arbejde på kroppen samt et arbejde med kroppen, to forskellige typer kropsarbejde som indbefatter forskellige tilgange til kroppen samt forskellige brug af kropsforbedrende midler. Mere om afhandlingen At doping er bandlyst i en elitesports kontekst kan næppe overraske, selv for dem uden interesse i sport. Hvad færre ved, er at doping også er ulovligt i en fitness kontekst i visse lande, såsom Danmark. Danmark har som et blandt få lande, udviklet en anti-dopingpolitik som skal sikre en dopingfri idræt. Det statslige fokus har i særdeleshed været rettet mod anabolske steroider og hermed også mod nogle mænds bestræbelser på at opnå større muskler. Ph.d. afhandlingen er baseret på et sociologisk studie af fitness-doping. Dette udfoldes i tre artikler med forskellige formål. I den første artikel undersøges begrebet doping i en fitness kontekst. I artiklen analyseres begrebets begrænsninger ud fra en sociologisk forståelse af doping. Der redegøres for at den aktuelle definition af doping ikke muliggør en forståelse af begge køns’ arbejde med/på kroppen, det vil sige både mænd og kvinders kropsprojekter. Endvidere understreges manglen på inddragelsen af en social og en kulturel kontekst i eksisterende epidemiologiske studier af forekomsten af doping i en fitness kontekst. Den første artikel skal derfor anskues som en opfordring til også at betragte doping som et middel til social integration i et samfund, hvor fokus diskursivt rettes mod kroppens kapacitet til at kunne yde. I anden artikel udfoldes de problemstillinger, som opstår i implementeringen af anti-dopingpolitikken i en dansk fitness kontekst. Anti-doping politikken blev oprindeligt udviklet i en elitesport kontekst, og er derfor udviklet ud fra andre logikker end de dominerende logikker i en foreningsfitness kontekst. I artiklen diskuteres således, hvorvidt denne politik imødekommer foreningsidrættens formål om at fremme fællesskab, udfordring og sundhed. Tredje artikel i afhandlingen fokuserer på brugerne af foreningsbaserede fitnesscentre, og deres forhold til krop, motion og doping. Ud fra data fra en spørgeskemaundersøgelse foretaget i ti forskellige foreningsbaserede fitnesscentre, samt data indsamlet via semi-strukturerede interviews illustreres de forskellige målsætninger, fitnessudøvere har med deres træning. Her beskrives to forskellige måder, hvorpå mænd og kvinder investerer i deres kroppe gennem deres træning i fitnesscentre. Disse kropsinvesteringer baseres på to forskellige projekter: et arbejde på kroppen og et arbejde med kroppen. Kropsprojekter som indbefatter forskellige strategier. Denne beskrivelse af kropsinvesteringer og kropsprojekter understøtter pointen udfoldet i denne afhandlings første artikel om at den aktuelle definition på doping, og hermed også at anti-doping politikken er snæver, og at en bredere perspektivering på kropsarbejde generelt vil kunne belyse doping som er socialt fænomen. 2013, 186 sider, 100,- kr.

Abstract We focus on the powerful effects on physical activity and exercise. With sufficient molecular understanding, we believe that we could harness the effects of exercise on the organism for future therapies against metabolic diseases. We have identified a novel hormone, which we named Irisin (Bostrom et al, Nature 2012). Irisin is a highly conserved polypeptide, regulated by PGC1a, secreted from muscle to plasma after exercise and promotes the formation of brown fat via an unknown receptor. Currently, my lab focuses on the identification of the Irisin receptor, but also on other, novel exercise-factors and their impact on whole-body energy metabolism. In particular, we have zoomed in on “Irisin2” – a close homolog to Irisin, where our preliminary data suggest an important effect in hepatocytes and immune cells. We have also developed a transcriptional map of all exercise-induced changes in metabolically active organs. This will be useful for screening new exercise-factors for biological effects. Although we primarily work in primary cell cultures and with biochemical methods, we also conduct many of our experiments in physiologically relevant mouse models using FC-fusion proteins and transgenic mice. For clinical relevance, all novel factors are tested in well characterized human cohorts of exercise and type II diabetes. Our long term goal is to develop a novel therapeutic based on the biology evoked with physical activity and exercise.

Gunnarsson Ph.d. afhandling MUSKELTRÆTHED – hvad skyldes muskeltræthed under arbejde? Udvikling af muskulær træthed er blevet undersøgt i mere end 100 år. Til dato ved vi, at der ligger forskellige træthedsmekanismer bag udviklingen af træthed under arbejde ved forskellige arbejdsintensiteter. Under høj-intenst arbejde, af 3-10 min varighed, er stigning i ekstracellulær K+ blevet foreslået som en mulig træthedsmekanisme, gennem nedsat muskel eksitabilitet, ledende til muskulær træthed. Efter en periode med høj-intens træning ses en øget evne til at udføre gentaget høj-intenst arbejde hvilket kan skyldes en øget kapacitet for vedligeholdelse af K+ balancen over muskelmembranen som følge af en stigning i den maksimale Na+/K+ pumpe kapacitet. Denne afhandling baseres på 4 videnskabelige artikler baseret på 4 studier gennemført med trænede løbere, cykelryttere og fodboldspillere. I artikel I-III undersøges om en periode med høj-intens træning medfører forbedret gentaget kort-tids og lang-tids præstationsevne, og om disse forbedringer kan relateres til forandringer i muskel ion transport proteiner af vigtighed for ion homeostasen under arbejde, med specielt fokus på K+ håndtering i artikel III.

Abstract In 2007, tardigrades became the first animal ever managing to survive under near ""open space"" conditions. Exposed to space vacuum, cosmic radiation, and massive ultraviolet radiation, some animals of this enigmatic taxon survived a 10-day journey at low Earth orbit. Despite attempts to reveal the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that allow tardigrades to survive in a completely dry state, and to revive after massive exposure to radiation, we are still far from understanding how these animals achieve their tolerance to biological border states. The presentation will give details on the space exposure experiment, and summarise our current knowledge on desiccation and radiation tolerance in tardigrades.

Abstract Chronic overnutrition and physical inactivity are major risk factors for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Recent research indicates that overnutrition generates an increase in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) emission from mitochondria, serving as a release valve to relieve the reducing pressure created by fuel overload. H2O2 is a major input to cellular redox circuits that link to cysteine residues throughout the entire proteome to regulate cell function. New data will be presented on the interplay between the PDH Complex and regulation of the cellular redox environment. Finally, new insight will be offered as to how H2O2 emission may be linked via redox biology to the etiology of insulin resistance.

På den anden side har fysisk aktivitet vist sig, at virke både forebyggende og fordelagtigt i behandling af sygdommen. Flere studier har også vist, at en nedsat vækst hos fosteret under graviditeten, resulterende i en lav fødselsvægt, også øger risikoen for at udvikle sygdommen når man når voksen alder. Protein komplekset AMP aktiveret protein kinase, AMPK, spiller trolig en central rolle i musklers metabolisme og adaptationer i forbindelse med ændringer i livsstil og kan derfor også være en vigtig faktor i udvikling af Type 2 Diabetes. Formålet med dette projekt har derfor været, at undersøge om der er en sammenhæng imellem en lav fødselsvægt og funktionen af AMPK i muskler. Afhandlingen undersøger også om interventioner, der på forskellig vis manipulerer med graden af fysisk aktivitet påvirker AMPK og dets funktioner på forskelligt vis hos personer født med en lav fødselsvægt og kontrolgrupper af personer født med en normal fødselsvægt. Afhandlingens data antyder, at tilstedeværelsen samt aktiviteten af AMPK i hvilende muskler er uafhængig af fødselsvægt. Dog fandt vi, at hormonet insulins påvirkning i muskler er kompromitteret i personer født med en lav fødselsvægt sammenlignet med kontrolgruppen efter 9 dages sengeleje, dog er det uafklaret hvorvidt dette foregår via mekanismer der involverer AMPK. Vi observerede også, at individer med en lav fødselsvægt har en øget aktivering af AMPK under fysisk aktivitet sammenlignet med kontrolgruppen, hvilket antyder enten et mere følsomt AMPK system eller en kompromitteret evne til at opretholde musklernes energistatus under længerevarende aktivitet hos disse individer. Disse fund kan vise sig at være relevante i forbindelse med fremtidig forebyggelse samt behandling af Type 2 Diabetes i denne befolkningsgruppe. 2012, 120 sider, 100,- kr., ISBN 978 87 917 71 45 3 Tid 5. juli 2012 kl. 13.00 Sted Aud. 1, AK-Bygningen, Institut for Idræt, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø Bedømmelsesudvalg Associate professor Nicolas Caesar Petersen (chair), Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Although there are homologs for over 70% of human genes in Drosophila, the best disease models are organotypic - that is, when the fly homolog is expressed in the most appropriate tissue for the disease. Our FlyAtlas.org online expression resource allows researchers to identify such candidate gene/tissue pairings. Fly on coin. Photo: Julian Dow Of such tissues, the Malpighian tubule provides an excellent model for renal function and disease; it transports fluid faster (on a per cell basis) than any other transporting epithelium, and its transport and signaling pathways are uniquely well understood. Nephrolithiasis represents a major health burden, costing over $5B/ yr in the US alone. Insect Malpighian tubules in fact express two major classes of stone (phosphate and urate) constitutively, and the rosy mutant exactly recapitulates the renal & metabolic phenotypes of human xanthinuria type I. The most common stones in humans are of calcium oxalate, with a complex etiology including a dietary component, and here we show that dietary oxalate loading rapidly induces stones in Drosophila tubules. Furthermore, stone formation in isolated tubules can be induced in minutes by addition of oxalate, allowing the nucleation event to be monitored in situ for the first time. Septate junctions (red), stellate cells (green), nuclei (blue). Photo: Pablo Cabrero The utility of the model would be increased if specific genes could be associated with stone formation. We have identified prestin, an SLC26A5/6 homolog with strong expression in the gut and tubules, as a key oxalate transporter that mediates stone formation, as dsRNA-mediated knockdown of prestin in just tubule principal cells is sufficient to reduce the rate of stone formation. Given the range of quantitative phenotypic readouts available in this tissue, it is clear that the Malpighian tubule offers an unusually good model for human function and disease.

Tredje generations coaching skal ses som en syntese af eksistentiel-fænomenologisk og narrativ-socialkonstruktionistisk teori og praksis, med den ambition at sætte særlig fokus på værdirefleksion, meningsskabelse og det narrativ-samskabende, hvor coach og coachee til tider befinder sig i en symmetrisk relation til hinanden. Tredje generations coaching kan forstås som slags programerklæring – dog ikke i normativ forstand, men som en invitation til stimulering af læserens faglige udviklingsproces, som bogens forfatter selv befinder sig i og som aldrig ender. Den teoretiske og fagprofessionelle udvikling er en konstant og fortløbende proces.

En undersøgelse af fysisk aktivitet og idræt brugt som forebyggelse og sundhedsfremme i to udvalgte kommuner";"En undersøgelse af fysisk aktivitet og idræt brugt som forebyggelse og sundhedsfremme i to udvalgte kommuner Charlotte Østergaard Ph.d. afhandling Eksisterer der i Danmark et særligt idrætsfelt? Kan man sige at idrætten rummer en egen historie, en egen logik og er bygget op omkring nogle kapitalformer som er særegne for idrætten? Gennem en historisk analyse af idrætsfeltet fra dets opkomst til i dag viser jeg, hvordan idrætsfeltet er opbygget omkring to kapitalformer, en idrætskapital og foreningskapital. Kapitalformer, der er skabt, i kraft af at foreningsidrætten og idrætsorganisationerne har haft magt til at sætte dagsordnen i feltet. Jeg viser, hvordan de to idrætsspecifikke kapitalformer ikke bare har værdi i feltet, men også har høj symbolsk værdi udenfor feltet. Undersøgelsen af idrætsfeltet viser dog, at der er tegn på forandring. Nye spillere som eksempelvis de private fitnesscentre er på vej til at opnå magt og indflydelse på forhold, der omhandler idræt, men der er også forandringer i den organiserede idræt, hvor både værdigrundlag og strukturering er under forandring. På trods af disse forandringer viser jeg gennem en analyse af dokumenter fra regering og kommuner, at den organiserede idræt fra politisk side stadig har høj symbolsk kapital og derfor bliver anset for den ideelle samarbejdspartner i forhold til at skabe mere velfærd. I de seneste år har der været en stigende politisk interesse for at anvende idræt som middel til opnåelsen af politiske mål, herunder at koble idrætten til særligt de velfærdspolitiske mål. Specielt i forbindelse med Strukturreformen fra 2007, hvor kommunerne overtog området for forebyggelse og sundhedsfremme, er der blever sat mange projekter og initiativer i gang i kommunerne, hvor idrætten er inviteret til at samarbejde om løsningen af det stigende problem med fysisk inaktivitet. Hvad disse projekter indeholder og hvordan der samarbejdes er undersøgt gennem casestudier af fire udvalgte kommunale forebyggelsesprojekter rettet mod fysisk inaktive børn og voksne i to udvalgte kommuner. Fra politisk side anses foreningsidrætten således som den ideelle samarbejdspartner for kommunerne. Men er foreningsidrætten i alle tilfælde den rette samarbejdspartner, når det gælder om eksempelvis at forebygge fysisk inaktivitet? Ved hjælp af den indsamlede empiri i casestudierne, der består af observationer og kvalitative interviews viser jeg i mine analyser, hvordan der i projekterne er indbygget forskellige barrierer for projekternes målgruppe, der hovedsagligt består af socialt udsatte børn og voksne. Eksempelvis viser jeg, hvordan målgruppen af voksne borgere mangler kapitaler og kompetencer, blandt andet det jeg i afhandlingen kalder konnektionskompetence, til overhovedet at blive koblet på de kommunale projekter. De socialt udsatte voksne borgere mangler ligeledes de nævnte idræts- og foreningskapitaler, hvilket vanskeliggør overgangen fra projektet til idrætsforeningen. I analysen kommer jeg frem til den konklusion, at det at agere i foreningsidrætten kræver nogle særlige forudsætninger. Forudsætninger som ikke alle borgere er udrustet med, hvorfor jeg i afhandlingen forsøger at identificere og udfolde andre arenaer for idrætsudfoldelse. Det teoretiske og metodiske fundament for undersøgelsen er den franske sociolog Pierre Bourdieus sociologi og metodologi. Ved hjælp af casestudierne undersøger jeg, hvorvidt Bourdieus sociologi er dækkende for et nutidigt dansk studie af idræt og velfærdspolitik. På baggrund af denne analyse introduceres i afhandlingen begreber og teorier fra andre teoretikere, blandt andet den danske filosof Anders Fogh Jensens teori om projektsamfundet.

Brown adipose tissue was classical a tissue with scientifically interesting bioenergetic features, manifest by the unique presence of uncoupling protein-1 in only this tissue – but it was considered to have no metabolic significance for adult humans. The acceptance within the last years of its presence in adult humans has intensified interest in its potential ability not only to keep us warm but particularly to burn excess energy, i.e. to keep us slim, and – through its utilization of lipids and glucose – to counteract the metabolic syndrome. The analysis of its function and significance in experimental animals can now likely be extrapolated to humans. The principal conclusion is that brown adipose tissue is the sole organ responsible for classical nonshivering thermogenesis as well as for diet-induced thermogenesis, and that no other mechanisms for adaptive thermogenesis exists. The extrapolation is evidently that its activity potentially could be exploited to promote human health.

Dels er de underliggende årsager til en observeret kønsforskel i skeletmuskelens metabolisme forsøgt klarlagt og dels er reguleringen af enzymet Lipoprotein Lipase i forbindelse med muskelarbejde undersøgt. Forståelsen af, hvordan stofskiftet reguleres i det raske individ er, på trods af omfattende forskning, langt fra komplet. Skeletmuskulaturen udgør 30-40% af kroppens samlede masse og spiller en stor rolle i homeostasen på helkropsniveau. I denne afhandling undersøges reguleringen af lipid metabolismen i skeletmuskulaturen ved hjælp af forskellige forskningsmodeller. Det er velkendt, at der findes kønsforskelle i skelet-muskulaturen, både på det morfologiske og metaboliske niveau, men de underliggende årsager til disse kønsforskelle er stadig uklare. For at undersøge, om forskellen skyldes en kønsforskel iboende i muskelcellen, blev humane muskel cellekulturer etableret ud fra vastus lateralis biopsier fra omhyggeligt matchede mandlige og kvindelige donorer. Triacylglycerol (TG) transporteres i blodet bundet til chylomikroner og VLDL. Herfra leveres TG til de perifere væv, til enten lagring eller oxidation. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) er det hastigheds-begrænsende enzym for hydrolysen af TG og repræsenterer derfor en vigtig regulator af levering af fedtsyrer til bl.a. muskelcellerne. Energikravet stiger flerfold i skeletmuskulaturen i forbindelse med arbejde. I nærværende afhandling blev akut arbejde i gnavere brugt til at inducere en stigning i mLPL aktiviteten, for yderligere at kunne belyse de mulige reguleringsmekanismer. Særligt fokus var på betydningen af nedsat glykogenindhold og aktivering af AMPK for reguleringen af LPL aktivitet i skeletmuskelen i respons til arbejde. 2012, 134 sider, 100,- kr., ISBN 978 87 917 71 44 6 Tid Torsdag den 3. maj 2012 kl. 13.00 Sted Aud. 1, AK-Bygningen, Institut for Idræt, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Ylva Hellsten (chair), Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Programme The Danish scientist professor August Krogh was awarded the Noble Prize in Physio­logy/Medicine in 1920 and is recognized worldwide for his comparative studies of physiology in animals and humans. His scientific work and ingenious methods has defined him as one of the most significant physiologists of the 20 th century and one of the greatest Danish scientists of all time. In recognition of the significant scientific influence by August Krogh, we have the great pleasure of opening the August Krogh Centre, as a platform to increase visibi­li­ty and strengthen impact of Danish research contributions in the field of Metabolism and Molecular Physiology. This initiative is in collaboration between leading scientists from the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, Department of Biology and The Natural History Museum of Denmark. As professor August Krogh, we believe that interdisciplinary research and a dedication toward sharing research findings are critical to ultimately advance science. To facilitate this, the August Krogh Centre is a forum for activities such as research core facilities, symposia, seminars and PhD courses. All of this and much more will be revealed in detail at the official centre opening. Organized by Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences Department of Biology Natural History Museum of Denmark "

Metformin forbedrer insulinresistens hos disse patienter. Metformin mindsker forhøjet blodsukker ved at reducere leverens glukosefrigivelse og stimulere glukoseoptagelsen i perifere væv. Den molekylære mekanisme(-r), der ligger til for grund metformins effekter, er ikke fuldt afdækket, men aktivering af enzymet 5´AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) har været rapporteret i blandt andet fedtvæv og skeletmuskler. Fokus i dette PhD projekt har været undersøgelse af reguleringen af AMPK aktiviteten i forbindelse med metformin behandling, samt AMPKs rolle i relation til effekten af metforminbehandling på glukoseoptagelse og mitokondriefunktion. Formålene i projektet har været at undersøge den akutte effekt af in vivo metformin behandling, i forhold til AMPK aktivering og signalering i human skeletmuskulatur og fedtvæv i hhv. hviletilstand samt under fysisk aktivitet. Derudover undersøgelse af kausale sammenhænge mellem AMPK og effekten af in vivo metformin behandling på glukoseoptagelse og den mitokondrielle funktion i skeletmuskulatur fra mus. Dette er blevet undersøgt i 3 studier beskrevet i manuskript I-III, som er vedlagt denne afhandling. Vi fandt, at hverken akut eller kortvarig metforminbehandling aktiverede AMPK eller forøgede den arbejdsinducerede AMPK aktivering i human skeletmuskulatur og fedtvæv hos raske personer. Derudover har vi vist, at kronisk metforminbehandling inducerer en AMPK afhængig forøgelse af den insulinstimulerede glukoseoptagelse i skeletmuskulatur hos mus. Endelig fandt vi at kronisk metforminbehandling ikke påvirker den mitokondrielle funktion i skeletmuskler fra normale mus men i muskler fra mus med nedsat AMPK funktion. 2012, 210 sider, 100,- kr., ISBN 978 87 917 71 42 2.

En analyse af cykelrytteres livspraksis";"En analyse af cykelrytteres livspraksis Kristian Rasmussen Ph.d. afhandling Typisk ser man sport som et barn af det moderne samfund. Cykelsporten er i den henseende eksemplarisk, idet den fødes med opfindelsen af en maskine, mens rytteren har en mekanisk kropsopfattelse og gerne gør brug af diverse hjælpemidler. Modernitetsbilledet er imidlertid ikke en fyldestgørende forklaringsramme, hvis man vil forstå cykelrytterens særegne livspraksis. I stedet drager afhandlingen en række paralleller til kristen askese. For såvel den kristne asket som cykelrytteren gælder en passioneret livsindstilling, hvor selvkontrol, dedikation og selvdisciplin går hånd i hånd med håndhævelsen af en konsekvent metodisk og systematisk livspraksis, hvis mekaniske præg former krop og sind. Set i det lys fremstår cykelrytternes mekaniske kropsopfattelse som andet og mere end et sind- og kropsbillede på det moderne samfund. Afhandlingen baserer sig på kvalitative interview med 42 cykelryttere og fokuserer på centrale livsområder såsom forholdet til koner og kærester, uddannelse, kost, træning, selvdisciplin, vægtpineri, afsavn, ekstremer, konkurrence og smerte. 2012, 449 sider, 100,- kr., ISBN: 978 87 917 71 40 8 Tid Mandag den 20. februar 2012 kl. 14.00 Sted AB2, AB-bygningen, Institut for Idræt, Nørre Allé 55, 2200 København N (Pga. af begrænsede antal tilhørerpladser tildeles pladserne efter ”først til mølle”-princippet) Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Gertrud Pfister (formand), Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet.

Viden om især danske børns samlede mængde af fysisk aktivitet og hvad der har betydning for denne er dog begrænset ved enten at være baseret på spørgeskemadata, hvormed der kun opnås valide mål for omfanget af organiseret idrætsdeltagelse, eller kvalitative metoder, hvormed der opnås meget situationsspecifikke indsigter. Denne afhandlings undersøgelser er primært unikke ved at være de første til at anvende accelerometer målinger af danske børns faktisk udførte fysiske aktivitet og dernæst undersøge sociologisk og statistisk, hvad der hænger sammen hermed og kan forklare de givne forskelle. Det primære empiriske grundlag for afhandlingen er empiri indsamlet under ”Ballerup-Taarnby undersøgelsen”, hvor over 500 børns daglige fysiske aktivitet blev accellerometermålt og anden baggrundsinformation om forhold i børnenes hverdagsliv indsamlet, da børnene startede i skole og senere igen, da de gik i 3. klasse. Dette gav en unik mulighed for at undersøge disse børns reelt udførte fysiske aktivitet og hvad der hænger sammen hermed, samt hvordan dette ændrer sig fra børnene starter i Børnehaveklasse til tre år inde i deres skoleliv. Disse analyser af dataene fra Ballerup og Tårnby udbygges med data fra en lignende undersøgelse af New Zealandske børn samt med indsigt indhentet via kvalitative observationer af børns bevægelsesaktiviteter i skolegårde og idrætsforeninger. Det viste sig, at børnene havde langt de højeste aktivitetsniveauer i institutionelle kontekster for selvorganiseret udendørs leg så som i frikvarterer og i fritidshjem samt under skole eller foreningsorganiseret idræt. På trods af lavere deltagelse i foreningsidræt, var børn med etnisk minoritets eller lav socioøkonomisk baggrund ikke mindre fysisk aktive end andre børn, når deres samlede mængde af daglig fysisk aktivitet blev målt direkte af en accellerometer. Dette skyldtes høje aktivitetsniveauer i børnenes daglige kontekster for selvorganiseret udendørs leg i bl.a. skolegårde og fritidshjem. Multiple regressionsmodeller viste, at især forældrenes lavere mængder af erfaring med foreningsidræt og lavere mængder af økonomiske og materielle ressourcer kunne forklare en stor del af den observerede sociale ulighed i deltagelsen i foreningsidræt. Angående betydningen af køn blev der observeret modsatrettede tendenser. Drenge og piger var lige aktive i organiseret idræt, men drenge havde en gennemsnitlig højere mængde af daglig fysisk aktivitet grundet væsentligt højere aktivitetsniveauer i skolefrikvarterer og fritidshjem. Denne forskel kunne delvist forklares med at drenge oftere spillede fodbold, hvilket er en aktivitet, som har gode præmisser i danske skolegårde og fritidshjem. Der viste sig yderligere en positiv sammenhæng mellem antallet af legefaciliteter i børnenes skolegårde og deres omfang af daglig fysisk aktivitet. Denne sammenhæng var uafhængig af køn og socioøkonomisk baggrund. Samlet set konkluderes det på baggrund af projektets resultater, at foreningsidræt indeholder kulturelle og økonomiske krav som gør dem mindre åben for deltagelse af børn med lav socioøkonomisk baggrund, mens børns selvorganiserede fysiske aktiviteter i skoler og fritidshjem indeholder kønnede norm og facilitetsmæssige barrierer for deltagelse. Yderligere påpeges vigtigheden af at sikre et højt antal af forskellige legefaciliteter i børns daglige udeområder for at mindske uligheden mellem drenge og pigers daglige fysiske aktivitet og i det hele taget sikre, at børns forskellige interesser og kompetencer angående selvorganiseret bevægelsesleg tilgodeses. 2011, 271 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN: 978 87 917 7139 2 Tid Mandag den 17. oktober 2011 kl. 14.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Lektor Lone Friis Thing (formand), Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet Professor Ken Green, Department of Sport & Exercise Sciences, University of Chester, United Kingdom Professor Bjørn Holstein, Statens Institut for Folkesundhed, Syddansk Universitet Vejleder Professor Gertrud Pfister, Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet Afhandlingen ligger til gennemsyn på Institut for Idræts bibliotek."

Fysisk aktivitet øger musklernes glukoseoptagelse og kan derved medføre en gavnlig sænkning af blodsukkerniveauet hos mennesker med type 2 diabetes. På trods af denne gavnlige anti-diabetiske virkning er det stadig ikke klarlagt, hvilke mekaniser der ligger bag. Dog har to molekyler tilhørende gruppen af såkaldte proteinkinaser gjort sig særlig bemærket. Disse to kinaser er AMP-aktiveret proteinkinase (AMPK) og dennes opstrømskinase, LKB1. Denne ph.d. afhandling har til formål at undersøge, hvilken rolle AMPK og LKB1 spiller under muskelkontraktioner og fysiologisk muskelarbejde. Dette undersøges ved at anvende tre forskellige transgene musemodeller som svækker AMPK og LKB1 signaleringen i muskler. Det vigtigste fund i denne PhD afhandling er, at partiel mangel på AMPK såvel som mangel på LKB1 i muskler ikke medfører nedsat glukoseoptagelse under fysiologisk muskelarbejde hos mus. En næsten total mangel på AMPK aktivitet medfører til gengæld en nedsat glukoseoptagelse i musemuskler, både under fysiologisk muskelarbejde og under elektrisk stimulering af muskler. Hvad angår AMPK og LKB1s rolle i glukoseoptagelse, så viser studierne yderligere, at resultater opnået i elektrisk stimulerede musemuskler versus resultater opnået under fysiologisk muskelarbejde i mus ikke partout stemmer overens. Dette leder til den konklusion, at resultater opnået under elektrisk stimulering af isolerede muskler ikke nødvendigvis er repræsentative for forholdene under fysiologisk muskelarbejde. 2011, 155 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN: 978 87 917 7136 1 Tid Fredag den 1. juli 2011 kl. 14.00 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Institut for Idræt, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Ylva Hellsten (formand), Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet Professor Jørgen Jensen, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Oslo, Norway Doctor Kei Sakamoto, MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, The Sir James Black Centre, University of Dundee, United Kingdom Vejleder Professor Erik A.

Fire kampanalysesystemer blev sammenlignet i deres evne til at evaluere aktivitetsmønstre under en fodboldkamp, og det blev undersøgt om et omkostningslavt videobaseret analysesystem kan anvendes til at studere aktivitetsprofilen og bevægelsesmønstret under motionsfodbold organiseret som småspil. For at undersøge den fysiske belastning af motionsfodbold blev aktivitetsprofilen og pulsresponset målt under fodboldsmåspil for raske utrænede mænd og kvinder, hjemløse mænd samt livslangt trænede fodboldspillere. Desuden blev det undersøgt, hvordan antallet af spillere i disse fodboldsmåspil influerede på aktivitetsprofilen og pulsresponset. For at evaluere det fysiologiske respons under 7 mod 7 blev der udtaget muskelbiopsier samt opsamlet blodprøver før, under og efter fodboldtræningen. Fitnesseffekterne samt de kardiovaskulære sundhedseffekter af 3-4 måneders regelmæssig deltagelse i motionsfodbold organiseret som småspil blev undersøgt for raske utrænede mænd og kvinder, hjemløse mænd samt midaldrende mænd med mild-moderat hypertension. Endvidere blev det undersøgt, om de positive ændringer, der blev observeret efter 3 måneders fodboldtræning for mænd, kunne vedholdes over et år med reduceret træningsmængde. Studierne i denne afhandling viste, at der under motionsfodbold organiseret som småspil udføres hyppige aktivitetsskift, et højt antal intense løb og mange specifikke aktioner uafhængigt af køn, alder, fodbolderfaring, social baggrund samt antallet af spillere. Desuden blev det påvist at aktiviteten er høj i både det aerobe og anaerobe energisystem i perioder af træningen. Træningsinterventionsstudier viste, at regelmæssig deltagelse i motionsfodbold organiseret som småspil førte til flere signifikante positive kardiovaskulære og muskulære træningstilpasninger og derfor til en forbedret præstations- og sundhedsprofil. 2011, 178 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN: 978 87 917 7138 5 Tid Fredag den 24. juni 2011 kl. 9.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Jens Bo Nielsen (formand), Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet Professor Bente Klarlund Pedersen, Centre of Inflammation and Metabolism (CIM), Rigshospitalet, København Professor, Dr. Carlo Castagna, University of Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy Vejledere Lektor Peter Krustrup, Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet.

Insulinresistens, forstået som en reducering af insulins evne til at regulere stofskiftet i forskellige væv herunder skeletmuskulaturen, er en tidligt forekommende samt central parameter for udvikling af T2D, hvor overforsyning af energi og lipider er væsentlige faktorer i udvikling af insulinresistens. Denne ph.d.-afhandling belyser de mekanismer, der forbinder en overforsyning af energi og lipider med udvikling af insulinresistens i skeletmuskulatur samt de mekanismer, der ligger bag en forbedret insulinvirkning efter både et enkeltstående arbejde samt efter træning. Resultater præsenteret i denne afhandling underbygger nylige studiers observation af, at den proksimale del af insulinsignalvejen sandsynligvis ikke er et primært mål for energi/lipid induceret insulinresistens. Et nyt fund var en lipidinduceret site-specifik fosforylering af TBC1D4 Ser341, hvilket indikerer at den primære mekanisme bag lipidinduceret insulinresistens skal findes nedstrøms Akt i forbindelse med TBC1D4, længere distalt i signalvejen eller i en endnu ikke beskrevet parallel signalvej. Både et enkeltstående arbejde samt træning forbedrede insulinresistens i skeletmuskulatur uden observation af ændringer i proksimal insulinsignalering. Et forudgående enkeltstående arbejde var forbundet med en øget site-specifik fosforylering på flere sites af TBC1D4, hvilket underbygger tidligere observationer, mens ingen umiddelbar forbedring af insulinsignalering kunne forklare den positive effekt af træning på glukoseoptagelse i skeletmuskulatur i rotter. Afhandlingen belyser desuden leukemia inhibitory factor, (LIF)s, potentielle rolle i initiering af en alternativ signalvej, der kan stimulere glukoseoptagelse i isoleret skeletmuskulatur i mus og undersøgte muligheden for at omgå insulinresistens i skeletmuskulatur vi gp130 receptor signalering. 2011, 188 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN: 978 87 917 7135 4 Tid Fredag den 13. maj 2011 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Matthew Watt, Biology of Lipid Metabolism Group, Department of Physiology, Monash University Clayton, Victoria, Australia.

Annette Michelsen la Cour Ph.d. afhandling Afhandlingen er i to dele. Del 1 Idrætsforeningers velfærdspotentiale Virker det? og i givet fald hvorfor?Evaluering af idrætsprojekter for overvægtige børnIdrætsprojekter for vanskeligt stillede børn blev finansieret af en pulje lanceret i 2006 af Kulturministeriet og Socialministeriet. Den del af indsatsen, der er rettet mod overvægtige børn, har i de forløbne 3 år været genstand for evaluering, 33 projekter har fået støtte og 21 af disse projekter har været fulgt tæt. Målgruppen er overvægtige børn, der står udenfor den organiserede idræt. Børnene rekrutteres gennem et samarbejde med den kommunale sundhedsplejerske, skole eller SFO. Evalueringen viser, at denne rekruttering generelt er gået godt og med fordel kan styrkes gennem et formaliseret samarbejde mellem kommunerne og foreningerne. Gennem leg og udendørs aktiviteter stifter børnene bekendtskab med et bredere idrætsbegreb end forventet. Overvægtige børn vil som alle børn gerne bevæge sig og dyrke idræt og kan på særlige, tryghedsskabende hold opnå de fornødne kompetencer, viser evalueringen. Evalueringen viser samtidig, at det frivillige foreningsliv råder over en stor ressource i form af lokal social kapital, der kommer vanskeligt stillede børn til gode. Konklusionen er, at det frivillige foreningsliv med fordel kan inddrages i løsning af velfærdsstatslige opgaver, men foreningerne skal understøttes økonomisk og organisatorisk. Gennem det frivillige foreningsliv skabes frie individer og medlemmer, i stedet for klienter og patienter, og børnene opnår adgang til et vigtigt kulturelt og socialt børnefællesskab. Del 2 Idrætsforeningers velfærdspotentiale En sociologisk analyse af sammenhængen mellem velfærdspolitik, social kapital og socialt entreprenørskab i 21 idrætsprojekter for vanskeligt stillede, overvægtige børnDet centrale forskningsspørgsmål vedrører statens mulighed for at inddrage civilsamfundsbaserede velfærdsproducerende aktører. I afhandlingen analyseres disse aktørers potentiale i forhold til at løse velfærdspolitiske problemer, og der peges på betydningen af foreningernes netværkskarakter og netværkernes inkluderende karakter. Afhandlingens empiriske genstandsfelt er en evaluering af en række idrætsprojekter for vanskeligt stillede, overvægtige børn finansieret af satspuljemidler udbudt af Kulturministeriet og Socialministeriet. Analysens teoretiske perspektiv gør det metodisk aktuelt med en typologisering af foreningernes indsats. I analysen arbejdes med tre foreningsmodeller, der er mere eller mindre velfærdsproducerende omend på forskelligt grundlag: Den velfærdsinstitutionelle model, der samarbejder med kommunale institutioner, med sundhedsprofessionelle og har et videregående organisatorisk perspektiv. Denne forening vil være velegnet til at indgå i fremtidige velfærdsproducerende indsatser. Til den velfærdsinstitutionelle model knytter sig den idrætsorienterede sociale entreprenør, hvis sociale indignation og krav om forandring er drivkræfterne bag indsatsen. Den foreningsinstitutionelle model, der skaber social værdi indenfor foreningens organisatoriske rammer og i lokalsamfundet ved hjælp af eksisterende netværker og særligt tilrettelagte aktiviteter. Denne type forening arbejder primært indenfor et eget foreningsorganisatorisk perspektiv og har et knapt så instrumentaliserbart, velfærdsproducerende potentiale som den første type. Til den foreningsinstitutionelle model knytter sig en idrætsorienteret ildsjæl, der brænder for sin forening og for at skabe projekter, der kan skaffe nye medlemmer. Den tredje type, den sundhedsinstitutionelle model ansætter sundhedsprofessionelle til at udføre projektet. Indsatsen er i modsætning til de to andre foreningsmodellers indsatser baseret på et snævert sundhedsbegreb, tilgangen er forebyggelse gennem sundhedsoplysning og fysisk aktivitet. Denne foreningsmodel skaber sundhedsværdi, men ikke sociale netværker, der er forbundet med foreningen. Til den sundhedsprofessionelle model knytter der sig en sundhedsprofessionel, der som ansat på et projekt ikke er forbundet med foreningens netværker eller virke. Denne aktørs tilgang er sundhedsorienteret, og den sundhedsprofessionelle har et ansættelsesmæssigt professionelt forhold til sin opgave. Ved at betragte regeringens puljepolitik som et udtryk for den styringsform, der kaldes det associative demokrati, kan foreningernes involvering i løsning af velfærdspolitiske problemer betragtes som en velfungerende styringsteknologi beslægtet med Enevældens styringsteknologier. Det teoretiske perspektiv på de forskellige metoder idrætsforeningerne anvender for at løse opgaven, gør det muligt at betragte foreningerne som medstyrende intermediære instanser. Analysen viser, at puljepolitikken er vellykket - den ikke bare sikrer men øger den organiske solidaritet og styrker samfundets sociale sammenhængskraft. Dette forhold mellem stat og civilsamfund blev allerede omkring år 1900 påpeget af sociologen Emile Durkheim. Den daværende organisering af medstyring foregik omkring korporative fællesskaber. Foreningernes metoder viser, at fællesskaberne i dag er bredere, og at idrætsforeningernes netværker som konsekvens af puljen forbindes til marginaliserede grupper. Fordi idrætsforeninger har disse moderne intermediære træk, og staten formår at styrke foreningernes sociale kræfter, bliver foreningerne socialt og politisk betydningsfulde. Afhandlingen konkluderer, at der er et stort potentiale for det udvidede samarbejde mellem stat og civilsamfundsforeninger i forhold til at skabe velfærd og løse en række aktuelle velfærdsproblemer. 2011, Del 1: 115 sider.

Optagelsen af FA og specielt transporten over cellens plasmamembran har i lang tid været antaget at foregå ved passiv transport udelukkende afhængig af FA koncentrationsgradienten over sarcolemma. I det seneste årti har adskillelige undersøgelser frembragt resultater, der indikerer, at den transsarcolemmale FA-transport involverer en proteinmedieret komponent. I denne sammenhæng er adskillige såkaldte fedtbindende proteiner blevet identificeret. I skeletmuskler, hvor optagelsen af plasma-FA er en væsentlig faktor i energistofskiftet, er flere fedtbindende proteiner blevet identificeret, såsom FABPpm, FATP1, FATP4 og FAT/CD36. Denne ph.d.-afhandling samler resultater fra 4 studier og en række upublicerede resultater sammen med den nyeste viden indenfor fedtbindende proteiner, i en detaljeret oversigt over reguleringen af fedtmetabolismen i skeletmuskler.

Generelt indebærer et forhøjet blodtryk en stor risiko for slagtilfælde og hjertestop. Denne afhandling beskæftiger sig med effekten af akut og regelmæssigt fysisk arbejde hos personer med forhøjet blodtryk. Afhandlingen dækker overordnet 3 hovedområder: 1) tilvækst af nye blodkar; 2) regulering af perifer vaskulær funktion og 3) remodellering af kapillærernes basalmembran. Disse områder er undersøgt i skeletmusklen hos personer der deltog i et 16 ugers træningsprogram. De interessante fund i denne afhandling er, at en periode med regelmæssig træning er forbundet med adskillige ændringer der øger den vaskulære tilvækst og forbedrer reguleringen af blodkarrenes tonus. Disse ændringer sker samtidig med en sænkning af blodtrykket og indikerer en positiv effekt af træning, der kan være forbundet med en forbedret evne til regulering af den totale perifere modstand hos de hypertensive personer. 2010, 123 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN 978 87 917 7128 6 Tid Onsdag den 8. september 2010 kl. 14.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet, Nørre Allé 53, 1., 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Hans Hoppeler, Institute of Anatomy, University of Bern, Switzerland.

I skeletmuskelvæv er hormon-sensitiv lipase (HSL) generelt blevet anerkendt, som værende den primære lipase med ansvar for hydrolysering af IMTG, men for nyligt blev adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) identificeret, som en TG-specifik lipase i adskillige væv hos gnavere. I denne afhandling blev vigtigheden af ATGL for lipolyse af IMTG i human og rotteskeletmuskulatur undersøgt. Inden denne afhandlings påbegyndelse var viden om ATGL i skeletmuskulatur ganske sparsom, hvorfor det primære arbejde har omfattet metodeudvikling til måling af ATGL aktivitet og lipolyse af IMTG. Ved brug af et aktivitetsassay som kan skelne mellem ATGL og HSL aktiviteter blev det fundet, at ATGL aktivitet forefindes i human skeletmuskulatur. Endvidere blev effekten af et forløb med udholdenhedstræning på reguleringen af lipaseproteiner samt fosforyleringsgrader af disse undersøgt i raske mandlige forsøgspersoner. Til undersøgelse af, hvorvidt HSL er den eneste TG-lipase, som aktiveres i skeletmuskulaturen under kontraktioner, som tidligere foreslået, eller om ATGL bidrager til lipolyse af IMTG blev ex vivo inkuberede rotte soleus muskler anvendt med og uden tilstedeværelsen af en farmakologisk HSL hæmmer. Resultaterne fra denne afhandling indikerer, at ATGL i tillæg til HSL er vigtig for lipolyse af IMTG i skeletmuskulaturen. Udover de eksperimentelle data giver denne afhandling en oversigt over litteraturen, som beskriver reguleringen af TG-lipaser i skeletmuskulaturen samt i fedtvæv. Endvidere diskuteres en række molekylære mekanismer med mulig betydning for regulering af ATGL aktiviteten samt, hvorvidt TG-lipaser kan være potentielle mål for forebyggelse og behandling af insulinresistens. 2010, 121 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN 978 87 917 7127 9 Tid Fredag den 7. maj 2010 kl. 13.00 Sted Auditorium 1, August Krogh Bygningen, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 København Ø Bedømmelsesudvalg Associate Professor, Gregory Steinberg, Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada.

Forstyrrelser i ionhomeostasen og særligt akkumulering af K+ i interstitiet kan inducere depolarisering af cellemembranen og derved påvirke evnen til at arbejde intenst. Dermed er de iontransporterende proteiner i skeletmusklerne formentlig væsentlige i forhold til muskelcellens evne til at vedligeholde ionhomeostasen og udskyde udviklingen af muskulær træthed under intenst arbejde. Denne ph.d.-afhandling har primært fokuseret på at manipulere med protein ekspressionen i human skeletmuskulatur enten via behandling med dexamethasone eller gennem forskellige trænings og inaktivitets interventioner for at undersøge effekten af ion regulering på træthedsudviklingen og præstationen under intenst arbejde. Ligeledes er molekylære mekanismer involveret i Na+/K+ pumpe aktiviteten i skeletmuskulatur ved overgangen fra hvile til arbejde undersøgt. Resultaterne fra de eksperimenter som afhandlingen bygger på viser en sammenhæng mellem ændringer i FXYD1 fosforyleringen og den arbejdsinducerede stigning i Na+/K+ pumpe aktivitet.

Når vi eksempelvis indlærer nye motoriske færdigheder, understøttes ændringerne i vores motoriske præstation af ændringer i centralnervesystemets egenskaber. Afhandlingen udgør en sammenfatning af resultaterne fra syv eksperimentelle studier, som havde til formål at undersøge hvilke plastiske ændringer, der ledsager motorisk indlæring og træning i det intakte nervesystem, men også fysisk inaktivitet i form af immobilisering. Det eksperimentelle arbejde er primært baseret på adfærdsmæssige mål og målinger opsamlet ved hjælp af af noninvasive elektrofysiologiske og billeddannende teknikker. Afhandlingen består af en introduktion til emnerne motorisk kontrol og neuroplasticitet efterfulgt af en præsentation og diskussion af de resultater, der er fremkommet i de inkluderede studier. Fra et grundforskningsperspektiv bidrager resultaterne til en basal forståelse af mekanismer indenfor plasticitet og forholdet mellem plasticitet og adfærd. Et af afhandlingens hovedformål er at udvide fokus for neuroplasticitet til CNS som helhed. Resultaterne viser ændringer på flere niveauer i CNS og i koblingen mellem strukturer. For at forstå adfærdsmæssige implikationer, synes det således nødvendigt at undersøge neuroplasticitet på flere niveauer. Forsøgene vedrører kun effekter af indlæring og immobilisering i det raske nervesystem, men de observerede fænomener er højst sandsynligt også relevante i forbindelse med (neuro)rehabilitering. Fra et anvendt perspektiv, kan resultaterne være anvendelige i forhold til at udvikle strategier med henblik på at forbedre motorisk indlæring også i forbindelse med rehabilitering samt at modvirke uønskede effekter af inaktivitet eller immobilisering. 2010, 250 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN: 978 87 917 7126 2 Tid Fredag den 12. marts 2010 kl. 14.00 Sted Henrik Dam Auditoriet, Panum Insituttet, Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Richard Carson, School of Psychology, Queens University, Belfast, United Kingdom.

I 1998 blev både cykelsporten og svømningen ramt af en række dopingskandaler, hvorefter især den Internationale Olympiske Komité (IOC) blev mål for en omfattende politisk kritik for ikke at have løst sportens dopingproblemer. Med dannelsen af WADA og gennem udarbejdelsen af et globalt regelsæt for dopingbekæmpelse, the World Anti-Doping Code, er intentionen at skabe et partnerskab mellem politiske organisationer og sportens organisationer. Denne forandringsproces har betydet, at ansvar og beslutninger flyttes over i et nyt globalt agentur, og at nye teknikker så som atleters meldepligt, systematisk testning og harmoniserede straffe introduceres. Det nye regelsæt, der antager en `lov-lignende´ karakter, skal efterfølgende implementeres i national lovgivning og i de internationale idrætsorganisationers regelsæt. Dette har langt fra været en ukompliceret proces, og denne proces er netop omdrejningspunktet for afhandlingen. Afhandlingen tager et historisk sigte for at belyse de organisatoriske tiltag forud for dannelsen af WADA for herigennem at analysere den organisatoriske forandringsproces. Udover WADA og IOC analyseres det internationale fodboldforbund (FIFA), den internationale cykelunion (UCI) og det internationale atletikforbund (IAAF). Afhandlingen er en organisationssociologisk analyse, der blandt andet tager sit teoretiske udgangspunkt i Niklas Luhmanns systemteori og forskellige neo-institutionelle tilgange til organisationer. Empirisk er afhandlingen baseret på tekstdokumenter, herunder interne dokumenter og referater fra IAAF og FIFA. Afhandlingen giver således et indblik i, hvordan magtfulde internationale idrætsorganisationer har ageret før, under og efter dannelsen af WADA og kan bidrage til at forstå de nuværende gnidninger og udfordringer for international dopingbekæmpelse. 2009, 180 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN: 978 87 917 71 231 Tid Onsdag den 11. november 2009 kl. 13.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt, Nørre Allé 53, 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Jan Ove Tangen, Telemark University, College, Norway.

Insulinreceptor-isoformerne har forskellig bindingsaffinitet for insulin, IGF1 og IGF2 og er endvidere vævsafhængigt udtrykt med IR-A i hjernen og IR-B i leveren, men den egentlige biologiske relevans af de to isoformer er stadig ukendt. Denne afhandling fokuserer på karakteriseringen af den biologiske rolle af de to insulinreceptor-isoformer og hvordan forståelsen af isoformernes biologi kan udnyttes til fremtidig insulinbehandling. Ved hjælp af adenovira og hepatocytter fra den transgene leverspecifikke insulinreceptor knockout (LIRKO) mus har vi forsøgt at karakterisere hvilken rolle isoformerne har i leverbiologi. Humane muskel- og fedtbiopsier blev anvendt for at se om ratioen af IR-A/B kunne have betydning den nedsatte insulinfølsomhed hos type 2 diabetikere, mens to IR-A/B præferentielle insulinanaloger blev undersøgt med henblik på om det var muligt at opnå vævsspecificitet. Vores resultater indikerer, at ratioen af IR-A/B ikke associerer til nedsat insulinfølsomhed i muskler eller fedt i type 2 diabetes, men at det snarere er en general nedgang i ekspressionen af insulinreceptorer der bidrager til den nedsatte følsomhed. Endvidere tyder vores data på, at det er muligt at opnå vævsspecifikke effekter med IR-A/B præferentielle insulinanaloger alt afhængigt af vævsfordelingen af IR-A/B.

Denne afhandling beskæftiger sig med to Rab GTPase-aktiverende proteiner, TBC1D1 og TBC1D4, involveret i GLUT4 mobiliseringen til plasma membranen i både cellekulturer og intakt skeletmuskel. Ved hjælp af transgene musemodeller har de studier, der præsenteres i denne afhandling forsøgt at undersøge hvilken rolle AMPK spiller for reguleringen af TBC1D1 og TBC1D4 i intakt skeletmuskulatur. Yderligere har vi anvendt humane forsøgsmodeller til i skeletmuskulatur at undersøge reguleringen af TBC1D4 under akut arbejde og i tiden umiddelbart efter arbejdets ophør. Vores data støtter idéen om at TBC1D1 og TBC1D4 er substrater for mange kinaser og konvergenspunkter for insulinafhængige og -uafhængige signalveje. Udover de eksperimentelle data giver denne afhandling også en grundig gennemgang af den tilgængelige litteratur der beskriver hvordan TBC1D1 og TBC1D4 er reguleret.

Hvordan indfanger man de læreprocesser der foregår, når vi bevæger os sammen i en intens kamp? Når vi er optagede af at udføre en salto? Eller når en kammerat tager vores hånd på en særlig blid og kærlig måde i et scenisk udtryk, som vi har skabt sammen? Igennem multimodale interviews med børn og deltagende observation med video i dans og idræt træder kropslighed, mening og kreativitet frem som fænomener, der indgår centralt i forhold til at forstå børns kropslige oplevelser og læringsmuligheder i et bredt spektrum af bevægelsesaktiviteter – fra redskabsgymnastik over boldspil til optræden med koreografi, skabt af børnene selv. Undersøgelsen viser, at når der undervises med et æstetisk perspektiv på bevægelse, rummer børnenes læringsmuligheder en større bevidsthed om og i bevægelse, som har betydning for deres kropslighed. Undervisning i dans giver særlig mulighed for at arbejde med opmærksomhed på kroppen og det skabende udtryk. Dans i skolen kan derfor bidrage til at sætte fokus på et udvidet kropsbegreb og æstetiske læreprocesser som en vigtig del af bevægelsesuddannelse. På sigt kan en sådan undervisning også få betydning for børnenes sundhed i et humanistisk perspektiv, fordi den udvider deres kropslige bevidsthed og forståelse af hinanden i kropslige relationer. 2009, 272 sider, 150,- kr.ISBN: 978 87 917 7118 7 Download hele ph.d. afhandlingen Ind i bevægelsen Tid Fredag den 30 januar 2009, kl 13.00 Sted Store Auditorium, Institut for Idræt, Nørre Allé 51, 2200 København N Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor, dekan, fil.dr.

I insulin-resistent muskel er kontraktionsstimuleret glukoseoptagelse intakt og insulin-uafhængig, hvilket gør kontraktions-signalvejen(e) til et potentielt ´drug-target´ i behandlingen af insulin resistens. Denne Ph.d. afhandling har adresseret nødvendigheden og tilstrækkeligheden af kandidat-signalproteiner i kontraktionsstimuleret glukoseoptagelse, primært ved anvendelse af en klassisk ex vivo muskelinkubationsteknik på fuldt differentierede gnavermuskler i hvilken kontraktion, farmakologisk aktivering og hæmning kan kombineres med transgene musemodeller. Udover hovedstudierne gives i afhandlingen en grundig introduktion til glukoseoptagelsesregulering i skeletmuskel samt en diskussion af en række andre potentielle regulatorer af kontraktionsstimuleret glukoseoptagelse. 2008, 170 sider, 100,- kr.ISBN 978 87 917 7119 4 Tid Fredag den 12. december 2008 kl. 14.
